For anyone who thinks £13 for a bulb is excessive BT charged a pensioner £100 for visiting and changing batteries in his phone, although they claimed it should have been £136...

If you cant be arsed doing basic checks 1st, then you are agreeing to be charged. I argued away a £300 bill for an engineer visit because their install was faulty. If it had been my fault that the system wasnt working Ive got to accept the bill, because it would have been MY fault. Batteries arent even expensive, so why didn;t the old fart check them 1st?
More on-Topic. Headlight bulbs for my Veccy are about £3 at the local car spares shop, so I buy and fit them myself as its a 2 minute job. However the olf Renault 19 I had you couldnt change the headlight bulbs unless you pulled bits off. Took me nearly an hour to change the offside headlamp bulb because I had to remove most of the air intake system. Paying Halfrauds a few quid for that would have been worth it, and lets not start on having to take the bumper off to change the front fog lamp bulbs!
