Hi guys. I have a drivers side headlight not opening. It’s trying to open and is flipping the headlight up. But it’s not staying up. When I switch lights off it staying on for 3 or 4 seconds longer than the head light in passengers side that is working. They drivers side tension seems to be loose but it’s as if it’s not threading to tension mechanism. Any ideas? Thanks

Hi Sailorbob how are you? I loosened a hose beside my starter to gain access to starter. I started the car for a few seconds when I got stater working but hadn’t the hose connected. I now the hose connected and starting cold the car rises rpm with in 30seconds or so. All other cables seem to be fine. Would the car eventually clear the intake from the hose that I had disconnected or what would I do to rectify. Really appreciate help here guys

Hi Guys , My Esprits Battery was low, it started ok but I noticed the lights being dimmer than normal. I took car to the end of the drive way and it stopped. I tried to start but I was getting a click click clicking noise. I pushed car back to my garage and change over a brand new battery. There is a click when I turn the key. The click noise is coming from a unit fixed on the drivers side (UK car) in the upper rear panel. My lights and radio etc all work so im pretty sure its not a battery connection. Any thoughts? Thanks Guys Robert
