That's what I thought, and I rarely have to drive at night anyway... then, a couple of days ago, a friend desperately need picked up from the airport at midnight, and I was half way out the door when I remembered - so poor girlfriend had to go, half asleep.


After repeatedly hassling everybody from Vauxhall to the repair company, I got a semi-audible phone call from Hastings (apparently in South Africa) yesterday, telling me that the body shop has now got a light for me, and would be in touch immediately.


Needless to say, they weren't - but fingers crossed they have actually got it...


Puts the price of Rover parts in perspective, at something like £5-600 for A PAIR of headlights
