    The mazda 323 I posted here a couple of weeks ago.
    You have never seen a kid so happy in your life:)

    I also got Elizabets quad going today, so she is happy too.
    Happy house tonight:D

    I remember the horror of trying to replace the headlamps on the OHs C5, they are a right headwreck.

    Some Halfords in the UK exclude them from their bulb fitting service as they take too long :D

    Shouldn't be going after eight weeks tho!

    I might try look at the multimeter tomorrow and see what I can find. They go at an alarming rate and your right they are a pain in the behind to replace. Especially the drivers side one, where the hydraulic pump is. The other isnt so bad with the battery that you can remove.

    Sports aside, I've broken two fingers, crushed the top of another, smashed my collarbone, fractured my hip, crocked my knee and had various other non breaking of bones injuries.
