Hi all!!
Since its first winter my car has had the auto levelling problem on the headlights. Normally, when its cold outside, the drivers side headlight will not auto level and will end up much lower than the passenger side, throwing light a lot less further down the road than the passenger side. The only way to resolve this is to turn the engine off, remove the key and restart. This is annoying if Ive parked facing something and can see it straight away, its more annoying if Ive just left a built up area and noticed it!
Now, at just over a year old I dont find it acceptable that I should have to start my car twice in the morning to get the headlights to work properly. The dealer cant do anything about it as far as I can tell. In true form it wont do it on cue and definitely not while its at the garage. They said they had 'reset' them last time it was in but even if such a thing exists is done the square root of ZERO because its still doing it!
Tonight I managed to get a very bad video of it happening....

This coupled with the rattles and clunks they dint fix has got me a bit hacked off. Im considering taking the headlight issue to SEAT and since I remember there were some fellow sufferers out there last time I'd like to see how common it is, if anyone has cured it and if anyone is still suffering! With that in mind Ive added a quick poll to go with it.
Stay safe out there and check your headlights for me in the morning!
