Mostly car stuff

Gone a bit mad with the car stuff this week, bought an impact driver, which will be handy when brake disc retaining screws get stuck. I chose the Halfords impact driver over the draper from amazon because of the lifetime warranty ( for some reason the receipt must be kept ) and comes with more impact bits.

Cleaned up my cars headlights, the headlights were rough feeling, dull, and had yellowed, although the pictures do not show the yellowing well. I used the 3M Headlight kit, found a coating called opti-lens which seems to be a permanent solution to UV damage on plastic headlights.

There were a few reviews of the 3M kit not coming with enough tape which you do have to double up on however there was more than enough so much so I didn't even need the roll purchased separately.

The results have been good, driving at night the beam cut off is now visible, brighter and whiter, which will be handy on the unlit country roads of which there are a lot locally.

Computing this week has mostly been plural site, .net code reviews being quite useful and can now make some suggestions at work. 

I want to start to use more of short cuts and code snippets so a list of those which make sense to me will be put up next time.
