    Snow foam ....

    Stooopid Xenons

    Just been quoted £350 to get this fixed! Of which there is 2 hours labour just to diagnose the problem! Does this sound right, surely it shouldn't take 2 hours to diagnose?

    Stooopid Xenons

    Looks like my Xenons are having a few issues! Turn them on and they adjust in the normal way, but then they just point to the sky! Thought they were a bit high on the way home, then a few people flashed me, just to confirm what I thought!

    Windscreen Wiper Replacements

    Yup, I ordered off www.wiperblades.co.uk, very quick delivery. Of the two different ones they have for the Clio, I went for the cheaper Valeo ones. Very quiet and work well. I think the others are Bosch and about a fiver more.
