Vauxhall headlights
My '09 Vauxhall is now on it's third set of headlights - can this be caused by a wiring fault? Dodgy headlights? Something else. AND it took 3 mechanics about half an hour to get the new bulbs in, ended up dropping the front bumper! :eek: Thanks

Personalised Plates
My son was given a set of personalised number plates for his 21st birthday and the people who bought them said they had paid the special £80 fee. Is it right that he has to pay over £100 to keep the old plates, (already on the car) so that he can put them back on when he eventually sells the car? I've checked the DVLA…

A little moan about Stagecoach buses in Manchester
I got on a bus yesterday and asked for a return ticket. I was given a DayRider ticket (for unlimited travel all day) for £3.50. Found out later on that a single was only £1 so if I'd got a single each way I would have only paid £2! I don't travel by bus often so didn't know that the local buses don't sell returns, only…
