The plate that the headlight switch sits in is a bit wobbly, can anyone tell me how to tighten it up?

thanks

remove the light switch to get to the 8mm nuts

unscrew the knob, pull off the wiring connector from back of switch, the press the side of the switch to release the tab and the switch will come out of the panel, you can also remove the foglight switch (if fitted) now you will have plenty of room to get to the nuts :D
