And the saga goes on! I spoke directly to an auto electrician this morning. Apparently the relays are not plug and play?! Although the square boxy things in my fuse box which I assume are relays DO pull out and push in!? He says that it’ll probably need a whole new “Unit” and that’ll need reprogramming all I see is ££££££££££!!!! Having said all that my main beam was okay this weekend as long as I do the pulling the stalk towards me and pushing away thing and most importantly NO flashing flickering main beam. I’m tempted to limp on for the time being but can I ask this please...? Are the box like plugs in the fuse compartment under the bonnet relays? If they are then they are most certainly not soldered in as I managed to pull one out quite easily this morning...and plug it back in again?

Yes they are relays, what I done when I had my vectra was to buy a used engine bay fuse box from eBay that had all the relays and fuses in it--cheapest way to buy the complete item and you have many spares, quite cheap too - - Dave

Ahhh the mist clears! Just spoken to the garage they are saying it could be the ECU! I’m sure that’s a gross over exaggeration! But the man I usually deal with at the garage is back off his hols now and says they’ve not even checked the relays yet! Bloody hell they know how to scare me! I’m not the sort of girlie who’ll sit back and accept what I’m told I’m afraid I’ll do as much research as possible. Dave...and everyone else who’s taken time to contribute to this thank you all so much x

Hello Janey . first off the auto electrician did he actually look at your car or was he trying to frighten you ? If he did .it's like me trying to diagnose a central heating problem over the phone .you just don't do it .
As Dave says they are relays .
Secondly garage saying it's the ECU .............. Trollop ( excuse the English)
They should check the basics first which they haven't done.

YEEEEEEEEHAAAAAAAAA

So no. Neither the garage nor the Auto electrical guy have looked at the relays and the Auto guy hasn’t even seen the car. I’m going to get a spare fuse unit like Dave said off eBay and change the relays first and if that doesn’t work then and ONLY then will I speak to the garage. In fairness I really do trust the guy I spoke to today at the garage. He sort of confirmed all you just said.
