I have a problem with fuses 11-12 & 13-14, the mian beam inner and outer.
These lights used to work periodically, this I traced down to dirty connections and thought nothing of it. There was also a bit of crappy wiring which was not rover spec.
I Changed to Halogen and the original problem was still present as I never really got stuck into it.
Whilst doing some prep for the MOT I had all the lights on at once, when I went to turn them off after about 7-8minutes there was smoke coming from the glove box. the top fuse holders 11 and 13 had melted the plastic.
I decided to remedy the problems by replacing the box and any fuse holders which were beyond cleaning.
I did this and all the faulty electrics are working as they should. I did notice that the same fuses were hot, not wanting to melt my only spare fuse box I turn the lights off. I had fitted a 15 amp and 25 amp fuses as per the box.
I am wondering whether I should be upgrading the circuits for these lamps. or does anyone have any suggestions
