Hey all, cant find any answers by searching, so here goes...

(All on a '92 200tdi)

All dash back lights (and clock on centre fascia panel) now fail to iluminate (they used to work til t'other day) - the fault panel beneath still works fine. Not a blown fuse as far as I can ascertain unless someone has really messed about with the wiring! Do these bulbs all run in series or parallel? Just hoping its something simple as that before I go ripping the dash to shreads looking for the problem.

Reversing light - stopped working, changed bulb tested worked fine. Went to reverse out this morning, no reversing light. From changing the original bulb it didn't look like it had blown it, just wondering if it may be a tempramental switch on the gearbox - has anyone experianced similair?

Also while we're on the subject of electrickery does anyone know of anywhere you can get hold of the multi bullet connector things found in the wings for connecting multiple wires together, eg 6 earth wires. Been to a selection of various Auto electrical shops and they all seem to be confused and proclaim you cant get em anymore -i'm hoping thats not the case!!
 
One bulb failing on the dash instruments shouldn't affect the others - fuse or earth I suspect

Reversing lamp - sounds like it could be the switch, or chaffed wires where the wiring loom goes through the chassis

Bullet connectors sorry, haven't seen for ages - have you searched ebay?

Might be worth contacting this seller to see what else he has
