All is not lost - you now have nice clean earth points!!
Be assured, there will be people reading this and will recall a scenario they talked themselves into a root cause of an issue, that turned out to be something simple and obvious. ( I know I've done it. )
Pencil it in as the pressure from the deadline for your hols, then go enjoy the trip

Re: Failed mot on nearside headlight
by swapping the whole headlight would I not have ruled that out? I thought the only problem left would be the bulbs as that's the only difference between the two?
If it does turn out to be the bulbs at least I now know that crowns exist and that rust hasn't eaten away the front of the van yet!
Hopefully one day I can be the person answering questions rather than asking

True. But you didnt tell whether initial good lamp failed or not when plugged into other side.
Anyhow. Happy hols...and get a set of bulbs from Halfords. Are they H4's? Or the goldfish bowl style ones?
