couple of weeks ago came out of pub in town to find lights smashed on car, good feeling who did it like, got them sorted, and now have dodgy conectors in lights so bulbs keep refusing to work, catalytic convertor has gone (£192 to fix  ) bulbs on my dash have suddenly stopped working (no idea why  ) and when i had car in garage yesterday, they told me that the last garage who fitted my wheels have put different sized tyres on all four wheels!
