I have a problem with my clock set up, I have a 3 clock in my Mini (not a centre one) and it works perfectly until I switch my sidelights on, dip lights and full beam then it starts to have issues. Bascailly soon as I turn on any lights both indicators light up but not a full light just like dipped and the fuel and engine temp go straight up! Also the rev counter goes up and down. Also when I go to indicate the lights on the clock flash for the other side to if I was going right then it which flash left but outside it would flash on the right side. Please help!

You have a bad earth... Clean ALL earth points, however unrelated it may seem... Also give the multi plug a push in, it can work loose or be in the wrong way!!
