    I feel this customer only goes to a garage when something goes wrong.

    Still..... Could be worse.

    Could be one of the "turn the radio up until the grinding noise goes away" peeps.

    thankyou for advice on lights-which is all i asked for.
    went to motor factor first thing this morning,got the bulb,and managed to change them myself.felt quite chuffed!
    i check tread and pressure in tyres weekly,but thats all i can check myself,which is why i take car to garage regularly to have them checked(is this not needed as well then?)i also check oil/coolant/windscreen washer reg tho not weekly if i'm honest.
    i thanked the man who informed me the lights were out last night and sorted the problem out this morning.
    SO STOP JUDGING ME,I ONLY ASKED FOR A FRIENDLY BIT OF ADVICE.

    To be honest that's all you got considering you stated you only had your tyres checked every 3 months or so, ;);)
    I like the thanks button, but ,please, an I agree button.

    Will the grammar and spelling police respect I do make grammatical errors, and have carp spelling, no need to remind me.;)

    Always expect the unexpected:eek:and then you won't be dissapointed

    cleaning the terminals to tracing and replacing the wire in the loom

    quick fix solder wire to the bulbs eath and run it to a bolt that is bolted to a painted surface (not seatbelt) boot latch will do

    Leave OP alone at least checking is done.

    Not everyone is a petrol head or thinks they are.

    There are a many more who do absolutely nothing. Think their car is like their phone, switch it on , go.:rotfl:

    Worse still there are many, MANY more who get a new (or newish) car as soon as anything goes wrong.
