You put the key in, lights come on.

Anything else i can help with on a friday night

Dashboard illumination is the illumination of the dashboard...

It means to light up

[steve_earwig]

Oh dear I think you need to be a tad more specific

To hazard a guess....
If you've got no dash lights check the brightness knob which is by your right knee!

Well you were a little bit vague!
Glad it's sorted anyhow and you've got the logbook!

still loads to do to bring it up to acceptable standard (mechanically speaking)
thenits bodywork time, first thing being to replace front bumper which is cracked in two places .
