Poxy Hesitation and Poxy O/S xenon
Today I used the D3 for the 1st time in 2 weeks, and thought it was a little sluggish, noticed a bong and thought it was informing me on the temperature outside. A few more miles down the road and the slugishness got to me, and noticed the "i" on the dash, scrolled through and the warning was Engine Management. So I turned it off, restarted and all is well
The other problem I have been having is the O/S xenon, it flickers when I turn the D3 off and when the follow me home lights come on, and today though I decided to turn the lights off AUTO and do it manually, only for it to flicker again.
Any ideas on the Xenon fault.

Are you sure you are not blinking when you turn the switch off In the Beginning there was nothing, which exploded.

, its just doing my head in Andrew, I am off to see Nick tomorrow and might ask whilst there. I have checked the connections, checked the switch and its doing my head in. Its now escalated to doing it when the switch is on AUTO and whilst driving.
Canny wait till warrenty is out so the poxy butterfly and EGR's can go too, noticed alot of hestitation too, maybe I need to use it more. Got it in April, only 3100 miles done approx

We still have a twitchy headlight, which sometimes sticks on high beam. SWMBO took it to the dealer and ... guess what? No twitch or stuck high beam. They nodded respectfully, waved a screwdriver under the bonnet and sent her on her way. I'll be driving it regularly over the holiday, and see how it gets on.

Are they factory fit or 'owner fit' Xenons? the factory fit ones don't do this, many 'owner fit' ones do...

TFC, yes, they're factory fit.
Hassle, yes, I guess that it's a faulty shutter, but I'm no vehicle electrician.

I would look at obvious things then such as earthing of the switching cable or replacing the switch
