Rover 25 diesel electical help required?

I have a number of small problems on the car, a 2001 model.
1. Heater fan does't work on position 1; I can fix it myself, but where is the resistor bank located?!!

2. Boot light doesn't work, again a location problem! Where is the "tailgate is open" switch located?

3. Rear window heater element has resistance >2000 ohms (and doesn't work), surely it should be more like 10 ohms. No clear evidence of broken tracks - but if any are found is conductive paint useful in its repair?

4. VERY occasionally (about once every 4 months) both the tachometer and speedometer needles plunge down to zero, only to restore themselves within a few seconds, without any interference from me. The display of tripmeter/odometer also reverts to odometer if I've had it on trip function. I have no comment on the temperature and fuel gauges as it usually happens so quickly.
Any ideas as to the possible causes?

Hi

I just fixed my rover 25 heater speed. take the glove box out, 2 screws, and you can see rester pack, this comes out with 2 screws too.
I bought a ceremic resistor pack off ebay, it came with intruction on how to fit and how to remove glove box etc. all you need is a screw driver and soldering iron. it cost about £5 for the resitors. only take 5 minutes.

window heater, is it just one line that does not work? if so any breaks can be very hard to spot. You need to go along with a test lamp (with a very sharp point), make sure heater is on, connect one end to the heater connection on the boot, and go along sticking the pint in to the line until the lamp does not light up, you have then found your break. then use the paint that you mentioned.
Not sure about the speedo problem, i can only this of a loose electrical connection.

hope this help
