Every now and then when I turn the sidelights on the speedo dies and main beam warning lamps comes on and the main beams come on. When switched to main beam nothing happens. Not sure if should check relay, main light switch or earthing??

Yes I have a similar problem too on my 94 Tdi - switch on lights and the rev counter, instrument lights, fuel and temp guages die and main beam warning light comes on with heads on dip . Everything would right itself for a while with a hefty blow to the dashboard but now it dies every time.

I have been told that it is due to a dodgy circuit board and that it will cost about £300 plus to put right. I am going to take a look myself this week (hopefully) and see if anything is fixable. If not, looks like the car may have to go as it is an mot failure as it stands. Anybody out there with some tips?
