He's given me the confidence I can do a better job!

After looking at a few more posts on here I'm thinking people will be shouting "check the fekin 30A fuse in the engine bay"...

update: It wasn't the earth strap. I didn't have time to get to the root of the problem so had an auto sparky in. Can't say I'm impressed. All he really did, after much unnecessary stripping down was prove that there was no power to the switch. Can anyone tell me why the switch +ve would...

Update: So as expected, by I think everyone, putting a new switch in did bugger all. I have found a new interesting feature: With the light switch on dipped if I hold the main beam on flash... I can blow both the dipped fuses... As it's a 300tdi defender commercial from '98 just as the wiring...

Is that a different kit?

There was a promotional picture recently with a couple of sheep in the back. Neither of them were dead though.
