• I never had a problem when I took my youngest. They never questioned it and he sat in the back obviously. He’d had enough when he went round with me, he declined to go with his mother, maybe he knew ...

• Earth wires for Headlights

• Update, the same fault reoccurred. Took the car in again and they discovered the earth point corroded. All done on the LR warranty.
  
  I did make a comment that maybe the new headlight wasn’t needed ...

• Dashcams... do you, or don't you? And would you recommend?

• I know what you say about price, but …
  
  Anyway, I’ve got a BlackVue front and back. It’s compact, runs faultlessly and the images are good quality.

• That’s bad!
  
  I take it the photo is taken from the nearside wheel arch?
