    Nope, to do a headlight bulb on a corsa C you have to remove half of the front end.

    edit: Actually autodata says 40 mins, sure it was longer than that on one specific model.

    I've watched a Halfords employee poke around it for half hour before giving up and going back inside, most entertaining half hour I ever had working the trade counter at Wickes on a Sunday (As you can imagine, trade gets pretty pointlessly quiet on a Sunday)

    We had a customer in once at work, hed been to halfords for a sidelight bulb fitting to his corsa c, he said that halfords had a list of what models they could fit bulbs to while he waited and it wasnt on so he brought it to us.

    Trade desk is another till at the end of the store where all the cement and plasterboard is, that's about all it actually means

    Because it has trade desk above it, none of the general public actually use it and all use the other end of the store, no traders working on a sunday means I basically sit on my ass and watch the clock count down to home time, it's actually so mind meltingly dull that it's torture to go through but by the end of the day it feels like you've been there for 15 minutes as sod all has actually happened.
