After some further digging with the multimeter we may have isolated one of the electrical problems but need to try and identify where in the loom the problem comes from. The left hand headlight is fine on dip but the right one does not work and we have worked back through the wiring in the fuse box, switch and dip/main beam switch on the steering column. We have good continuity until the Blue/Red wire which feeds both headlamps on dip but splits before the fuse box and I have marked this on the two pics below (see arrow). But can anyone help in identifying where physically this split is made on the loom ? Any guidance would be much appreciated.

Hi, I have TR7 V8 conversion with some electrical issues and as the car is a recent purchase I do not not know much about its current state. I removed the dash as am hoping to install a new radio but there were no wires at all behind the radio or connecting the switches below it which are the cigarette lighter, dimmer and aerial (I I think) .
I believe my car has been fitted a FHC wiring loom as there is a rear heated screen switch with wiring in the dash but the car is a DHC. We were hoping to use the power supply from this to run the radio but there is no current running to the switch and not only that but there is also no current to the relevant fuse. It appears as fuse No4 on the diagram I have. (second from top right). We suspect that the loom running to the fuse box is not supplying power to this fuse and any advice on what to test or where to look next would be much appreciated.
I have also found after taking the dash off a couple of small lights which not attached to the car but look although they insert in to a panel on the dash but I cannot see any obvious slots for them. Any ideas on where they fit and if they are attached to a 'light switched' live or an ignition live ?

Do you need to remove the two shear bolts which hold the steering shaft on in order to get the dash out? If so, how do you get them out please ?
Water temp sensor issues

Hi, I am struggling to get my temp gauge working and suspect the sensor on my tr7 v8 and it is showing 1300ohms resistance when the engine is cold, is this in spec? Or could someone with a working temp system check theirs? Any guidance would be much appreciated.
