Posted thread week or two ago and have had it suggested that my dead dash may be due to faulty earth. Where is the earth point for dash and I assume it is the same as the lights on warning buzzer??!

The "earthing" point is the metal chassis/metal body components. If you connect a spare piece of wire from the earth terminal and ground it on the chassis this will prove if you have a bad earth connection somewhere. One of those £5 voltage current tester's in the cheapy tool shops is well worth getting to test things like this.
