Re: under-bonnet lighting Have a nice round battery led light with a magnet on the back... normally lives on the head rail resting on the mirror - only falls off when off roading. Very handy under the bonnet as well, also can be shone out the back when reversing. Don't run the car's battery down either...

Re: under-bonnet lighting Awesome torch tongue response ........I mean: nawesomg norch nongue nresponse.......I think its a dying language in these days of paying halfords to fit a wiper blade....!!!  As for the LED light, great idea too...i have used them as glove box lighting before.

Re: under-bonnet lighting I phone the RAC and let them deal with it. If its dark, cold, wet and doesn't work then bollocks to it.

Re: under-bonnet lighting Yes,I am the type of sad git who works on the engine in the dark, not lucky enough to have a proper lit garage either.....but the main reason I like the idea of a under bonnet light is that its there when you need it, if you need it......when I had it on the Volvo it proved handy....
