bar connection was un understatement, Not sure how other shops do it, but please take the time
to have a look. If your trailer lights are playing up chances are a scotch lok has failed.
I noticed in the parts bag of my ARB compressor it had a couple of scotch locks in it... lol

Not good mate. There are lots of good ARB stores around but they are very rare. One of the reasons I went with TJM for my gear.
Hope it doesn't effect your hippocket

Nah definitely not and the owner was good about it, he had no idea and is sorting it out for me. They are a good store, one of the blokes just had a brain fart I think.
