Are the reverse lights not bright enough?

Sorry, back to the question - The crank sensor problems were my first bit of trouble on my car, looking at the forum convinced me to replace it, and bingo  :y

Why bother? If you get emulsified oil around you know why, so why worry? The next proper rum you do will get rid of it anyway.  ;)
