    Definately an earth issue o that light. Make sure the metal contact on the side of the socket is CLEAN. The metal tab on the socket is usually where a piece on the side of the socket is missing. (Often known as the locator tab).

    That's incorrect mate, it's 2 different circuits so they should both stay on if parkers are on and the brake is applied.

    Didn't think Brockie was involved in vans...

    My money is on a sus earth or a short in a trailer wiring loom (if fitted).

    Thanks guys. It's bucketing down rain here for a couple days so the car is wrapped up until the weekend.

    When the rain stops, give the schooner method another shot. If no joy, try switching to pints......
