An issue has just cropped up with my X-type.

One of my dip beams (I think the inner of the four headlights are dipped beam/high beam) is not working at all and the other is just flickering.

If i switch to high beam, both are working fine. I have just swapped the flickering bulb for a new one and the problem persists so i guess i can rule out a bulb issue.

Any idea's what to check next?

The outer headlights are working fine.

Thought i would bump this and add something new.

I seem to be having a few other issues which could be electrical..

my windscreen washer pump is just giving me a little squirt, rather than a decent stream.

The other day i had to use my key fob to unlock the doors from the inside as the interior handle would not unlock the drivers door.

I am starting to think i could be suffering from a battery/alternator issue but would be interested in opinions from those with a clue smile
