Just comming to the end of 'restoring' the electrical systems, new lights where needed etc, pinching up the connecters, and lots of silicon grease everwhere:rolleyes:

but now got back to dash, and found a small box stuck to the back of the console with a multi way plug, and a cable floating around with the same plug on it. The box has what looks like heat sink fins on it. The plug has a lot of mud and dust on it so guess its not been pluged in for some time.

Only thing that happens when i do plug it in is that the near side diped beam comes on, and stays on regardless of where the switch is. The relay (next to it - do the headlights) continues to opperate normal

Not sure what this is as the only wiring diag I have does not have a key on it (most of it is obvious)

Is this a voltage stabaliser for the gueages? - Not sure why it would need one as the fule guage swins around when you go round a corner anyway (or is this what its ment to do?):doh:

Any help apreciated

It's the dim dip relay for your headlights. It sounds from your description like it is now redundant.
 
is this it?;)

Just found loads of them on ebay for £18.00 is this the same part or did they change it on later models for a cheaper one that worked?
