'04 plate clio
« on: 06 January 2012, 19:51 »
A slight issue with the missus' Clio, apart from the fact that it's a Clio. You start it up and the lights seem to fade, come back to normal, perhaps a little flicker, fade then back to normal. It does this only on start up, ie once you've driven a mile or 2 is stops...Any rough ideas?

if the headlights are in anyway faulty, irrespective of whether the issue lies with the headlights or not, then yes you could have troubles through an MOT - Surely you have some £50 MOT testers round your way ?
