also nectar and all loyalty cards are a waste of time.....except
tesco...tee hee

Despite using it when prompted and for many years5 , I've never
actually
got anything from my Tesco card. Would seem to me to only offer
discounts on bulk purchases of things I don't want.

you flung away all the hard cash coupons to spend on groceries or
petrol?


Not sure I've ever had any.

have a good look the next time the tesco mail comes through your door we
usually get at least a tenner...

Who knows, perhaps a homeownershub person might be interested..

Funnily enough, saw one at the weekend with Xenon headlamps. Obviously
someone very keen on accessories (or maybe poor night vision?).


Thought that was disallowed these days (xenons retrofitted)?

You could retrofit - but had to have headlamp washers and either self
levelling light units or suspension. Although I'm not sure that still
applies today - and dunno if it applies to LED. Obviously an MOT would
pick up a poor beam pattern and or aim.

It still applies, but the sort of dick that sticks xenon replacements in
without doing it properly knows that too and swaps the original halogens
back for the MOT and out again afterwards ...

Search Facebook for Reliant Robin. There is at least one group you can join where these are regularly advertised and regularly sold. Adverts are free

HIDs take less current than even quite early tungsten headlamps. 35w is
common.
