    i cant beleive you let halfrauds fit bulbs
    Try fitting headlamp bulbs into a Jaguar X-type. You'll quickly realise it is better to let someone else do it. I had great joy watching a Halfrauds employee skin his knuckles and swear a lot while struggling to fit one on my wife's car. I believe they earned their money that day :D

    Any normal person would struggle to fit the bulbs to an X-Type as the space is so incredibly tight. When I had a bulb changed at a dealership they used a mechanic with really tiny hands.
  • how come every garage has a mechanic with tiny hands my local vauxhall dealer ship has one with double jointed elbows i bet he could do it even easier lol

    If halfords did the original work why would you pay a 2nd garage to correct the fault?

    Changes of halfords paying teh bill is slim, If they are in a good mood they may say why did you not
    bring it back, Other responses maybe tough as they snigger & walk off ignoring you.

    Couldnt blame them really.

    It's all part of a cunning plot by Ford/whoever owns Jag now to bring back child labour. Only kids have the right size hands to change an X-Type bulb. :)
