There'd be none of this carry-on with a Honda Legend.

True dat.

Mechanism is back in one piece now, I’ll reinstall the screen and the acres of trim tomorrow.

Excellent, I was thinking about getting a set for my environmentally friendly van seeing as it's running on gas

Do it. PM me if you want the details of where to buy them with minimal fuss.

I've been seriously considering one for the front of my Hilux Surf.

I'm thinking about getting a replacement front wing that enables me to park nearer the supermarket in an EV charging bay.

Fucksake. Halfords noped out of changing the headlight bulbs due to the terrible access. They said their Autocentre next door could maybe do it but they’d need to book me in. 

Decided to have a go myself. Now have hugely skinned hands, the old bulb out on one side and not much more. The access is absolutely awful. 

Think I’m going to remove the front bumper so I can get the headlight units out of the car, replace ALL of the bulbs and the faulty parking sensor in one go. 

Bastard thing.

It does. The passenger side one is fucked, it’s gone all pink and is far more dim than it should be.

Here’s the old and new together - you can see it’s like a cateract on the old bulb
