Hello again, just a quicky if anyone can help. I'm having the following problems:
Main Beam and Full Beam do not work.
Flash works, ie full beam flash,
Rear Fog light does not work anymore
Has anyone else experienced these probs? I have checked the fuse box but nothing has blown, is there a relay anywhere that could cause this? Or maybe a bad earth?
A different problem is also a drain on the battery overnight, this may be related if I have a poor earth but maybe not.
Anyone else experienced this?

i had something similar mate on my 200............it turned out to be the contacts on the stalk switch..... i took it all apart and found they had been getting hot....a good clean and sort out and they were working again :D
worth a look

Excellent thanks matey, I'll pull her apart tonight when I get home :dance:
-
I've now put relays on my headlights for both high and low beams because of the problems with the contacts on the stalk switch getting hot and sometimes melting.
-
May be to late for you now Andi but i think it's the stalk as i had the same problem on one of my 200's.
-
i also had the same prob. was a broken wire on my indicator stalk. did you get it fixed? :)

ITS A COMMON PROBLEM MATE , ANOther of mine has just gone u/s, i dont bother messing about landrover £80 for a switch problem solvedforever!
or BRITPART do one probably for a quid, but probably need one every fortnight.
-
Probably best to fit relays to the headlights, they'l be brighter too.

Hi matey, I was just anout to post the same question...This has just happend to me now...I have sidelights, and I think a dim normal beam...I can use the flasher unit ok, but when I put the stalk forward to main beam, nothing happens..I have checked all the fuses and can not find a relay...Any ideas or do you think its the stalk....They were working fine yesterday, then I stopped off to get some diesel and when I put the lights on again, I only had side lights.....
Please help.

Just an update fellas, I removed the steering wheel today, and the plastic surrond, checked the lighting stalk and guess what...There was a broken wire on it, it had come unsoldered from the contact...So off I went to B & Q and £14 later I have a new soldering iron and jobs a good un...I have lights again...Thanks peeps.
