Lights out
I lost my headlights and sidelights whilst driving at the weekend. I have a vague recollection of a well known fault with the indicator stalk or similar? Any suggestions?

Thanks

Paul

Yup, light switch on column burn out. Common 'feature'.

But I then flashed the main beam and it worked, wiggled the light on/off switch a few times and it all came back. Most peculiar....

^^^ Yes, thats the famous feature... Headlight switch melted, replace stalk and fit a relay loom. More info here... Cheers, Vincent
