'Tis in dry dock as we speak, having its brains investigated. Later... Nothing specific. May even have been caused by errant signals from equipment nearby, or a loose connection to something central which got touched upon investigation. No doubt, we'll know if it recurs.

Headlights flashing initially,then just on permanently. No power to central locking or windows. Car driving OK and not immobilised. Indicators working but no solenoid sound inside car. The above message appears on the message centre. No fuses out. What the hell can it be this time!? Anyone...

Interesting. I'll have them check it out at MoT I guess. If you don't mind my asking, roughly how much did it cost? I haven't really established a pattern with this, but the cold air does seem to flow more readily when the book symbol is on. Does it just take a while to get really cold anyway...

Just had my 4.6 HSE regassed. Just before it was due in, the testbook symbol appeared for the first time ever. It reset and disappeared OK upon stopping and restarting the car. Now, it's been regassed. Garage said there were no leaks at all and nothing to indicate a problem having been logged...

Thanks again, ian24895. Got the parcel the other day. Have PMed and mailed to try and reimburse you for your trouble. Do let me know if none of these have reached you... :)

That's very kind of you - just mailed you as requested. Many thanks! TR

Anyone know where I can order a couple of these bolts please? I haven't got the exact measurement handy, but they're dome-headed, 5mm thread diameter and take a 3mm Allen key in the top. I'm missing a couple of them on the rear lamp guards. Any tips? Thanks!

It was indeed an earth problem, as you both pointed out. Went along to get the headlight beams aligned today and whilst there, picked the engineer's brains a bit. He found the dodgy earth and I went home and fixed it. Specifically, it was a bit of bodged earth wire with a filthy and delapidated...

OK, will check that too. Why would it spontaneously resolve though?

Ah, that's interesting. Thank you - I'll check that out.

O/s headlight was acting up today (H reg 90): 1. Dipped - very dim or non-existent (some continuous illumination of front o/s winkers). 2. Full-beam - brought on the front o/s winkers (continuously and dimly) and dimmed the front o/s side light. Corrected itself after a bit and hasn't...

Yes. 5W aren't they? Even so, the holders don't seem to fit any bulb I've laid my hands on, including the ones taken from the old holders on the vehicle. It seems all to be down to the slot sizes in the plastic holders. Pattern parts...

Yes - them. Nothing on E-bay, but there is Land-Rover-Parts-Shop.com - anyone know if their parts are pattern or close to originals?

Worse than that, Jim, the bulbs which were with the "original" fittings (and these bulbs are identical to the new ones I have) don't go in either. The bulb holders are RTC5012 from Paddocks. Definitely the right ones, according to their website.

Greetings one and all - my first post. I've had a search through for threads on this and not yet found any, but I'll be brief in case I've missed it. Got a boatload of spare light fittings for my 90 County and started putting them in. Only trouble is the grooves in the plastic bulb holders...
