Headlamp sliders stiff as ever, with no grip on the slider bit, had a eureka moment. Now have a fantastic improvised tool to get the sliders lifted & lights out in a jiffy.

And this genius bit of improvisation is the handle off a £1 B&Q bucket. Works a treat.

Boot lace knotted for me, dosn't do any damage It can when others can't,
It will when others won't,
It goes where others don't.

One of the first things in the load lugga. Not my idea, as seen in CDS's car set up. Just got to find another bungee then bog rolls on the other side.
