Thanks guys, yes mine is F reg, but no life from flaps on dipped or sidelights. But I think Jim's suggestion seems to work. I have managed to stop the flaps moving on full beam, so it is just a matter of working through the connections on what seems to be a fairly corroded component. Unfortunately the builder seems to have chosen red cable for every connection, so cable tracing is now a matter of hit and miss, but at least I'm going in the right direction. I have a blog, but I am very tardy in updating it. I will post an update soon. This is the blog, with some photos http://electric-car.blog.co.uk/. Batteries and charger now in and car drives. Brakes need to be bled, but hoping for a test run in May. Thanks again for your input Andrew
