I replaced the bulb on my mini because it stopped working but it still isnt working so I suspect the headlight unit is bust. Where is the best place to look for one as I was just quoted Ã,£200 !!
Scrap Yard?
If you changed the bulb, then changing the headlight isnt going to make it work.
Have you checked the fuses?
Use a multimeter and check if there is actually power reaching the headlight unit and bulb holder. You may have a broken wire or link somewhere.
Normally these things are easy to fix anyway and you shouldnt need a new unit.
Like everybody else said, try a different bulb, clean contacts, check fuse, then use a meter. A dodgy HL unit is probably the least likely culprit. Usually its squirrels.
Ive got a feeling its one of those replica minis that have been doing the rounds.
Yes its a proper mini not a banger. I need to get someone car minded to take a look. Alan you about ;)

its probably just something daft I can fix pretty quick.... no way will it be the actually headlight (unless its actually a horse)

Dunno Alan will know. He lives in this rough area called Boldon.
Thats because it used to be a colliery and your girly Maggie shut it down with the other pits :P
You mean because the Miners were lazy and wanted a year off ?

No not really. But they were stupid.
Is this a common problem? I saw a mini this evening with its left hand side headlamps out. Both dimmed and sidelight.
its BMWs "Designers" replicating every minor detail of the real mini, all the way down to electrical problems
Who needs alan and his expensive beefeaters. Fixed it myself now :)
