Probably similar to the C5, H4 for dip and fog, H1 for main.

I do Mick so that's exactly what I did. Bosch from Amazon... And in the C3 Picasso, very easy to fit. Pop off a rubber cap on the back of the headlight
unit. and pop the bulb out complete with its holder. 5 minutes work from start to end :D

Oh, all those comments are a bit harsh :twisted: Thing is, there's a lot of it that's absolutely brilliant and well thought-out... I've yet to find anything about it that can remotely be described as 'rubbish' so you lot - wind your necks in :wink: :twisted:

The 'Picasso' MPV concept was bloody excellent :-D

Polly's been a van today...
20231114_104459.jpg
Collecting a great auction haul of attic floorboards and loft insulation ready for my next project...

Polly has once again shown what a brilliantly adaptable and useful little car she is :) Never knock a Picasso - they're brilliant :D

There's 84 square feet of boarding there. That should be enough, given half the attic is already boarded...

The price paid was an absolute steal, such is the brilliance of a good auction result...

Also won at the auction was a mighty big battery screwdriver/hammer drill... A gamble as there was no guarantee it or its batteries were any good.

They seem to be :) And, just what I need for doing the attic flooring...
