Litronic problem

[Steves]

Hi,

The RHS litronic on my 2004 2.7 regularly cuts out after approx 20 mins of driving. It tends to happen when I stop at a traffic light on my regular journey home from the office when the engine revs fall to idling.

I find that if I 'gun' the engine while slowing down, I can often 'catch' the light; it gives a flicker, but doesn't cut out.

I guess one solution would be to leave the office earlier (before it gets dark) or find a job closer to home (less than 20 mins drive), but my boss didn't seem too happy with this.

I've read other threads about the ballast and the ignitor, but being a total non-technical person, I'm not sure what to do.

Any ideas ?
