It weird, I had everything working again, turned the ignition off, then it didn't work again, so took the reverse light switch off, cleaned it up, put it back on, and everything worked again, turned the ignition off, and nothing works again, what could it be :) ?

A bad joint or poor earth. Everytime you move the loom it's making/breaking. Try wiggling the loom to narrow it down to an area.

Well I've basically come in now, not the happiest of people at the moment :thumbsup: . The only things that arn't working now are the indicators, rear demister and reverse light. They seem to work every now and again. The wipers work now, it seems like the motor was jammed or something :) . And I've also worked out that the three things that arn't working are also part of the same circuit. So the fault is between them somewhere. Anyway, I will more than likley just go over all the connection again and make sure everything is connected right, and connectors are clean, etc, yay more work >_< .

Thats ok mate, can't wait for some chav to say, "Whats and Eaton 45?"

Well today, more electrics :sneaky: , and the outcome...everything now works :D , noob mistake :lol: . Anyway, moving on, I have decided to start my engine rebuild next weekend. I have decided to do this as the rebuild will be a steady process and can be something running in the background while I get on with my mini. But now the electrics are sorted, the interior is not far away from copletion :D , I hope :D .
