I haven't seen halogen headlamp bulbs for sale at either Aldi of Lidl for years (well pre-Covid). I particularly liked the Aldi ones as they were +90% and I'm down to my last pair of H7s.

Tesco are currently flogging 5 litre cans of RedEx Adblue for a Clubcard price of £6.45... Spotted when I went shopping this morning. Not sure if this is in all branches...

Does that make the car swear more?

It makes the car swear at adverts Mick In Polly's case, just like her owner...

I'm rather disappointed Adblue is not actually blue

Can't be bothered to wait for them to be in the Lidl Special Aisle? Well, some chancer on eBay has the tool for you!

Spoiler: show

HOW MUCH!?!

Me too! To the extent I don't understand what the name is supposed to mean!

(Cue: Google searching!)

Errrrrr

No clue as to the name but this caught my eye:

What is AdBlue fluid made of?
AdBlue is a non-toxic, non-flammable and odourless solution that contains 32.5% of high purity water and 67.5% of deionised water.

I presume one of those is Urea?? (Guessing the 32.5%) = yes other sites confirm this. No clues as to the meaning of the name other than "a German trademarked name for Diesel Exhaust Fluid DEF" that I can find!

From a DDG search this shows where the name comes from but not why!

In the international standard defining DEF (ISO 22241), it is referred to as AUS 32 (aqueous urea solution 32%).[5] DEF is also sold as AdBlue, a registered trademark of the German Association of the Automotive Industry.

Yes, I kept reading similar when I was searching, but I'm missing the "blue" bit of it, why blue?
