Not sure on the white and blue connectors, but the switch looks like an add on. Can you see what the relay is powering?
 
Yea the switch is aftermarket want to put it back to standard , will chase the wires further when time allows
 
It's like that is it? My 90 was the same when I got it, started off as a petrol V8 then someone put a diesel V8 in (that's when I got it). Had loads of unnecessary wires all over the place and holes in the dash where switches/guages were. Ripped it all out and rewired it all moving the fuse box under the bonnet
 
Still struggling with this mystery relay and aftermarket switch traced the brown and white wire to the fuse box look like it does nothing

Cheers I did have a look at the Haynes manual wiring diagrams but couldn’t see any thing with them colours
 
Have look at the window heater relay diagram, it's probably on a separate page.

Don't understand why that brown/white wire is linked to both sides of the fuse holder, would have thought the left hand side wire in your picture should go off to the unit its powering

(NW is brown white)
Have you got a white/black disconnected wire floating around the fuse box area somewhere? This would be from the heater element.
 
I’ll have a look tommorrow thank u for the pic much appreciated but wg is white green which I also don’t have
 
Not knowing history of vehicle but judging by crimp connectors it's had major interference and could have had a partial portion of the loom replaced from another Defender
