Vibration and poor connections kill bulbs.

So fix the adjusters (£12 a side) and clean up any connectors.  The problem won't go away until you do.

Tunnie, I've heard that quick driving lengthens the life of bulbs  ::)

I don't think I've ever blown a headlight or full beam bulb on any Omega. Maybe there is something in that...

...except neither has Mrs TB, and she drives almost as slowly as the tunster...

Tunnie, get the adjusters, Mrs TB and I will help changing them.

They may will need retweaking at MOT time, but monkeynuts normally does that anyway

Ordinarily, there might have been a thankyou I'm sure, but no, "Tunniepoo's" is off. ;D
Maybe keep your affections to pm next time. :o or be a bit discreet at least. ;)

This is a family site, apparently. :-\ ;D
