A spot of light relief
Job: Changing a bulb
Difficulty: *
Save: £35

A blown bulb can land you with a fine and points on your licence, so it’s good to know how to change one. If you take your car to a garage to have it done, you could face a bill for half an hour’s labour when a simple plastic or wire clip is often all that holds the bulb in place. You should find instructions for how to make the swap in your car’s owner handbook.
