Afternoon all

Dont really post in here, but need some advice / assistance please.

OH has a 52 Cooper S with Zenons and the drivers side headlight and dipped beam have stopped working.

Have checked all the fuses I can find (passenger side footwell and under the bonnet) and nothing I can see.

Zenon motor makes a slighty strange noise when leveling (more a grinding noise than the usual electrical adjusting noise)

Other handy thing is the OH has only just remembered she has her MOT running out on Wednesday next week, so really need to get it sorted asap

Thanks in advance

One of my headlights stopped working a week after I bought a cooper s, you may need a new headlight as they are sealed units and commonly fail. I was told £800 to supply and fit but I got mini down to £300 which had a goodwill approved from head office. Check out mini2
forum for assistance as you can swap the bulbs/ballast units first to see if it's them which are broken.
