The bottom hose is supposed to be stone cold this weather, if the gauge reads near half way the engine is normal.

I have a picture of the heater levers on mine, likely it is set to half heat and screen/feet

If it suddenly breaks, go back to the last thing that you did before it broke and start looking there :)

I was nearly right, I knew I read something about something being kicked off!

Good luck then, I'm all out of suggestions I'm afraid then!

Just a thought regarding the handbrake light. My guess is that something else is earthing through the hand brake warning light circuit, like when you have a bad earth on an indicator and a brake light (or similar) flashes on and off dimly with the indicators. God knows how to suss it though!!.........Poor earth somewhere??

Good Luck

It could be a break in the insulation to the live wire going to the switch causing it to earth somewhere else to vaguely complete the circuit, hence the dimness. That will be a bugger to find though!
