Why would the oil light be on dim (or just barely noticeable) whenever the lights are on?

A foreign truck flew past us on the other side of the road and i think something flew up and caused the bonnet to unhook and smash the screen. The wiper arms saved alot of the damage luckily! The scuttle is all torn and the wiper blades were bent in half. We managed to bend them almost flat to get us home :/ but the screens cracks are getting longer every time shes driven.

I think they scrapped the VOSA test. I believe you just take it for a MOT test. Could be wrong though.

Hi thanks for the reply Anthony much appreciated. Do you happen to know if once the car is repaired is the car going to cost more to insure as it is a cat C? Thanks Will.

I don't think so, IMO. The car will be worth much less than a non cat c car though, even if It's repaired to showroom standard. I know insurance companies have 'engine replacement' listed, but I don't know if it would alter the price. :/

Really want to get back into photography... Anyone know where to get good reconditioned cameras?

I have always had good service from London Camera Exchange. Go for a good quality but older DSLR such as Canon or Nikon & you'll have endless choice. There's branches all over the UK. https://www.lcegroup.co.uk/Secondhand-Search/

I know half the time to other motorists we're invisible on the road, but in a mini it's much worse!! Next mini will have huge spots and a very loud horn ;-)

Needed to patch the sills near the rear wheel arches, right underneath, a N/S/R stop light and a O/S/F wishbone.
