Always usefull to keep a set of spare bulbs in your kit

Not merely useful, but a legal requirement in France I seem to recall!   :police:

plus the tools needed to change the bulb, its a fine if you can't change the bulb there and then.

Thats a bugger for audi a3 owners then  ::)

On my old A3 the front bumper had to come off to allow the headlight to be removed to even get near the back of it to change the bulb  >:(
They have lumps of what round the back???

Bottle opener ;D
I agree entirely.  So when you lose all the others, you'll still have a spare.

I'd add a big hammer, and remember that if brute force doesn't work, its because you're not using enough ;D
Help, get me out of here.  Its Lorry

Personally, I always make sure I have a spare bottom hose.

A junior hacksaw(with decent spare blades) is all ways good to have, if you cant undo it cut the bugger off, that'll teach it. Alterenativly, if you are a really bad boy it could help resstore ones liberty.

Always go into a corner too fast, in case it turns out to be a quick one!

being a youff Kev, practicing safe sex is always most so always make sure your handbrake is firmly in the on position.
if not brick under a wheel to stop the car rolling

Tie wraps



if it falls off - tie wrap it back on!

As long well the other stuff already listed.

Insulation tape, good to put on the headlamps, to blank of part of the beam, cheaper than the official stuff.

Kev,

It does not have to work, just looks like you have tired - well thats my theory?


PT headlamps, told I would have to get new lights to change beam direction, so just took a guess.

But the Ovlov, has a cut out plan and where to place in on the headlamps in the glovebox book.

Saab say it's difficult to convert the beams on mine so I also carry the official beam conversion pack and will wave it if I ever get stopped for not having the beams converted!
