Personally, as I'm in the throes of planning my journey for next week, I've found this thread to be probably the most useful one I've read thus far on here!

Anyone know of a spare bulb kit that's all-in-1 for the MK3 Octy VRS or is it a case of curating your own?

I'm with Mannyo. This thread should really be with the other travel/driving stuff in General Car Chat.

I get the impression that many Briskodians only look in the forum for their own car.

I only look in here occasionally more with a view to my next swap. There are a few old names, but many are new to me. New car, new forum and faces.

If folk only ever use one forum, then I guess threads like this are going to keep on happening. My personal choice would be not to have so many compartments, I think it can be come divisive as per the "Air Bag Scandal" a while back.

A quick scan through most model fora shows they have a %age of non model specific threads and posts. Its going to happen, like off topic comments or thread drift.

Glad you found the contributors comments useful.
