check the mechanical connectionts to the wiper system, when you operate them can you hear the sound of the motor? regarding the heater, chack your water system level and also that you definatly have antifreeze!

Have you blown a fuse? The fusebox on a Mk1 Metro is behind the switches to the right of the steerin column. The whole switch panel is hinged. Undo two screws and it drops down. The fuses are the same glass ones a Mini uses.

There's a pressure valve thing on the left hand side of the engine as you look in the bonnet.
take it apart, and make sure it's nice and clean as if there's crap in there it can cause issues.

Does the light come on while driving straight, or round RH corners?
