Title: Of all the times for something to fail...
Post by: KingyMAK on December 12, 2017, 08:49:48 PM

It’s a headlight bulb when it’s 0 degrees, windy and spitting with rain.

I could of left it till tomorrow, yes, but it was the drivers side AND the passengers went off yesterday morning and was hoping for a little less wind for to do it today...

Bit the bullet and now suffering with chillblaines!  :(

lol always the way! Its like punctures, you never get them on a warm sunny day, its got to be cold and raining.

A double failure that quickly is unusual though and could be the sign of a corroding ground point somewhere.

I remember it well! 2 Flat tyres, a headlight and cracked window caused by a scaffolding board on the M6. It was -4 and hailing / snowing so I feel your pain!!
