Iv got a 1.2 2003 still under warrenty, my automatic headlights stopped working last night. any1 had this problem? easy to fix?
Switch the ignition to setting one ie before you start the car but the lights on the dash still come on and turn the lights stalk fully on and off twice.
If you do it right youll hear a beep and the lights should be working again.
To check just put your hand over the sensor on the windscreen.
If that doesnt work then it will be covered under warently the light sensors have been known to break before.
i just tried it and doesnt seem to be working, will take a trip down to renault on tuesday,cheers guys
But do you really need them. I just find them a pain, you pull up under a garage forecourt, go under a bridge, etc. and they come on, you pull away and they stay on.
Ive never found it that hard to turn them on manually.
Same with the auto wipers, how hard is it to flick them on yourself. Is there any way to turn them off auto as when you put them to intermittent (sp) they just wipe when they want, not when i want.
Both just another gimmick, and something else to go wrong,IMO.
yeh headlights still work, just like them to come on auto as dont have to remember to turn them on. i think its good. i agree about the wipers though they never work at the right time

[/QUOTE]If you leave the wiper switch on the top position then it wont wipe at all the first section down just turns on the auto, the next down have them on constantly.I find the auto lights and wipers very good though.
So we dont have intermittant any more, as this should be at the first position down?
So what is the point of the ring around the stalk, as this should be to control the frequency of the wipes.
As for not having to remember to turn the light on
,should you really be driving a car if you dont know when to turn the lights onThe ring round the stalk determines the "sensitivity" of the sensor i.e in its lowest setting it will ignore small drizzle and in the fastest setting the slightest drop of water will make the wipers wipe. Although I find it annoying as it never wipes at the right time or its on the wrong sensitivity setting so you have to change the thing anyway!Quote: Originally posted by chris182 on 04 December 2004

Hi guys, just slightly off topic but can anyone explain why when you go to flash your lights when auto lights is chosen the fookers stay on thus blinding the oncoming driver!!
Its a pain in the a$$ hence why i switch auto headlights off.
Anyone know if theres a way round this tho?
Im just lazy dont like having to do work even as little as switching the lights on.Quote: Originally posted by chris182 on 04 December 2004

You could pull the wires on the two sensors for the lights and wipers if you wanted.
