Heater first, it all works loverly nice and hot etc, but ive noticed in the warmer weather if i turn the heater down a nats then it goes completly cold through the upper vents although the windscreen and feet ones are still nice and warm any ideas?

Secondly the headlights, anyone have a diagram or pictures of how there meant to be mounted as mine are a bit of a dogs dinner with various different fittings also are headlight wipers n washers a mot fail?

Cheers

That's what it's supposed to do, but not just down from full heat. Probably someone's been playing with the bowden cable to the flap, or its out of adjustment some other way.

Not sure what you mean. Pics would help.
Headlamp wipers and washers are not a testable item ( at least they're not if you don't have HIDs), but since you own a BMW, they should work.

Are the heaters easy to adjust?
