Seems to have power everywhere and the globes work but when all plugged in. No go. Seems to me could be an earth but nothing seems out of place
Not familiar with the Mk1 but if its the same as the Mk2 there are a couple of plugs at the front of the loom, near where the headlight wiring goes through the inner wing.
They are a rubber coated, 4 pin plug, wires quite often fracture inside the plug and will fail or work intermittently.
