The F has the ATE type big spring (and they are big callipers on 380mm discs!), its a job I actually wear safety specs for!

I started putty on the full goggles type, as not sure my plastic safety glasses would stop it!  Trouble is, they steam up to easily

I might get a full safety mask, as that spring in the chops does smart a bit.

Couldn't you just use your gimp mask? 

How do you know he wears a gimp mask?

Washed the wheels on the Boxster. Will finish the job over the weekend, and then start into looking after the Omega again.

Less than a year ago I fitted a new pair of Halfords H1 dip beam bulbs to my sons Civic.
A couple of days ago he mentioned that the n/s one had stopped working. Found a used one in the shed that worked so fitted that.
This morning he said that one isnt working now either, so fitted another one I had in the shed.
Now all four bulbs (dip and high beam) are on when headlights are switched on.
Switching to main beam changes nothing, and high beam blue tell tale light on the dash doesnt come on.
Dont know where to start to find out why.
Was originally thinking of just fitting four new bulbs, but if theres something else going on, it may blow them in no time and thats almost £50 wasted.
Im not great with electrickery, so any ideas welcomed.

Perhaps he's been hacked.

Check the appropriate relay,, also might be the headlight dippy flicky bit on the steering wheel.

Put 10L of fuel in the Austin fuel tank, no leaks from the plate I TIG welded on the bottom where I had to cut a hole to get the swirl pot in.

Didnt describe it quite right first time so wil have another go.

Switch headlights on and all four bulbs come on (dipped and main beam) but main beam bulbs are noticeably dim.
Switch to mean beam and both n/s bulbs go off completely but o/s main beam becomes brighter as it should be.
All I did to cause this was change the n/s dipped beam bulb.
The one I fitted was an old spare bulb I had in the shed, which isnt very bright and needs swapping for a decent new one, but I can see why that would cause this to happen.
Im flummoxed tbh.
