9 months later I have finally got the car going, for the record it was the ballast resistor. For anyone who encounters this problem in the future don't listen to any f@$ker that tries to charge you $80 for one, they are $10 from autopro and literally take 60 seconds to replace.
After running the car for say 10 minutes, I switched it off and could hear a hissing noise, as if something was under a shitload of pressure. Discovered hot air blowing through the hose in the radiator overflow bottle and the radiator seems to be empty (strange as the car didn't overheat and has never overheated). Is that normal? Will simply filling the radiator with water rectify this issue? Cheers
