Hi there - saw your replies about the posibility of fuses being the cause of my problem. So quick to check and ... you were spot on.
Not blown - just a bad connection. Dash lights and lail lights all working fine again.
Thanks guys.
Will keep you posted on the cause of the low beam not working all the time...

Baught proper 8Amp fuses today and fitted them as suggested. I attached one spare fuse inside this black lid - just in case...

The good news - I started looking for the intermittent problem on the low beam. Saw that the cable was running under the tank so I removed it. Shook the cable only to find the red plug not securely pluged into it's female connector. Pushed this in and added a cable tie to the cable to prevent it from coming loose in the future.

I also flushed the speedo cable as suggested but it was too cold/late to take it for a spin to see if the jumping needle is also fixed now.
Thanks for all the good advice.

Well, it looks like you got a few low cost quick fixes, and learned a little bit about the bike in the process .
