Re: F25 Headlamp issue
This has raised its ugly and probably expensive head again. I dont think its the bulbs because whilst driving to Penmachno for the Cambrian rally last Friday night both my passenger and I thought that the light distribution was much to high. There is an obvious cut off for both lights and they do ...

Re: F25 Headlamp issue
Thank you. I may well upgrade but stick with 35w bulbs because taking the ballast thing out looks a bit onerous. On Monday I will get a quick diagnostic done just to be sure

Re: F25 Headlamp issue
As far as I am aware the battery is fine. Never had a high drainage warning even when I have been messing around with things on the car. Next Monday my independent garage opens so I will call him and see if he can check for error codes. As a matter of interest is it safe to upgrade the bulbs in ...

Re: F25 Headlamp issue
I am sure that mine were much brighter and with a white light only a few days ago and I seem to remember the flash not fading back so much. Looks as though I will have to fork out for some new bulbs and hope that fixes the problem because the ballast module looks difficult to get at and might need ...

Re: F25 Headlamp issue
Ok thank you I have just started it up and the lights certainly moved to self adjust but the light given off is very yellow and not bright at all. There is a definate cut off against the garage door and the adaptive part is working when I put the lights onto auto dip mode. When the wheel is turned ...

Re: F25 Headlamp issue
Thank you. I am beginning to question my sanity now because I read elsewhere that the inboard halo lights are just that and dont have the dipped beam. When it goes darker I will do as you suggest and try the lights against the garage door and then come back on here with the outcome. They were ...

Re: F25 Headlamp issue
Thank you. There is definitely something amiss because the lights are no where near as bright as they were and when I switch them off and back on again they are momentarily as bright as they were.
I dont think that the dipped beams are working at all

F25 Headlamp issue
Something very strange happened tonight. Took my car out after dark and I thought that the dipped beam was poor so I pulled over and switched the lights off and then back on again. During this process the lights were momentarily bright and then went off again. I think that the main beams are working ...

Re: F25 Towbar fitting - Glasgow
I had a Wesfalia detachable bar fitted to mine a few months ago but got it done locally. I would however suggest PF Jones but if its a detachable just be aware that they will have to cut out a small piece of the rear under tray. You wont be able to notice it though and the bar is a really nice piece ...

F25 2013 X335 DSport rear pads
Hello. I have just joined the forum and I wonder if anyone can give me some information on replacing the rear pads on my car. I have access to stands and a trolley jack etc so is this an easy task and how difficult is it to replace the sensors and do they need logging into the car's magic box
