Hiya mate, welcome to the club. :D

There's loads of info on here about dodgy connections on the instrument panel, usually dry joints on the PCB. Use the search box on the top right of the page... :wink:

Headlights, yup the dips stay on with the main beams because the 406 uses separate bulbs for dips and mains. 8) If you had a lesser car with one dual filament bulb they'd go off :oops: :mrgreen:

Welcome roady! :)
I've had to resolder two different 406 dash clusters, similar faults as yours and the speedo getting stuck at 40mph :roll:

Idd, mine'd stick at 38, making the bastardish speed cameras of Southampton just that bit more fun to negotiate :)

Re-soldering is your friend
