Re: head light switch
the knob inside gets worn and drops it own dust onto the resistor - common fault and needs a replacement switch - Andy (spurs fan) probably has some - easy fix.peter2b wrote:when I pull the silver knob out the lights work ok but the dash light take a bit of fiddling with the switch to come on but don't dim if I rotate it I've done a search but can't find anthing up to date about any fixes any one point me in the correct direction please ie can the dimmer track be fixed (soldered)

Re: head light switch
You can fix it with a bit of solder, or make it permanently lit with some wire...
