Ok many thanks to everyone for your help.

I started from a position of ignorance.

I have had the car 20 years and had never opened the fuse box on the dashboard. For almost all the time I have had the car I have been getting a 'position light failure' warning. A long time ago I was told that this was the light that switched on and told you where the car was in a car park, so for best part of twenty years I've ignored it.

But the warning seems to relate to be two small adjacent lights in the lower clusters at the rear. Two in the right cluster were out, hence I was getting that warning. When the right dipped beam went out that flipped the warning into 'multiple bulb failure', and at some stage recently the right brake light went.

I replaced the dipped beam I had with a spare which was faulty. That, and the fact that all the out bulbs were on the right side, and all seemed to have gone at the same time made me think it was something other than the bulbs.

But it was the bulbs.

Ignorance is bliss.

And thanks again for your help.
