That's a great little site page Odd. Bookmarked that one. Guess I'm one of the lucky ones, my tacho always works first off!

 

As for the dash lights, check the illumination pot next to the cig-lighter, sometimes these get dirty and the wiper does not make good contact. You could try and disconnect the pot and bypass it to see if the dash lights work. Check fuses.

 

If you have done that already, sorry. I do have an original workshop manual with the wiring schematics, what year is the 7? coupe or dhc? and I can scan and paste here, if allowed.
