DCCV is bad.

Same as most others, it sucks.

Might need a new bulb, but they aren't cheap

I had a dim bulb and it ended up being the igniter on the end of the bulb not installed properly. I also had the parking light not working and it would come on and off when you banged on the light.

1. Your coolant/heater valve is not functioning correctly - it's called a DCCV. Approx £70 to buy and an easy fix.

2. Don't know;

3. First check to ensure that it's not just a matter of the beam being set too low. If it is too low, the likelihood is the height levelling mechanism is broken. Do a search for Xenon headlight fix.
