Sorry guys, ended up getting sidetracked by other projects.

It's running! Well, sort of and only with some buggering about.

Terry was up last weekend and offered to take a look (bullied into it hehe). Lots of testing with the voltmeter, swearing, bypassing things with loose bits of wire etc, all the usual stuff.

The issues was found purely by accident; I was checking the dizzy and it appears the main jack plug had come loose, probably when we were replacing the brake servo. A stupid thing to miss really.

Still struggling to get 12 volts to the coil, but we're pretty sure this is due to the immobiliser. At least the main issue is sorted anyway.

Massive thanks to Terry and a video of him being the hero

Definitely no supply to coil?
Still not clear to me from the "update"?
No, me neither.
One hesitates to say it, but... always start with the basics before getting sidetracked into the (mostly) irrelevant.
