Thanks for all your replies


Its all fixed!!

Once I had my copy of the Rave wiring diagrams rather than the Haynes crayon drawings it was easier to see what was what.
Turns out that the main loom had been damaged near the under bonnet fuse box. Some of the wires had a small nick in them. The only thing I can think of is I must have nicked the wires when I was patching the inner wing. I did this THREE years ago !!! the nick in the wires had slowly sulphated (?) as there was a bluish coating to the wires some of which had been eaten all the way through ( total of 6 broken wires !!).
To be honest Im surprised the any of the electrics worked at all.
I had been out in the Disco the other day and had gone through a few fords, some off them were quite deep (above headlamps) so all that water must have been the final straw for the loom.
So all soldered up and heat shrinked now and as good as new.
