Technical full beam don't work

[dave]

got no full beam, i flashed a lorry out yesterday and full beam light came on the dash an stayed on, i turned ignition off and re stated car and it went out, but now full beam no longer works nor does the light on dash.

Here's a number of docs that might help

I didn't get a warning from the car when my full beam bulb blew, and I believe they're linked - I'd check both bulbs for continuity if you haven't done so already, also see if they're getting power.

its my stalks i think i indicate right and indicator dont stay on, then full beam comes on

 

[dave]

had a look on ebay and if i had a vectra I'd be able to get all the stalks seperate, but thats one bit that isnt the same for us. FF eper is listing it as £1.33 + vat and that's years out of date so may be more have emailed the guy breaking one on ebay but dont know if he will have it, every thing else ive asked him for has already been sold.

 

[dave]

bloke on ebay wants £100 +15 postage :bang:

There are two people on ebay breaking Cromas, one seems a bit more realistic with his pricing than the other. Keep looking

 

[dave]

that price is from bloke with the silver one. bloke with the red doors hasnt got one

B*gger.

Tried using Parts Search (or similar)?

There's a guy in Germany will ship one for €116 all in (that's £101), but he will take offers.

I also found someone selling new alternators for €79 plus €12 shipping.

i took mine off and it rattled if i turned it upside down stalk would stay parked for both directions , inside a bit of plastic had broke off the end and a metal rod was out of place, i put rod back and stalks seemed to act normal when i put it back together, so fitted it to the car, now i have no full beam an no indicators at all

Use hand signals and confuse 95% of all other motorists who haven't got a clue what they mean. You will need gloves for the winter too.

i was thinking of just going scrappy and getting some bmw badges to stick on, wont need indicators then and can use fog lights all the time too :idea:

 

[dave]

ive got my indicators back a little slider wasn't in the right place, now my washers are stuck on, taking it to bits again

 

[dave]

thats all fixed now apart from full beam, i can live with out that until a cheap fix comes up.

but now esp warning light and message is on

 

[Radlet6]

And I thought it was just me that these things happened to.

E.g within 4 weeks I had the following:

Fix Sceicento thermostat and water pump fails
Fix water pump and radiator fails
Fix radiator and head gasket fails
Fix head gasket and sell car.
