True but not being able to turn them off can get annoying occasionally, so I leave my DRL setting off, and the headlamp switch on all the time.

Strange, I don't get the blue light on the dash or anything. Ah well.

A relay or fuse Alex

The headlight flash works fine if I'm not indicating, maybe the stalk is dodgy.

Sorry to spoil the fun .....but all these tricks are in the owners manual....may i suggest you all read it!....Lol

Sometimes these tricks are just stupid as my Mercs lights come on automatically after dusk when i take out the ignition key.....BUT they shine down the road and not to my door or pathway.....i expect i can turn them off and that will be in my manual so i had better read about it also....Lol

I have an S reg V40 and a T reg S40 T4........................ both different to what you can do, eg turning off drl on S40 but not on V40, and wiper stalk push up for single stroke on S40 but not available on V40, yet both have same hand book !! ( which I don't have )
So the handbook wont be of much use to one of them !!!
