Re: Missing part
Best bet would be to contact a breaker, its a small part and probably not worth listing on its own and its only going to come from a broken vehicle;
These companies do a range of spares, not all will have everything so try them all;
For smaller parts its probably best to ring companies as not all ...

Re: Mot fail

Just seeing the written notice really isn't sufficient as it merely identifies the areas rather than the actual degree of corrosion.
The headlight aim and rear fog lamp are all easily adjusted/replaced.
Do you not have a local garage you use on a regular basis for normal service ...

Re: ABS dash light will not go out
Not sure about rust, the parts are exposed obviously underneath so might be worth taking a look and cleaning them if you have access to them under the vehicle.

These companies do a range of spares & repairs, not all will have everything so try them all;
For smaller parts its probably best to ring companies as not all the smaller parts make it on to the web sites!

Re: Leisure battery set up
Its quite possible that the two +ve connections running to the rear of the van might just in affect be in parallel, running two smaller cables is often a lot easier than trying to run one thicker cable thru the vehicle.
