Again, 1000 thankyous Ciclo,
New extraction tools should be here tomorrow. (same as you recommended)
Do you know the wire sizes mm2 on those repair wires?

I am going to visit the car breakers yard this week and see if I can get some parts and will have a look for a couple of
those relay holders and cut some wiring for repair wires.
I might have a new windscreen sorted out.
Before I get going with the next part of my plan, I thought I would ask some questions and run it past you if thats ok...
1) Is there anything else you think is worth me doing while I have the van in bits?
Would it be feasible or desirable to run any other wires and further integrate this BCM with other systems?
eg. Could I run wires from the BCM to the rear lights (at the connection points under the seat), Any benefits to this?
I think I need to run a wire from BCM to reverse signal under the seat anyway so things like this wouldn't take long if it had any benefit? (I have factory fit trailer electrics in case this effects anything) (already has multi function steering wheel)
2) When I fit the ALWR loom, it requires connection to BCM T73 B18 & B19 (can high/low?). Could I run these to join at the points behind the instrument cluster where I Isolated the T32 wires when i fitted the twisted yellow black wires from the bcm? I think these are the same signal. Diagram 146/13.
*Edit this is what I will do.
3) I need help with the wires in the original H4 halogen loom. (wiring diagram 183/7).
In the right headlamp loom i see that the Yellow cable goes from fuse SB27 to T10ap/6 (56b) low beam. And a white wire goes to T10ap/8 (56a) high beam, so- Yellow low beam, white high beam.
In the xenon wiring diagram (146/8) it is the same. - yellow low beam, white high beam.
(replicated on left side light but fuse SB5 and different colours).
If I was to isolate original SB27 and SB5 and run new wires direct from BCM to xenon T14/6 for low beam, is this going to effect anything else? Would I still need to add a signal to make low beam stay on when high beam is activated?
*Edit - I see that i will still need the high beam signal and will look to see if I can take it from E4 dip/flash switch T41/39
4) I am also going to isolate the original DRL fuses SC12 SC14 (and old T17/3) and reuse these locations for the +30 feed to the BCM T73B/3, T73B/5. (change to 30amp fuses) Then run new wires from bcm to drls.
The reason for 3 & 4 above is because the original loom has been damaged and modified by a previous owner/garage when they incorrectly fitted the xenons.
5) I am thinking of running another +30 feed from SA fuse box (6mm2). This would be so I have a point behind the relay carrier and BCM so I can easily add further additions in the future (dash camera,USB sockets etc). I would use the clip on fuse holder to fit into the relay cage and there is an earth point near by too. I would also utilise the spare +15 from T17 to have a further ready made +15 feed. (ALWR, rain sensor).
If I do this I can also use this new +30 fuse holder to feed the new Auto lights relay pin 3 (which would be next to it).
