Look at what I found :) [ATTACH=CONFIG]82997[/ATTACH] I hadn't read your post phutumsch, but Don't assume it's all good under the tape Turned out to be top advice :thumbup: I hope that is it. I have had all the lights out, refreshed a load of connections and weather proofed them with self amalgamating tape. A lot of things that would no doubt have gone crack at some point down the line, now that is pushed further into the future.

Thanks mate, it certainly does. So when it was consistently displaying the fault. It was immediately popping the footwell 10Amp on the first position. It did it with the HIDs disconnected completely. But I think I will still get rid of them, "simplify and un-knacker" is my new motto.

I see, cheers Ian. This is a daunting fault, there have been quite a few additions and alterations to the standard (and already complicated) light system. Perhaps someone could tell me which diagram I should refer to in the service book. With daytine running lights With dim dip lights :blink: I think I have dim dip lights????

Easier question then, what does this button do on your car? Does it turn your tail lights on. For bonus points, do your tail lights get a bit brighter if you have that button pressed, as well as, your side lights on?

Long story short, my lights have been failing. They first did it a few days ago, with no input from me at all, sat at 70 on the motorway, I saw the blue high beam indication come on. All of my lights including tail lights were off apart from my high beams. Having made myself very familiar with the wiring diagrams over the last few days I know sort of why. It pops the 10 amp fuse in the footwell which means the black relay under the bonet can not be energised. To my understanding that relay is energised to inhibit the high beams, some sort of fail safe that leaves you with some lights. To my mind then, somewhere I have a short, that is before the lights but after the switch, it is like connecting the + to - across the battery and as it is pulling through that fuse it blows. I have done as many checks as I can, most things seem fine and I believe the problem to lie where it says "to clearance tail and illumination lamps" I have found a few uninsulated ends and covered them but the fault is now intermittent and it is making it very hard to trace. I would like to know what this is Mysterious black boot floor box. And finally my factory fog light switch on the pod, does not light any fog lights, but has the same effect as the first stage of the rotary light knob. It illuminates the tail lights number plate etc, and when combined with the rotary knob, lights everything but more brightly. Is this normal? Doesn't seem it to me! Any advice appreciated. Thank you guys :)

I think it's such a shame people being pulled apart by all this. Have you been to Scotland, it's bloody lovely!

My electrics went bonkers last night, my clock went off with the top right audio fuse.

Good man Tony, that's a better plan than scratch cards :lol: That's what "virtual internet friends" :wink: are for. I hope your run of luck improves Alan, I am sure it will. :) :clover:

^ ^ ^ ^ ^ With enough of the world's nations already squabbling, we do not need to fall out with our closest neighbour too. We are better together.

19s can as we have seen above look really nice, but if you get a 19 with 5 thin spokes or generally a bare design, they can leave your brakes looking a bit lost in the middle. Choose wisely :)

The ownership of the oil is an interesting point. The international law regarding minerals and natural resources states that they are the property of the finder. The United Kingdom, so in a week, their ownership will be split in a ratio of 70mil:7mil on population or whatever the population split is. It's not based on proximity to the beach. And the 10 percent that Scotland get they will not be able to insure! In my opinion, the vote yes campaign has been mostly based on passion, patriotism and emotion. Whereas the vote no has been more grounded in facts and figures. England will be better off in the near and distant future in the event of a yes vote. Scotland will be in a state of carnage in the near to mid future, perhaps better in the long run. But despite England being better off I hope we stay together, as I don't want to see Scotland, and more importantly it's British population endure difficult times for 30 years.

Welcome to the forum mate :thumbup1:

I had a google but it's nearer you than me I am afraid :(

Happy Birthday :thumbup1: :pint:
