Its about £45 IIRC

Mine failed due to having none orange bulbs in the side indicators [been like that since I have had it and it passed last year !!!]

£1.40 bulbs fitted

and offside beam was out slightly

Little bit of labour

Because Xtreme collect the car

MAKE SURE IT PASSES i.e do the bulb and adjust the light

do a couple of other little bits while its there

and then return it with a smile

Fair enough, I had mine collected by Xtreme so fair play, but then I did pay an hours labour plus the MOT fee to have someone take it to the test centre. I was interested from a cost point of view

My thinking is that if I had taken it in

I could have changed the bulbs, but I would have had to drive somwhere to buy them

I wouldn't have the foggiest on how to adjust the beam

So in the end I would have wasted a day

An hours labour is worth it IMHO
