Hiya mate, welcome to the club.

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...

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

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

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
