I had a good read about your cars.

I think I have tracked the heater problem to the switch it is the same switch as the head lights I plugged it in an only the dash lights and side lights worked which in my mind means the switch is damaged internally

I sorted the indicators it was a chafed wire that had broken a quick cut and solder soon had it all working and back up to a passable speed

I found my klaxxon horn which meant I could wire in a horn to check the wiring was ok and it worked first time but I think I will put the original 2 tone back on at a later date but I did forget how loud this thing was!

When I thought I was onto a winner I accidentally broke the handle of the switch for the headlights so instead of needin to buy 1 switch I have to buy 2! - curse word

I had a bit of a productive day yesterday, I have ordered my fuse box and relay holders so I should get those early next week so in preparation of them coming I removed the dash wiring and cleaned up a few spots under the dash so I could see where I wanted to put my fuse box

I don't think this has ever been out as it still has the original tag fitted and the part number which I will be putting back on when I put it back in for the final time, I took the loom tape off but taped a few parts so that it would keep its original shape whilst giving me access to the wires

with that all done I have made a start on the cigar lighter which the car has never had not that I smoke I just want to charge stuff like phones or mini fridges

and before I started to put the loom back in the car I thought I would take the wiper motor out and give the linkages a clean as Jpsmit recommended

its pretty manky!

I managed to get the loom back in place and everything worked first time which is good to know, just waiting on that fuse box now...
