Credit where credit is due:

Walk in to the aforementioned garage in Dundee.

Me - 'Excuse me, I have come up form London, and am getting a 'multiple bulb fail message'

They have a look. Dipped head lights (1), and rear side light Sir.

Me - 'Please replace both headlight bulbs and the rear side light'

They do, in about 15 mins.

Me 'How much?'

Them '£9'

I fall over.

Bloody amazing but great news - Is it possible this is the start of a Non Rip Off Society in the motoring trade or in your case just a Fluke

V70 2.4 petrol - he said the bulbs are 3 quid each, didn't charge for the labour, he was just a nice guy I guess.
