    Default Parking light, check left

    I am sick of this... The brake light check left keeps popping up too. The cluster isnt a good one as 3 need replacing. (estate bulb holder that attach to cluster) but main issue is the parcking light check left is at front and i dont see the issue. Any advice??

    First thing to do is try changing the bulbs as they go high resistance when they get older and it's enough to trigger the bulb warning, even if they're still working, they may not for long.

    However, the problem I had with my estate doing this, was that the connections in the rear clusters had corroded just at the points the bulbs touched and had worn away. I fixed this "temporarily" months and months ago, but adding a small strip of metal inside the connector that touched the bulb further round and made a good connection with the holder where it wasn't corroded. You can buy replacement inners for the clusters without having to buy the whole light unit though which is what I will do eventually.
