I dont know if its just me but all those instructions got me going.

First thing I did was hit the door lock button, or had I already done it? So hit it again and locked the doors, so hit it again to undo it, by then I'm thinking this is looking bad. Next the lights, do I turn the engine on, or will they come on with the engine off.

Get out and look at the lights with the officer, yes its out o/s rear, any spare bulbs noooo, so I popped the boot, hit the rear of the light cluster and on it came.

After name address and age he waved us on our way.

Morale of the story, have a walk round the car and check your lights, I only do it for the MOT, but now will check on a monthly basis.
Happened to me that almost exactly the sods made me do the seven day present stuff.
