Thanks for all the advice. I'll inspect the car thoroughly now with the pointers I've had to look at. I don't know why I didn't realise it was the boot light switch that I was looking at on the tailgate strut! Doh!
Individual Dashboard switches are definitely not illuminating - I'll start chasing down the earth when I feel brave enought to take the dashboard to pieces - and a visit to the local scrap yard is about due I feel to see if I can source some of the bits. If I can't get them locally I might be lucky at the VOC show.

Thanks again

Nigel
