head lights dimming when driving

Postby frank333 » Sun Jul 15, 2012 2:03 am

When I am driving my head lights dim very low and go bright and dull all the time, when the van is ticking over its fine just when I accelerate, can anyone help me with this dilemma thanks.

just concentrate on the loom for now, it a very very common problem, the rest of the system is quite robust, had the odd alternator go down but the loom is more common
