Tamora fog / driving lights

[JonLane]

Newbie here... had my 2004 Tamora for a couple of weeks and realise that for the same price I would have been better off buying a TVR a few years ago rather than buying a house with my ex... they both cost the same and I suspect I would have had less problems with the car!

Or put simply... I've not stopped smiling since sitting in it.

A few MINOR niggles, but a small price to pay, and they will hopefully get resolved at the 1000 mile service.

One thing though which I am not sure if it is a fault of if it is by design... the front fog / driving lights only come on with headlights on fullbeam. When I turn the foglight dial on normal beam nothing happens except the rear foglight comes on. Surely you should be able to have front foglights on without fullbeam as fullbeam in fog is worse than driving with not lights at all.

Happy to stand corrected, and happy to live with if this is how it should be :-)

Hey Don... thanks for the reply... feel like one of the family now

My main query is around the front spots... however mine seems to work like yours (the first turn has no effect), but I would have expected the first turn would put the front spots on without needing fullbeam, now that they exist!

I can always talk to the garage, but I like to know the answer before asking the question (apart from on here of course!).

Jasper... great.. thank you. You describe what I expect should happen - I expected to be able to have my front fog/driving lights on when my headlights are on dipped, but can only have them on when headlights are on fullbeam. As you say.. seems pointless as you cant see a thing.

Added it to my list for the 1000 mile service... however doesnt matter how long the list is (not that long anyway)... its still worth it and I haven't been over 3500rpm yet!!!

Cheers

I do now suspect they are driving lights rather than fog lights... but will act dumb with the dealer when I take it in and see what they say.

Had a great day checking out all the postings.. thanks for all the feedback... beats working for a living ;-)

[JonLane]

Yep - just checked with the garage... they are driving lights rather than fog lights and are designed to work with fullbeam only. I can live with that!

Im already on the Tam Register... Maddog is adding a photo to my profile shortly.
