In my experience, beware Helfrauds' bulbs full stop.  Even the correct ones caused constant warning messages for me.

Not my car, but eventually managed to get the rear brake drums off just, to have a look. I started a couple of weeks ago but failed due to being rusted up solid on the centre hub.
Plusgas & a big (soft faced) knocking stick prevailed in the end.  ;D ;D ;D

Nothing. Just drove it... aaah long may that continue.  ;D


...well, until either this or next weekend. Brakes and front wheel barings next. Sigh...

But that should be it for a while... until the exhaust falls off and that will start round two. Ding ding.  ;D

I reset the pesky airbag light (from when I had the drivers door loom unplugged and turned the ignition on). Ahh, no more annoying red light!

Bet the emissions light comes back on again now..  ;D
