Aww smaky don't. It's strange how the modern cars are,i've had alfa's for around 27 years and although they're more reliable in general there's more stupid niggly things that go wrong nowadays which the average home mechanic can't fix.To be honest i'd rather go back to the hammer and chisel days where i could do almost anything to repair my cars,oh and they were so much easier to work on,you didn't have to spend 3 hrs removing parts to change a fan belt. Anyway got my grumpy night shift head on,here ends my rant. Cheers guys Shug

Hi All I had a couple of standard halfords 501 bulbs in the tool box (the car had led's)so i thought i'd fit them. When i fitted the standard bulb in the side that was staying on it went out and the other side came on,so i put a standard bulb in there to and guess what,everything back to normal(allbeit with a yellow light)and no error on the info centre. So all good so far,strange eh all i can think is the circuitry in the led's has failed and caused a short of sorts,still hope this helps if anyone else has this issue. Cheers for the replys Shug

Yea i've seen the posts about the rev counter,i don't think the newer 147's 159's and brera's have the same issue. Really stumped. Cheers Shug

I haven't changed any bulbs but very similiar staying on dim. Cheers Shug

Hi smiffy I checked the parking light they come on ok left and right but as soon as i turn them off it stays on but dimmer,if you follow . If needed i can jump a wire through a relay from the working side but i'll still have the error on the dash and i believe this will be an mot failure. Cheers shug

Hi All Sorry i'm asking a question on my first post but i've tried on another site and got no replys. Just recently noticed on my Brera that the passenger side light is staying on,i've checked all the connections and given them a clean with contact cleaner but no difference. I checked the voltage and its getting 12v when the lights are on and 9.5v when off. Earth seems to be ok so i've pulled the bulb meanwhile to save the battery.On another site there seems to be some folk with similiar issues with 147's which is leading to the body ecu.aaargh. Anyone had this and is there an easy fix. Cheers Shug
