A little bit of a conundrum this time. I've read the manual (which makes a first for me) and I can't get the foglights to work. However, I wonder if the wiring has been altered at some stage in the past. I believe that the light switch should have positions
Side Lights --- Off --- Parking Lights
Mine is
Side Lights --- Side Lights --- Off.
The headlight stalk acts as normal. The foglight switch lights up when pulled, but the foglights don't come on at any time.
It's not massively important, but has anyone else experienced this?

Aah, well! The original setup is a bit counterintuitive to the uninitiated! Possibly a previous owner assumed the factory setup was so strange it couldn't possibly have been as designed, and decided to "fix" it!
Do you have a wiring diagram? It's probably worth pulling the instrument binnacle out and checking the connections to the headlight switch first.
It would also be worthwhile having a fossick about to see whether relays have been fitted to the headlamps. The original setup put huge stress on the switch, and they tended to overheat and damage the edge of the binnacle. If relays have been fitted, then that is a good thing: however it may also mean that the wiring has been tampered with...
