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

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

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!
