Hi

Just a quick confirmation please.

My headlamp main beam switch, to the right of the steering wheel, is also a headlamp ‘flash’ when the lights are off?

Mine only works when lights are turned on.

Just thought I would double-check before starting to seek the fault.

Thanks
Ash

Hi Ash...instructions are in the small buff Operating, Maintenance & Service Handbook....the headlamps can be flashed when the lights are off or when in the dipped beam position...but will not flash in the main beam position....Steve https://www.brooklandsbooks.co.uk/produ ... -handbook/

Ash, don’t you get headlight flash by pulling the indicator switch towards you? I’ve never regarded the main/dip switch as a way to flash the headlights, except by flicking it up/down when the headlamps are on. Which is clumsy, at least imho, but everyone to their own.

Goodness, I never knew that Geoff.

I shall try when next at the workshop.

After all, the car has only been in the family 51 years and 34 with me. Clearly still lots to learn!!!

Cheers

Thank you Geoff.

My headlamps flash is, as you state, on my indicator stalk.

Every day is a school day!
