1) My spotlights have stopped working, I've checked the fuse, its fine... the relay is also fine. The wiring was sorted at Nurburgring so it can't be that, plus it looks ok. Anything else?

2) Also my front left indicator has stopped working. Its not the bulb, tried three including the right hand indicator and it doesnt work. Odd thing though, is that the other indicator lights on the left are not effected/affected so I'm a bit lost.

How are they wired up? using grounding through the body work? As for the indicators take them out and trace the wiring - could well be a connection issue if theres any home made areas bounded up with electrical tape.

I had a front indicator stop working once, turned out to be a soldered connection in the back of the unit had broken

have you got a multimeter? they're handy for finding faults like these, so you can find where current is getting...

Both are probably earth problems. Check that your earth bullet hasn't come out again for the spots Dom, that's what it was at the Ring. It's near the heater air inlet. It's probably an earth fault for the indicator too, as said above you need a meter to check for continuity.

Thanks for your replies.

I haven't checked what you have said but will do once it stops raining.

The odd thing though is that my front left indicator is working again... perhaps it was just a one off glitch?

If its intermittent it generally means a dodgy connection to something, whether its the power or the earth.
