well the latest is....
seems that one of the wires to the ECU from the crank was hanging on by a thread, ordered new ECU plug pins which have now arrived and Chris is going to re-solder and we'll try that. Hopefully that's the cause....will update more in due course.

Well done, although I am a bit surprised you even remembered where you had left the car since you drove it last. Maybe the bloke with the metal detector found it for you

haha, reminds me of a certain chap who bought a magnetic GB sticker for his Westie :lol: :lol: :lol:

Well riddle me this, umpteen bits changed/tested/changed/tested and nary a spark nor a glimmer of life. Calls to DTA for ecu help, more testing, still not a glimmer.....and then miracle of miracles, a burp, a hiccup, a fart and the old gal ( the car I mean not Mrs G ) sprung to life.
More miracles followed.....when we turned it off and tried to restart it.......and it fired up again.

Upside.....a running car. Just some wiring to tidy back up following the testing, an alternator bolt to fit and should be ready to rock n roll.

Good new Mark, do you what it was ? or was it combination of things ?
Hopefully see you out at the weekend.
