Do you know if it be from the back of the clocks? Or something else.. My transducer, earths from the black/White plug are all connected so I'm a bit confused?

Yea luckely the dash isn't back in yet so it should make life much easier that's why I want to sort it soon as! I'm still planning on coming for those bits w88rdy if you have them? Just had to many others things to do lately...

Try moving the bulb in the dash while its powered up, youve gotta remember the clocks are years old now and chances are the contact surface has worn out/off slightly and if the bulb isnt making a good contact then its not going to work, ive had this before so try that before you pull all your wiring to bits!

Mine sometimes goes dim at one side and a slight tap of the dash cures that problem :)

If you've had the dash off though, most of the loom earth into a ring terminal in the middle of the bulkhead. If its a bad earth its likely the lights will be dim.
