Update: Whilst the light provided by these bulbs was much better than standard bulbs, they both failed after only 4 months and less than 1500 miles use, also actually within a couple of days of each other! Even though they were fitted to an ovloV and the lights are on all the time, they only acutely lasted around 100 hours use. This seems somewhat disappointing. They have subsequently been replaced with Osram Nightbreakers which seem at least as bright, if not brighter. Will update this comment if/when they blow.

@@StupidBlokeStupidVideos I've just had the sparks out on my motor they haven't had a looking at in 9 years 73k I got the cocking socket stuck on the plug the rubber grommet got a right bite on ceramic, thankfully I had some stainless rod laying about and made a T-Key pick with a large screwdriver for the handle, once I located the hole in the neck of the socket it nearly cracked me in the face as it shot out of the chamber, safe to say the iridium plugs apart from a bit of carbon were fine and will see the warhorse out!

@StupidBlokeStupidVideos2 жыл бұрын
Maybe, I’m not sure tbh. They seem a solid car, but do have a common issue with squeaky bushes on the back axle so would make sense if it’s a Vauxhall bit. Are you not confusing Volvo with Saab though?
