If so, it must be a voltage problem as described by >Blacksmith.

If it is the sensor rather than the bulb, then the light will stop working and the warning will show up on the SID. Opening and shutting the bonnet to change the bulb then jogs the sensor and the new bulb obligingly lights up - for a while. I think I threw away a couple of perfectly good bulbs before I twigged. Cheers, Colin.
