Intermittent Flashing Headlights

[Gedk33]

Hi all, I'm new here, so please go easy....

 

got a couple of niggles on my 51 plate 1.4 Xsara LX.

 

top of the list is that the headlights flash on and off intermittently, and not always during every drive, sometimes its ok. it's driving me nuts, and also is potetially dangerous. They sometimes switch on as soon as the car is started.... :blink:

 

2nd is the engine warning light and the Stop light. This only seems to flash when the car has been running and is idling or moving slowly. Fan kicks in and after a couple of mins all is ok again. temp is never greater than 90 degrees.

 

Any ideas on the above would be greatly recieved.

 

thanks!

Hullo!

 

Got the same two problems fine Sir! :blink:

 

Think I know the answer to your stop light fault at least..

As for the headlights, it's strange ain't it! lol :huh:

 

It's well bad because people could think you're letting them out & then pull out in front of you!

 

For this reason I've been turning my lights on at the beginning of every journey, just to be safe, because mine don't switch off once they're manually on.

 

If you get to the bottom of the faulty lights please post!

Cheers,

Matt
