Rear bulbs are easy, headlight bulbs are a nightmare!

Tipped some of my thermos coffee on the kirb in honour of the evil scientist that created a heater so hot it defies thermodynamics, and then put it in my niva!
Gawd bless ya!
I'm getting a little concerned, it may be radioactive.

The heaters are hot even when off and set to cold!

They are incredibly good heaters - not sure if it was just mine or not - but my Nivas windscreen demister vents looked distinctly distorted by heat!

They're really good - well, when they're not screaming at you anyway - would have been nice if the motors were as capable as the heater matrix!

(Well, couple of days ago actually...but near enough!)

Came incredibly close to getting totalled by the rear end of a bendy bus coming down the wrong side of the road towards me - well, the back of the bus was. The front of said bus was on the correct side of the road and going in the right direction. The rear part however was sliding quite merrily - and quite out of control - on the black ice. Don't think I've ever stopped, got into reverse and reversed into a side-street that fast before!

...Second time that's nearly happened to me now! Starting to take it personally.

Fitted the rear lights, fitted the freshly painted bumpers, caught the dog after he escaped.
