Can anyone direct me to location of high/low relays for headlights plse.
Got low beam but push button and lights go off rather than high beam. All other lights fine. Suspect relay or wire at bulb contact?

No relay as standard. If neither are working then your switch is probably knackered. Hi and lo beam are fed from the same power feed too. Feed from dash switch goes to floor switch which is then changed between hi and lo beam. Pretty simple :)

I changed mine earlier this year.. Not too tough. Bit of a fiddle because of the location, but pretty easy as only held in by 2 small bolts and a 3 pin connector..

Think it cost £25 ish from Old Car World, who had it in stock too.

Fixed fault. Was not switch but bad connection from plug to back of bulb connector. Cleaned up all contacts n tested good with fluke.
Put back together n all good. But what a pain getting switch out cos bolt partly blocked by trim. Long nose pliers in the end helped.
Cheers for pointers guys would of been searching for relays otherwise.

Excellent, pleased you found the fault.. These old cars do have the odd dodgy connection... :D
