>On the way home from a club meeting this evening .... headlights work, but
when I switched to main beam, both lights switched off. If I 'flash' the
mainbean the blue light comes on on the dashboard but the headlights don't
flash (but stay on). I'm an idiot when it comes to electrics, so any clues
as to where/what to investigate will be very welcome!

Ian, this sounds like a dodgy connection in the wire harness.  I'd start at
the harness connection to the left hand side headlight.  There is a four
way connector where the main beam wire connects to the left hand headlamp
and the wire that leads to the right hand side headlamp.  Since the blue
indicator works I suspect the switch is not at fault.

Cheers
