I have a similar prob because my headlamps flash when I accelerate lol

And my rears have one holder missing....

My advice is to pull them all out and look at the filament and maybe give it a little shake to see if th bulb coil moves... if it does, its a dud.

If you find that ALL your bulbs are fine then dig deeper, have a friend help you double check....

Still showing check probs then disconnnect the LCM (Light Control Module), then reconnect... No Difference? Change module.

DAZ

This theory does work with other modules too !!!

Check stuff before modules... I.E. Wiring, attachments and extras etc...

      Rough idle problem

      Looking for some help. 2010 116i M sport with the 2.0na engine. When cold, car ticks over perfectly. After about 15 mins of driving when idling you can feel it getting a little bit rough. Nothing too bad, but the longer you idle the worse it gets. No EML. When running car runs perfectly not a flicker. Today left it idling for 10mins after I felt it and then revs started to fluctuate but still no eml. OBD scanner can’t pick anything up. Turned it off and back on and was still rough but only a little bit like when it just starts. Anyone had anything similar or can point me in a direction of where I should start looking?

      3.0i starter motor

      I stand corrected…. It wasn’t the starter. I could hear it clicking so checked the battery, amps were about 10… new battery and fired straight up…. So much for Halfords and yuasa battery testing! ….now to the next issue…
