Having had wiring changes made by fitment of an alternator I would check the integrity of the modifications.

Well guys, you were right it was an earthing problem. After much hunting and frustration my mechanic found a couple of wires behind the dash that had poor grounds- the bolts had worked their way out so no contact was being made.

Lesson learned about Lotuses and their quirks for a guy who has mostly worked on MGs and Triumphs over the years....

Thanks again to all for your suggestions.

Happy motoring!
