Sorry to hear that Tim, while the bingo is a very good vehicle when running, it can be a right pain when it starts to go wrong
If its the similar fault i.e comes on after while and no other issues then it could well be a insulation fault.
I'm wondering if its a damp problem ??
I must admit I'd be tempted to start carrying out insulation resistance checks on the system with something like 500vdc insulation resistance instrument.
HOWEVER ONLY DO THIS IF YOU REALLY KNOW WHAT YOUR DOING
If you do go down this route I hold no responsibility for damage to the vehicles wiring or electrical system so if anyone blows stuff up doing it you cant blame me
At the very least you will need to take the controller out of circuit, its really only going to tell you stuff like the cables and interconnects are OK, you should be able to check the motor as well but again you need to know what your doing with the instrument
