Blimey. Thanks for everyone’s help. The joys of Defender electrics. Once number plate wires had been reseated about 59 times, then taped to the nth degree, I found the amperage issue - wrong bulb fitted by previous owner. Explains the 5A fuse. It was a 21W bulb which accounted for the 1.75A draw. Having chased wires up and down the chassis all afternoon the correct bulb is now installed! Now need to book in for an MOT.
