ive just found a switch to the left hand side of the steering column underneath, can any one tell me what it does, its a 96

I think it is the pointless one that turns off the dash board lights, turn your lights on and then press the button to find out, don't know why they have them.

that's what it is.
Helps protect night vision

There are a number of Chimps out there, mine included, with a conversion so that the button turns the auxiliary engine fan on. Not sure it was strictly necessary, but in hot weather/traffic it can be reassuring!

I don't think it's pointless at all! Have you tried driving with the dash lights off at night? It's brilliant, especially on a dark motorway as it puts less strain on your eyes and makes the car feel more like a cocoon (sp?). In winter with the heater on, stereo on and lights off on a dark motorway its pretty much the perfect cruiser... Also makes low light hoonage much nicer as the lack of lights in front of you helps you get a better 'night vision' enabling you to see the road ahead better despite the candles TVR call lights!
