[%] I can see the light!!! I have had a great deal of drama with the lights on my car. It had been given a very dodgy H4 main beam conversion (originally they are H1), it appeared that the big relay was the drama, swapping it for a MK3 one gave me highs and main no parker, originally I had parker and main, no high. I had an auto elec pop over today and spend 2 hours fiddling.
Turns out the original relay did work but had one feed instead of 2, also the switch had a dodgy terminal, plus a wire going off to the indicator for the clearance lights had a bad connection. Also the relay was not earthed properly, and an earth pin inside the relay had popped off. A main feed wire had got hot and was badly distorted so it was repaired, suddenly all lights work and I can go get a RWC. The auto elects parting comment "I'd grab another relay if I were you this ones on its last legs....[8~2]
Bonnet cable was giving me grief as well. Those who went to SFS may have noticed orange rope holding down my bonnet. Now I can secure it down and pop it open from inside the car - and no more rope
