Hey mate, nice car 
The brake warning light needs to be unplugged and plugged back in again in order to reset it.... I never figured out why but have had that on plenty of GLD's. The washer is about the most common mk1 electrical fault, i've found. It could be as simple as a dirty switch or as bad as a messed up fusebox, likewise with the lowbeams.
If both lowbeams are out and the fuses are OK, i'd look at the switch first.
