After delicately highlighting that my Wiper motor is on its way out by blowing a fuse during a down pour on the M40... If anyone spotted a silver Cerb diligently following a lorry northbound on the M40, it's because I could just about to see brake lights.

Anyway, my headlights have now failed. Or rather just the high beam, side works as does full beam but no Dip.

Having a look at the ECU's, the Dim/Dip ECU has a scorch mark on one connector ( on the orange relay side ). Now my question is, would that perhaps be causing the main beam to fail or would that be down to the lights switching unit? ( Which looks fine ).

Been quoted £60-£70 and a week for turnaround. I could crack out the soldering iron, but i would be doing "Tracey 7/5/97" & "Karen 24/4/97" a disservice with my crappy soldering.. : )

In fairness i have no way of testing other than with the car, and as i'm shortly getting a HID upgrade rather it was done & tested properly in case something goes wrong with that install.

Yup, the plug is shot so will get a replacement plug and fit that once they come back. Nothing like a small fire above the petrol tank. : )
