Citroen Xsara lighting fault.

[paulathome]

A work mate of mine has a Citroen Xsara with an odd electrical fault.
When he turns on the head lights they sometimes come and sometimes they don't.
The fault appears to be fairly random.
The side lights work ok, the fault appears only on the head lights.
The car is a 1600, and I think it's a 2003/4.
Any thoughts gratefully received.
Cheers.
Paul.

HI mate these cars have complex wiring system (cambus system BSI) Its really got to go on a dianostic machine CITROEN ONLY OR A GOOD INDEPENTANT with the right gear I would think its the switch gear but when you put a new unit on it has to be programed in I am a citroen technician I would think it would be a 200+ pounds job

Thanks Kevin for the reply.
Bl**dy hell that's bit steep for a bit of a lighting problem.
Here's me thinking my TVR was expensive to run.
He also mentioned today that his fuel gauge has also started playing up.
I think he may be better off setting fire to it
I shall break the bad news to him tomorrow morning.
Thanks again.
Cheers
Paul.
