Thread: No turning lights in D4 bi-xenons

yes there are d4s with "adaptive lights", and i think hse its standed,,, and SE its option, and 2.7tdv6 se its not even a option, they dont even have the led side lights

They must have something to do with the adaptive lights. IIRC the corner lights would only come on when the adaptives had started to turn. Therefore, the system must have linked their operation to that of the adaptives. Either that or it's linked to the steering angle sensor.

The wiring schematic shows the cornering lamps are triggered by the blinkers and the steering angle sensor. I thought I read some time ago that there's a speed limit too.

Graeme - sorry, been away for a while so have only just caught up with this thread. Just been out to check my D4 SE - it appears I too have the silver cap thingy rather than a live globe of any kind. Started it up, put it onto full lock, turned on headlights (tried high and low beams), put on indicator (same direction as wheels) - and no action at all.

Seems like either a furphy in the info, or perhaps (as you suggested) may be related to the danged halogen high-beam issue. Which reminds me, I asked my dealer to check with LRA re this matter a few days ago - response was "no fix being provided; still not recognised as a problem - vehicle passed ADR's so must be okay..."

The wiring exists in mine but doesn't get any power so I assume they need enabling as well as the globes etc. Seems the same in the UK so must be an incorrect specification. One day I'll check to see if the globes fit directly into the reflectors or need an holder.

The headlight aim issue has been found in th eUK with some vehicles but not others in both the standard bi-xenons and the adaptive ones. I suspect LR UK will soon be well aware of the problem, if not already.

Sounds like the LRA I know and Love

I wonder if they have any appreciation at all how furiously angry this dumb refusal to acknowlege obvious problems is, I have experienced it on a number of ocassions before

LRA also do not acknownledge that the suspension on a D4 takes over
2 mins to get to height on 2nd operation,( if it doesn't overheat first,)
as being a problem, because some others take that long as well.
Lucky toyota didn't think the same about there brakes

I still remember the shock and incredulity I experienced when they told me the reason they didn't issue a recall on the 300TDi's with a timing belt problem was that it was not a life threatening issue.

This was after mine two weeks out of warranty blew the timing belt seizing the engine and locking all four wheels and bringing me to a screaming halt on a busy road. Tow days before that I had driven from Melbourne to Brisbane and I hate to think what would have happened if it had done that whilst overtaking a road train at 100Kph at 2am.

Before we got to that point they initially denied it was a known problem until I found out from a mate who new a dealer service guy that not only ha dthe service guys been told to watch for rubber pieces in the oil when changing, but that there was a pulley wheel fix kit made to correct the unknown problem.

When I presented this to them they finally agreed to fix under warranty.
