    Default Lights Flickering

    When I put my headlights on, every so often they seem to flicker. If I put the interior lights on as well, they do too.

    It seems to happen more if you rev it.

    Is this normal or is there something on its way out alternator wise?

    does it happen when you turn the steering while stationary... if so this is normal, the pas is electronic & does sap a lot of power... there's plenty of old threads covering this issue

    Thinking about it, it could be when turning the steering. Will check it tomorrow night and book it in with VX if not.

    Cheers guys.
