Update:
I figured out the draw on my battery and it was so silly, the key was getting stuck in the start up position so it was drawing power as if starting when I was driving, also why the instrument cluster and windscreen wipers had stopped working. I installed a brand new 100amp alternator and it's working perfectly.
Drove around 70 miles today and it went perfectly apart from one of the little dayligth running lights and a tail light stopping working but I'm confident they're easy fixes. Hoping to replace the head gasket and apply some of the insulation matt I've bought to the footwells and firewall.
I've got new floor matts on the way and hopefully picking up some van sides to replace the rattly and leaky rear windows soon.
This car really is starting to become a nice place to be.
Edit: Also spotted a really lovely 130 double cab pickup in dark blue.
