Coverage and how to read this overview

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

POST 1 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

Having purchased my first Porsche a few months ago I am now settling in to the joys of ownership[ ] When I have been driving at night, I have been flashed a few times and realised that my beam was too high. I adjusted this and still was getting flashed quite regularly. Now fustrated I decided to check the beam when I was right up against the garage door. When i moved the thumb wheel, there was no change in the height. I then investigated the fuse and that was OK. Next step was to remove the lights and free up what I expected to be a jammed motor. To my horror there was no motor in either of the lamps, only the end of a wiring loom. My car is six years old and I cannot believe that this has gone unoticed all that time, although the lights look like they have not been played with in anyway. So my questions are[&:] Has anyone had same the same thing? Can I get the motors easily at a good price? Thinking of going Litronic, where is the best place to buy? Thanks in advance.

Bruce Maybe you could get some Night vision goggles.[8|]

POST 3Original post

Maybe it been in a front end accident? If so then the reparers may have 'forgotten' to fit them!

POST 4 / ORIGINAL POSTEROriginal post

I know it had the PU resprayed, but the bonnet is original and shows no sign of being resprayed (to my knowledge). This was a couple of years ago and the lights look a lot older, although they could have come from a breaker!
