Scotland but I’ll get them fixed when I get home for now it’s just daytime driving.

Can have a look at it if you are attending any Scottish meetings annie

an update because I hate threads that don’t have conclusions so it went to the garage to have the lights sorted and Kevin mechanic says what you guys say that it’s highly unlikely that 2 bulbs blow together unless it’s something more serious so he checked out fuses wiring and relays all ok so it seems that it was just simply 2 bulbs out and a rear light and a side skirt light all fixed £90

 

[trevskoda]

Bulbs should be about £15 tops plus a few bucks for changing and ten mins to sort, £90 well done kev robbing the ladies.

You will do your ticker in thinking like so.

I don't think he robbed you, he didn't just fit new bulbs he also checked the wiring/fuses/relays etc to give you peace of mind
He has to earn a living and if he doesn't you will be looking for a new mechanic

If he did the job in 10 minutes its because it took him 10 years to learn how to do it in 10 minutes. You pay for the years not the minutes !​

I like Kevin a lot but I have spent years calling him Malcolm I have no idea why until he eventually told me his name is Kevin

You've got to remember the time to diagnose the fault too Trev

Yes most charge by the hr, my min bench charge is £25 and that's for having a look for folk, otherwise there would be a queue at the gate.

I never gave my real name to the girls, track and trace springs to mind.

£90 doesn't sound outrageous to me for 4 bulbs and some diagnostics.

Once took me over an hour out in the wind and rain to change a headlight bulb

Unless you know what your doing you can get yourself in a bit of a pickle trying to fit a head lamp bulb. Watched our up his own arse neighbour trying to fit a pair of wiper blades to his golf after a couple of hours I went out and fitted them in seconds for him. He had even let the wiper arm slip out his hand and crack the windscreen.

If you happy I'm happy think Kevin's very happy
