once your lights working (just an earth fault) squirt the conections with aerosol waxoyl (the clear one)..dont squirt the bulbs,just the connections..

wonderful stuff for keeping the moisture out,(crap for keeping rot of chassis,oil/grease much better) much better than wd40 etc..i use it on our electrics on road sweepers,and imagine the crap they take!

The light thing seems fairly common. Had a very similar fault on my TD5. Took the lenses out, fiddled with all the connections, blew a fuse, replaced it and now they work! Probably is an earth connection, but I'd definitely just check/clean every connection you can get your hands on.
