Hi my Williams 3 has just started throwing a wobbler by which the stereo turns off when the sidelights are switched off and comes back on when lights are turned back on, although stereo can be turned on without the sidelights been on? In a possibly related fault the rev counter has become really docile and unresponsive, sitting arounf 1000rpm on tickover but barelt musters the energy to get to 1500rpm when the engine is quite clearly reving around 3500rpm!! could these 2 faults possibly point towards a dodgy earth?? or are there any other possible gremlins? cheers guys

Stuff like this is hard to diagnose. Could be a bad earth, yes. Check all bulbs work and fuses are okay. Could be a short under the dashboard or you may require a lights stalk, they are known to go.
