    Falmouth,Cornwall last night.
    Not many dramas I couldnt handle!
    We got down there Thursday early eve,took us just 4 hours, but lost just over a pint of oil on the way!
    :eek:, due to a dynamo pedastool bolt becoming loose!

    Tightened that up and all fine.


    Coming home,we stopped in a layby for a pee break.(like you do)...and the van wouldnt start...Had a look and a wire had shaken off of the coil,so got that sorted and off we went...Then the full beam went.:eek: (again)...Think it may be the headlight relay.
    Bloody old vehicles. ;)
    Still...good for 70 mph on the way home.

    Oh,3 kids,wee breaks,bank holiday weekend traffic...
     
  5. Not bad going to get home in that time,it's a good hour fr you when you get off the motorway.

    Check the pigtails that gonnect onto the headlight bulbs could be the connectors are loose. Mine was that full beam kept on disapearing. I bought 2 new ones and all works fine now.
     
  6. Frome not to far then . And not many problems to good stuff.

    I think it may be the relay,as if i pull the flash lever up,both full beams work,but not if i switch to full beam,if you see what i mean...
