So.... Tidied up the loom as much as possible and I can also got the fan wired up with a bit of temporary wiring just to checked it worked. It comes on at 60 degrees which means its on all the bloody time. I'll hopefully be seeing Niall tomorrow evening to set it to a higher temperature.
Got in the car and drove to felixstowe. Wipers were juddering but thought it was a coincidence that the wiper motor was packing up. Went to leave to go to London and the lights were flickering, wipers stuck halfway and fog lights and indicators all half on. Pabiced for 5 minutes. Removed the fan relay in case I had wired it wrong but this caused no difference. Checked my wiring in the dark and found that the earth was loose on the drivers side. Tightened it up and everything is good again!
Drove to London with no further issues. Good first chance to test the night breakers and the AFR gauge. Night breakers are win. Need to properly adjust the headlights but I can definitely see more. The AFR seems to be good to and always 14.6 or below. Only place I noticed is cruising at 2k in 6th seems to produce 15 to 16 which isn't great but the revs rarely sit there.
Also it was the first real test with the gear linkages. Seem to be good and definitely a better feeling but not too much difference to normal.

All in all fairly happy with the car right now. Just a bit more tidying up to do and all should be good!
