Hi All,

I,m back, I won,t go into a lengthy comment but would like to thank you all for your amazing support in the last few days, & all the PM messages, my inbox is full & i will reply to each & everyones message, please bear with me.

Right.......

Yesterday I spent what i can only describe what was a fantastic day working on my car, Thanks to Spud,s help, I,ve now got my car back at my mothers garage as i,m spending alot of time there ( personal family stuff reasons ), anyways.....Spud dropped my car off at about 9am yesterday morning ( Thanks Spud) & i spent the whole day working on it, yesterday i did the following....

mock fitted the rad ( need to make permanent brackets)
cut the coolant hoses to correct length
fitted the new rad fan purchased at stoneleigh
fitted & plumbed in the oil catch tank purchased at stoneleigh
Tidied up the wiring ( enclosing it in the split conduit stuff)
mounted the relays & fuse box to the engine bulkhead

with info from "Marks" IVA feedback i,m now wondering where / how to site the "secret" master kill switch, it is fitted into the electrics & works a treat but not sure where to conceal it.

Whilst fiddling with the electrics I must have somehow disturbed a connection as when i tried to start it = it would turn over but wouldn,t fire
I must,ve spent a good 2 hours looking for the reason to this
found a stray wire with a spade connector....hhmmmm " this must fit somewhere" ....finally worked it out, fitted this wire into where i thought it belonged ( i must say " me & electrics don,t mix" ), turned the key & whaheeeyy she is purring like a cat, albeit a noisy one.......must make up my exhaust system

all in all a very productive day

cheers
andy
