Now that's its dark....

[fairclp]

OK, it’s been like this for a while now and its more noticeable now its getting dark early.

Every so often when driving with dipped beam on, I can see my headlights flick off and on, very, very quickly. I can also hear a relay click. I'm also sure the ventilation fan clicks off and on as well at the same time.

Any thoughts?

The same happens on mine.
Seems like the whole electrics are going to cut out, and then within a slit second are back to normal and fine again.
A little worrying when it first happened, as you are expecting the worst.
Was going to mention it to the dealer next time I go in.

Have you got your T350 now or is it happening on the Tam?

TADTS. Mine has done this occasionally since I’ve had it. I did speak to my dealer about it almost 2 years ago but they couldn't find anything wrong. It happens so quickly that it’s not a problem, and you almost wouldn’t notice if it wasn’t for the slight clicking sound. I don’t worry about it anymore, but I’d be interested to hear if you do come up with a reason/solution.

Same thing also happens with my T350 too.

Whilst we're talking about headlights, has anyone upgraded to Xenons on the T350?

Thinking of having it done on mine and wondered if anyone had experience of this and if it made a massive difference.

I'm glad you're all having this too - I thought it was my imagination!

My headlights do flicker for a split second - it is hard to even notice it happening. On a run down the M40 in the dark it probably did it 4 times in 100 miles so not that often and it's so short a 'dip' that the lights don't even go dim, I just notice a slight flicker. I don't get any problems with the rest of the electrics, and I don't hear a click.

Anyone else blinding the oncoming traffic? My dealer adjusted the beams down but they still need to go down further.

Silverstone TVR do a Xenon conversion for the T350 I think. Personally the lights are good enough for me.

I wonder if it’s the radiator fan kicking in and out. Didn’t notice it on the short spin to the local shops tonight (via a 5 mile detour to get the temp up... LOL)

This use to happen with my Tuscan and I seem to remember it had something to do with the fans turning on and off.

I thought it could be the fans the first time it happened but it definitely isn't on mine. It just seems to do it randomly.
