makes sense...the lights did flicker when turning right on some bends before they went off
when you say a break in one of the wires...do you mean just the headlight wires, or could it be any of the wires causing the trip?
(appreciate you help up to now fezzasus)
I know a few people have had issues with wires corroding at the fuse box.
..mine were corroded at front, under wheel arch..flickered, went off, flickered went off, then stayed off, especially over bumps...changed wiring all ok..(not easy or cheap though)

I might spray the whole thing with ACF50 now just to make sure of it.
I've done just that, to all exposed connectors (especially the fusebox and relay bases) annually for the last 4 years.

Whoa. A bit of caution required. If you have a break / intermittent contact then a spark will ignite the wd40. Be very sure of where you are spraying it.
As above try giving the loom a bit of a tug / shake around the fuse box with the lights on to see if it does cause a flickering.
thining about it, it did yesterday briefly...
then after messing about a little more and moving the car they came to life

that's kind of a good sign. It gives you a possible indication of where the fault may be. Focus on that area and try to close down the issue. Chances are the more you follow it, the more likely you will see something that is causing it.
ill report back later today
