Oliver;

Thanks for the info! Interesting! I didn't know the factory installed that feature for US delivered cars (are you certain this wasn't retrofitted by a PO?). I guess that means you still have a foot switch for hi/lo beam control, right?

I seem to recall that thread about the tach loosing power during headlight flashing...I must have written it then, but it STILL sure sounds like the symptoms of a high voltage-drop, under load of the relay coil, caused the tach problem...are you sure it is a "bad" relay, and not the Lucas curse of the poor fuseblock design, in action (as described in: http://www.intelab.com/swem/gastight_II.htm under Symptoms)? I want to reread that thread...do you recall when it was posted or better yet, have the URL?

Thanks for the kind words to the site.

Regarding selling your car....you'll be sooorrryyy!!!

Cheers
