480 electrical gremlins
New 480 turbo owner here with some initial electrical faults to rectify.
Drivers side headlight is a bit temperamental, sometimes it pops up, sometimes not. It always goes down. If it doesn't pop up and I move it slightly by hand it goes up under it's own steam. Lights do not flash when headlights down. On my old 480 the long range lamps would flash if the headlights are down. Any help with above greatly appreciated. R

I would take the R/H motor apart and clean and grease it.

If you go on YouTube at the moment, someone has posted the BBC Motor show programme from 1987 and they did a featurette on the 480, including its sophisticated electronics
That made me chuckle after owning 3 of them. |

Hi Ulrikas PA, do you have a link for the video please? I'd like to watch that but can't find it.
