check the ign switch, make sure all the wires are still connected. then check the feed to the light switch on the stalk, again check no loose wires and nothing dirty. then check the switch itself. not sure if its as common with disco's but on a few of my old cars some **** has got in the switch and stopped it working.

cloud of smoke from the engine bay ....... (sharp intake of breath) ..... gonna cost ya. if summat smoking at least it should be easy to trace and sort, if its like mine then the zorst manifold has 'lost' a bolt and the downpipe will be open a bit. never did sort mine, sold it before i got round to it lol
