Moving this to Tech Help where it belongs!
Theres a bulb there which could of course be blown, but the wire connecting to it is very prone to breaking.

I had the same prob. a week ago and Ant sorted it with loads of other stuff. I think it may have been a bulb but I may be wrong.

It also has a fuse all to itself (9), which, if blown, also points to a fault in the wiring to the lamp.
