    Next time, buy a classic Jag.

    Every bulb is an individual bulb and available anywhere for about 50p and take seconds to change with no tools.

      Ever changed the headlight bulbs on an E-Type?

        I'd have done it for £20.

        I've also had to phone the AA and say "both my headlight bulbs have gone and it's dark". And they come and fit them for free.

        Will work inside IR35. Or for food.

          Ive always used Halfords to stock up before embarking on my trans-European travels and have found them good value, though have not used their services just as a shopper.

            At our halfords they have the posters up advertising that they fit items but each time I have asked they have refused! Don't bother with them now
            Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

            I preferred version 1!

              I keep a complete set of spare bulbs in the glove compartment. The only one that's a bit tricky to get to is the side repeater for the indicator

                They are rumoured to refuse on some vehicles because it's too hard for them.

                  Yep, they did that with my Vectra.

                  Apparently removing the filler neck for the washer fluid bottle to get to the bulb was beyond their capabilities
