Hi all,

I'm a few months into ownership of my first S2 now, and so far, so good. The other day I ended up driving home in the dark for the first time and noticed that I had no idea how fast I was going, and more importantly - how much fuel was left!
Seems none of the lights on my dash are working, but all of the dials and instruments are.

I found the fuse box yesterday and checked every fuse, but couldn't see a dead one. Is there a diagram of an S2 fuse box anywhere which I could use to check which fuse is supposed to be for the dash illumination?
Can anyone suggest the next best place to check as i'm not sure if this is a common fault? How many bulbs illuminate the dash in total? Am I missing any other obvious checks before I have to start taking the entire dash apart?
Taa, Jim

Thanks all for the information! I've just got the car back after getting the wheels refurbished (I'll post a thread with pics later on) and it turns out I was just being a numpty. The dash illumination all works fine with the rotary switch - I just didn't expect them to be separated from the headlamp circuit. I suppose it's just a strange TVRism?

Glen - thanks for the fuse diagram. I'll be looking out for the 'Bible'

jwigglesworth - Yes I would be interested, how much are you after?
