Lights...
tried the bulb?
if not the bulb you'll need a new switch, which is on the gearbox.
available from GSF or brickwerks

the jet is blocked try a thin pin, not a needle they snap and then your buggered

the switch is on the nearside of the gearbox toward the mount and braided earth cable..
there are three wires attached to it:-

black/grey
black/blue X 2
(remember how they were on)

If the van hasn't been lowered then you can access it without a jack as long as your not a fatty

it's squeaks because the bearing is destroying itself
You'll have to take the dash out and replace it, for a permanent fix

use the search or the wiki for that
