pretty sure its just a dodgy connection,so shouldnt be too bad,on the top/front edge of the clocks there are 2 holes for bulbs,mine has only 1 bulb fitted in r/h/s/ one,should there be 2?

Yeah you are right... the inverter gets its power from the "Bulb" thing in the back of the clocks, which says NON SERVICABLE DO NOT REMOVE give it a jiggle
