Going back to the light swtich issue... is the reason the wires tend to short because of the heat given off by the two bulbs inside the switch itself? Or is it the amount of voltage passing through that one particular brown wire, in which case would it not be better to locate the fuse closer to the other end of the cable rather than right next to the switch? Over the weekend I took the switch apart and replaced the two bulbs with 12V LEDs. It was a fiddley job but as a result the switch no longer gets hot, but should i still worry about this short circuiting issue?

I've just picked up a Corrado this week. I noticed yesterday that the headlight switch was warm/hot to touch so im guessing this is why. Thankyou for this post. My last car, a Mini Cooper Sport (old school but cool), fell victim to an electrical short behind the dash resulting in not only a scary drive to work but also a complete write-off. Now i know what im upto tomorrow! Maplins here we come! ---------- Post added at 02:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:48 PM ---------- My ABS light has also come on. Started intermittently but now seems a more permenant feature. Is this related?

good work, cheers all for the info. Bently book is in the post.

hi there, i have recently purchased myself a beautiful 96 reg VR6. I would like to keep it in the fantistic conditon it's in and I know in order to do so im gonna need to work on it every so often. I have found the the Bently manual as previously mentioned but just wondered whether there's any difference between the 90 - 94 model it covers and the 1996 model I just bought. Any ideas? Im assuming it'll be very simular but want to be sure before I shell out £70ish quid for it. Are there any other manuals worth looking at?
