  Hi I'm just following on from posts from Stanton Man made a while ago about the Rover air flow meter. I too got passed a quote for a lovely total of £335 for replacing air flow meter plus labour (and new air filter). I sourced a meter for £110 (compared to Rover's £180 before VAT). Just wondering
• Driving lesson vouchers 6 Jan 2005 (Forum)
  It's SWMBO's birthday coming up, and I'm struggling for ideas for a present (why are women so awkward to buy for? ;) ). One idea is that she needs driving lessons, as she wants to learn to drive. She did actually have some lessons about a year ago, and passed the theory test, but due to work
• HGV driving for a year 30 Mar 2009 (Forum)
  Just an idle question, really. Lots and lots of websites out there all promising that with sufficient effort it's possible to earn £600/week driving HGVs (I imagine that's 50 hours+), is it actually possible to achieve this soon after passing the test? All these companies are trading under

  MY girlfriend's '99 Yaris went in for the MOT, one of the items they failed it on was that the headlamp angle could not be adjusted (it was too low on one side). In order to pass it had to have a new headlamp fitted! We got the original headlamp off them, there's no adjustment 'mechanism

Plus, the lights on my mum's (newer model) Almera are just as bad. My bulbs are the normal old-fashioned headlight type (usually called bulb 472) - any suggestions how
