    RAC man... Awful experience!!

    I know right! Hes on the job and didn't feel bad or have decency whatsoever... I'm going to file a complaint about him tomorrow, but I will mention how good the 2nd guy was. Its interesting how the quality of service can differ so drastically from each job.

    RAC man... Awful experience!!

    Headlight bulbs cut out

    Hello all, I turned my head lights on after work and they turned on for a split second and then both cut out. I thought it was the fuse as they didnt work afterward but Halfords reckon its the switch itself to turn them on. Anyone know anything about this?

    Boot opening when I start my car?

    The pictures wouldn't load so I cant see what areas to pull off and clean out, is it the wiring going into the bootlit by my brake light? Or the button to open the boot lid? The springs look alright as far as I could see!
