cheers for the replys mate,

they have only been on there bout 3 months! surely they should last longer than that!!!???

check your fuses and relays, what amp/voltage alternator have you fitted? could it be to high and have blown a fuse? also check fuel pump is working and fuse for heated seats if its like a s2.
