Bulbs - you mean lamps don't you. , or do they sell daffs too. :roll: :idea:

Seriously - lamps don't take up much room, and judging by the price are a nice little earner - i look for a little garage -usually find that a stop or stop /tail or sidelight bulb costs about 50p vs £2 etc for 2 in a plastic packet.
As for QI -(headlamp ones) --no contest.

My last three cars have been run almost completely on Tesco fuel. It's cheap and I get points. I have tried different fuels that are supposed to give better performance. Yer right, I've never found any difference at all. Tesco buy their fuel on the open mrket from the lowest bidder. They sell loads of the stuff so can push the price down (like the do with spuds).

If they don't have the right additives in, so what, the car runs just fine and is serviced regularly. Honda put some injector cleaner in the tank when they service it anyway.

You here that red diesle does horrid things to cars. Bollocks. Our new combine with common rail CAT C9 seems to run just fine on the 400 litres a day it gets through. My tractor has never even have the valve clearance checked never mind the injectors serviced in 4,000 hrs work.
