The work, (and questions) begin!
I have further investigated the temperature gauge problem, (reading in the red, despite everything else seeming fine). I have found the voltage stabiliser floating about on the shelf under the dashboard. Based on the diagram, it looks like the heating element part of it would not be working, (as without it being screwed to the van, this would not earth). This, (hopefully) explains why the temperature gauge climbed steadily and stayed very high during the trip home, (as the battery charged after a long period of little activity and the voltage across the gauge went above 10v)! It worked beautifully as a voltmeter!
Parts are beginning to arrive - more deliveries expected today, (including the leathercloth for the front seats)! Lots and lots to keep me busy!
