    It’s the big multi plug to the whole lamp unit, 6 pin I think, re earth of the 3 pin plug for the H4 headlamp bulb (on the bulb itself) resolves all issues. So I’m going to try to go back into the loom to try to find the break or poor earth

    Right, I promised you an update, and I’ve got one XD I took the lens covers off all the back lamps, and found nothing untoward. So I checked the fronts and found nothing either. I found a lot of wettness in the rear tailgate; along with rusty screw clips and body corrosion near the door handle...

    Ah right thanks, I’ll have a look, it came with the car so we never fitted it, looks like a neat ome so may have been factory. Is there a standard plug or is it piggyback stuff? I’ll try and get a look this morning. Again thanks for both your help :)

I recently had an issue with my metro, where the engine kept running when my headlights were on and brake pressed, took me ages to work out it was actually led stop/tail bulbs back feeding the fuel pump.
