    Seat Altea XL

    Straw Poll.

    Hi Cris I appreciate your comments but feel you need correcting on several points: 1. People who abuse children are not always gay 2. My wife and I adopted our daughter and we are in our mid 40's age; the only affects age has on adoption is consider the losses these children have already...

    Straw Poll.

    Light touch paper and retire to a safe distance. First the comment about children are the product of man and woman, so I wonder why hetrosexual couples adopt? On this basis if it's because they can't have children, then there must be something wrong with them and therefore should they really be...

Because wiring for a towbar is usually wired to the rear light cluster, when the lights are switched on the drain of power trick the sensor into thinking the bulb has gone so reduce the power to prevent other bulbs blowing...
