Some more excellent progress!
Behind the centre console I found this black box plugged into two relay-socket-size connectors. Gave them a good spray and my fan works! Yay!!

Yes Dave, just need the Gremlins, Wombats and Oompa Loompas to stop messing with my lamps!

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)
Eureka!!
After a long period of fault finding and fiddling with cables, relays etc etc I finally have working headlights again.
It appears to have been the changeover relay hidden behind the fuse box and central locking CCU. Once the seat was removed it’s pretty straight forward but a bit hard to get to.
The relay is really a chip and Mr Magic ScoobyDave spotted some dry soldering joints. I managed to solder them and it seems to work.
Many thanks to you Dave for guiding me!

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)
Sorry for lousy updating. New job and bad weather is to blame, but it isn’t just without progress. I’m getting the brakefluid changed on monday and hopefully that will bring my pedal back to life. Then the plan is a visit to the tester. It will fail no doubt but it means I will know what I’m looking at. It needs welding for sure but I’m not sure on other hidden issues.
Sofar I’ve had to get the alternator fixed, a new thermostat, filters and service. Plus the change of brake fluid. And loads of elbow grease. Not too bad. So total budget at this point is in the region of £400 including car.

Hopefully the test doesn't reveal anything too nasty Henrik! Fingers crossed for you!

Re: Manalishis Mk 1a 827 Vitesse (manual)
Brakefluid changed today and I could tell the brakes are better. Faster responding pedal and the brakes come on higher with less pedal travel. A few small tweaks left and then it’s off to the tester.
