E14/E27 don’t unscrew. They’re also sprung, so holds them tight.

Some naff chinese ebay jobs can have bare neutral exposed on the LED circuit board, and on the metal heatsink. With screw fitting the middle is always L and the outer always N. With 2 pin, you actually have a 50:50 chance of that bare neutral actually being bare live. So… always use GU10’s that have plastic front cover, and always turn power off to change a bulb. At least with GU10, the chances are there are other bulbs in the fitting (or string of recessed lights) so you know it is off.

Ford Puma headlight bulbs – roadside repair, according to the manual, takes a very large Torx wrench and around an hour of your life you’ll never get back.
Compared to an Octavia, which takes around three minutes.

Shower doors that open outwards…

T5 wiring 🙁
Garage currently looking into central locking/alarm problems. Brickyard/T5 forums are suggesting a wiring loom under the floor that wets out and corrodes. FFS – its a van. Where’s the water going to go once it’s loaded up with wet stuff??

Mondeo mk 2 headlights you had to remove the grill and the whole unit in order to do it properly – otherwise you couldn’t get the clips back on the rear covers like whoever owned mine before me, and then things like the level adjuster inside get damp and stop working. 🙁

Looks like the Octavia is a 5 minute job though 🙂 Could be cos I’ve gone from the largest to the smallest engine available in the car…

Mondeo mk 2 headlights you had to remove the grill and the whole unit in order to do it properly –

and you make “remove the grill” sound so simple! Like those screws never rusted up…

Mk4 Golf headlights – unless you had delicate hands.

Mk3 Mondeo headlights though, spectacular:

Bonnet up, lift 2 retaining sliders and headlamp unit comes out in your hand. Remove/refit bulb from the back, replace unit, tabs down, bonnet shut.

2 minutes absolute tops, and that’s if you’ve never done it before.

Hoping the Mk4 we’ve got now is as easy!
