I will list all my electrical problems and see if you can help with any. Cheers
Car is mk1 with mk2 dash and digital clocks.

1) When you change between dipped and main beam, or just switch the lights on, the wiper goes for one motion.
2) When you try and start, instead of the starter motor turning, ALL the indicators come on and stay on as well as the main beam warning light on the dash.
3) sometimes, over a big bump, i will blow the fuse for the cig. lighter. Which also means i loose my digital clocks and my stereo.

The car is currently sitting on my drive. I should be at work but can not till it gets fixed. So please HELP!

Sounds like you have a bad earth somewhere, check out all your earths around the engine bay and inside.
