And check for continuity between cables from one end of loom to the other in case there is a break somewhere in the loom.

Easiest way to see if you have a short on a 12v DC. system is to check the fuse. If it isn't blown you don't have a short.
To check you don't have a break in the loom, connect the loom brown direct to one of the headlamp sockets, check the lamp and it's earth first.

Thanks to everyone who helped here. Finally got it sorted tonight.

A tough combination of faulty ignition/dodgy battery and none standard set up was cracked by my mate tonight. I would never have got it in a million years.
