That was the first thing I did.

But thanks.

There will be a means of adjusting the intensity of the instrument panel lights - are you sure this hasn’t been set to minimum?

Do you have both dip and main beam lights? 
When you say ‘flash’ do you mean the headlamp flasher doesn’t work?

Regards,

Gareth.

Hi Gareth yes I have dipped and main beam but no flash when I pull back on the stalk.

Hi most likely the stalk is gone but you might be able to get it going by giving it a good soak in contact cleaner, I suspect the light issue may well be the bulbs in the back of the cluster, tiny things that push in to a twist fit holder.

I'll get the stalk out and look for a replacement.

Cleaning up the copper space below the four screws to see if temperature gauge will strat working. I will also replace bulbs as I have no "light on" or "high bean" light at the moment and it all seems a bit dim.  I can see 1.2w and 2.0w capacity bulbs but wondering if there is a difference between the black, white, green and light green bulbs (light green is marked 2w other seems to be 1.2w. Also one missing (open hole) and four blanked off.
