If the fuses are okay it might be the relay to blame for your headlights not coming on; if you listen carefully (perhaps with the engine off, to help) you should hear a faint "click" when you try to switch them on. If not that's probably the problem be easy and cheap to fix.

Coolent system maybe needs to be bled? That's a little harder.

Beaver Audio it's called (*snigger*) - it's in between the two church steeples, on the same side as them.

While we're in this thread, i got two punctures on the daimler last month and the guys at sameday tyres were brand new about repairing them both, rather than replacing them - £7 per tyre (new ones are £150 and I've never known somewhere like kwikfit to repair them - "oh no, sir, can't repair that cos it's a wednesday - by the way, you need a new exhaust" etc...)

they be here

Aye, Beaver Audio are alright. I bought a fair bit of my kit from them, but fitted it myself.

where's good for tyres these days? Just had my 20K service and the front ones are on their last legs. I do a lot of motorway driving (fuck knows if this makes any difference) and have an '07 Aygo. Cheers peeps!

Tyres for your Aygo should be cheap as chips, just avoid all the usual Kwik Fit style places.

The guys toast's talking about are really good.

Also, if you go to National Tyres you can choose your tyres online before you get there, thus avoiding the usual Kwik Fit "you need xyz because we want more money" or breaking your windows.

You buy your tyres online and book a delivery day/time. Then the local chap comes out to you in his van, fits the tyres and goes away again. Dead easy and very cheap.

Their Glasgow chap is really, really good. If you phone him direct instead of using the website, he can get the tyres in stock even faster. PM me if you want the phone number.
