Picked up my 1st Disco yesterday, cool. :)

Lights worked fine till yesterday evening when sitting in Tesco carpark, the blue high beam light came on, on the dash and the lights went onto side lights only? :confused:

This morning hey all ok. :)

Tonight on my way out, (after the missus took 2hrs to get ready,) guess what, NO lights, again only side. :mad:

Can anyone please sugest where I can start looking tomorrow. Before my wench castrates me.:eek:
 
OK will do, Thanks for the advice, think my wench will still try to castrate me, especially when I tell her I've got to spend more of my money. :D
 
The problem will most likely be the conector on the back of the headlamp bulb has melted and is shorting and/or just not making any connections. Replace em and u'll be sorted. You can usually get the lights to work by having a fiddle about with them but it won't last just stick a couple of new ones on.

Doesn't usually take both of em out at the exact same time though.
 
I agree with Pikey, mind you, if the dipped wire has shorted to ground, it might have blown a fuse. The connectors are easily available from Halfrauds or similar.
 
i had the same prob i had high beam but only when i flashed and only sides i replaced the stalk but it wasnt that it was the dim dip relay, mine is a disco 1 200tdi 1993 as well and my relay was in the side pannel drivers side (right) foot well

u can change the same sort of relay to check this as this is wat i did !!!

if that helps !!! as this had me lookin and got me stresed out for a week lol

good look
