Great news. Sounds like WW helped get the dogs (named Dimmer and Misty) out of your Bongo. Here's to many happy miles :D

Nice one rob! =D> Glad it's sorted, I hadn't considered the issues you would encounter at junctions i must admit #-o And i guess the "lights on, lights off" thing isn't an issue in japan, as every other car probably has them fitted, so it's an accepted occurrence there... But yes, i can see your concern about being sat behind some tattooed meat-head with your lights going on and off! :shock:

I would have thought that there would be no problem with the plods so long as the side lights stayed on all the time when required to do so.

It was no problem realy and an easy fix

Was great meeting you Emma but I do apologise, for when we finished talking I realised how cold it was and you must have been frozen listening to me waffle about Bongos
