Re: electrical faults
well check all fuses first, then make sure you have atleast 12.5vdc at the battery terminals, use the diagram below to trace wires, and check with a test light as you go. let me know!

Re: electrical faults
That diagram is excellent, it shows the connectors
A common cause of the high beam warning light illuminating whilst on dipped beam is a poor ground. If you have a poor ground on the headlight when dipped beam is selected current will flow through the highbeam filament causing the warning light to come on. You dont mention whether or not you have dual or single headlamps no worries tho, disconnect the 3 pin connector/s from the bulb or bulbs. Ignition OFF grab a multimeter set it to 200 Ohms, put one probe on the ground Black wire in the 3 pin connector put the other probe on the battery negative, repeat on the other 3 pin connector if you have dual headlamps, if you get a reading you have a poor ground. Check the connectors shown in the diagram for corrosion.
The indicators since your in Wales I assume you mean the flashers/turn signals don't work if so find the flasher relay (The most common cause of all 4 indicators not working) its behind the left rear side panel. Disconnect the 5 pin connector from it, short the Brown and Brown/White wires with a split pin or short length of wire, switch the ignition ON, switch on either indicator if they illuminate but don't flash the flasher relay is @ fault and needs replacing.
I had the same problem with my neutral light it was a corroded connector. This is off the top of my head (I solved my issue 2 years ago). Theres a 2 pin connector just below the fuel tap, your looking for a Sky Blue wire check that connector for corrosion. HTH
