I’ve got a brake light bulb out result
Good work mate.
(1) What are you two doing in seperate cars? Dual incomes is sooo last year!
(2) How much time @ £8ph did you waste ■■■■■■■ around the breakers yard looking for said bulb?
When I put my car in for MOT, there’s always something wrong with it, but I get bulbs and stuff replaced free - since I’m paying for the service and all.
That is, Free with no time of my own wasted setting it up beyond the phone call to book the car in!
save even more money, get rid of GF and her car, you will save more than any bulb

Well something ive been doing for about 3 months is parking about 1.5 miles away from work and walking the rest of the way. Save 15 mile in gogo juice a week and i feel a wee bit fitter.

Looks like he`s already come out
If you can find a stressed out mum on the m6 near Carlisle, you can save on buying ■■■■
Try not ploughing 12k into being an ‘owner driver’? £7.99 on a headlight bulb might not sound that horrific then.
most people automaticly go to hafrauds and as you say pay £7.99 for a buld most on there way will more than likley bypass a local car components store noted for trade only but yet nobody will think to question the fact " trade only " any parts I buy for my car I will buy myself directly and yes you dont need a trade card they need your buisness at the end of the day , so wipers , oil , bulbs , brakes, anything you would buy from that hellfords you get at trade price example bulb 7.99 from " that place " £1-2 average ( or less ) depandant what bulb main headlight bulbs for most cars 20 quid from halfords and a few quid from the local parts shop
