Default Is it me?

From the 70's to now I have owned a variety of 2,7 and 9 series cars. It has been my experience that the Belgian built cars are put together better and are less prone to niggling problems,especially with the electrics. Anyone else noticed this?

my current 740 is belgium built and the only problem it has is the weird bulb blown relay..no bulbs are blown!! I swap any in pairs and to be honest not had any blow in months ....rust here and there as you get in the weaker areas of the 740....but i put that down to the previous owners not looking after the car as they should. All out brilliant car that will run forever!

Would be worth checking This topic (and the few others on the subject). Current drawn from your existing bulbs does not match, hence you get a warning. More than likely it is either a cheap bulb or a poor contact somewhere.
