The yellow connector was tucked away under the drivers side wheel arch,think its a connector for one of the horns.
The other looks like an earth strap that i think was for the wing aerial,which i have disconnected.Its looked like that since the day i bought the car.

Not sure about the yellow plug, But the other is an earth strap, Not sure but i think thats for the heated washer jets or something along them lines, if i remember correctly. Theres also a main earth on the gearbox "Underneath i think"  :rolleyes:

I think that yellow plug goes to your headlight dim dip resistor,earth strap connects to the bonnet they always break ,its to reduce fm interferance.
