Help - no lights
I'm on holiday in France and last came to drive home from the restaurant and noticed the lights on my Torslanda were not on. When turned to sidelights these worked as normal - sidelight headlights, sidelights, tail lights, but turn the dial to main and all go off. Any ideas before I go digging around looking at fuses and relays? Thanks Chris

OK, so there is a melted wire going into the relay so obviously that's the issue. My questions are 1 - why would the wire be getting so hot? and 2 - is there a work around if a simple clean up and retry doesn't work bearing in mind I'm away from all my spare and tools. Thanks.

I would take a look at the fuses, clean everything up, and then check the wiring behind each headlight to ensure you haven't got any cables shorting out.
