Is probably the switch for the headlights on the left hand stalk, they seem to go on quite a fw Discos, mine did. Bout £20 for a brand new stalk which just clips in nice and easily.

I was thinking the earth between body and chassis......altho the switch does sound like a better option. Side lights bring on the dashboard lights as well so thats a reasonable conclusion. :)

Would also recommend that you fit a couple of relays to the headlights at the same time. Makes them brighter and will also stop the stalk from burning out in the future. :idea:
