Re: Headlights are rubbish
Mornin Gazwould, yeh totally agree with you, osram are the better of two regarding the LUX test, I looked at the review in Auto Express, and I'm sure osram was the third best, so with me not getting a decent service life from the osram id never had Phillips before so thought give them ago.

Re: MOT FAIL on emissions
Fuse 31 I think, reversing light fuse deletes N75. Hope that helps.
