Will take a look at both these areas in next day or so.
Had a successful afternoon today, the seller told me that the fuel gauge wasn't working, he had never looked into it just filled tank drove a set number of miles and refilled. Decided to see what the issue was turned out someone had been in before and joined wires with butt crimp connectors and one wire had broken. Stripped back, new section of wire in place soldered and heat shrunk and hey presto one working fuel gauge
Now to tackle the abortion of wiring to the front fogs!
