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

Nice one rob!

Glad it's sorted, I hadn't considered the issues you would encounter at junctions i must admit

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!

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.
