Hello.

I have a slightly irritating intermittent fault with my V50.

Every now and then (perhaps once per month), I remove the key from the car and note that the headlights have stayed on.

The only way to stop this is to put the key back into the ignition slot and pull it out again and the lights go off.

Could anyone possibly suggest the cause and how I might remedy this?

I am slightly worried that I will get caught out, one day, and end up with a flat battery.
