wiring? if connector in the plug?

Update, issue resolved it was the ballast unit, removed inner wheel arch cover to gain access to it rather than taking the front bumper off, took about 45min to do.

Good stuff, did you have the codes read to id or throw parts at it.

After replacing bulb and starter the only part left was the ballast unit so for £26 I gave it a go rather than paying £80 for a star check

 

[Ben2057]

This is what the problem was
