my dash lights and heater lights have gone off inside my 93WRX, all my headlights and brakelights still work as any 1 got any ideas on what could be causing it. or if any1 knows a place close to Staffordshire i could take it to be looked at.

any help would be great

Check the main fuse box 1st, should be 20amp fuse. Replace it if it's blown & try switching the lights on again. If it blows then it's more than likely there's a short/bare wire amongst the loom.
If the fuse is ok then it could be a faulty earth or bad connection.
Bear in mind the rear tailgate lights (no. plate) are also linked to the interior illumination so its best to check them too.
I am in the same situtation with the illumination out, I removed the speedo & found some bare wire's. These have been now insulated but still blowing the fuse when lights are switched on.
I am getting a sparky on the case as Ive checked everthing I can.
