Some progress at last!
Well, started back at work last week, so things can continue on the build. Today was a great milestone for me - Got the engine running!
Think it may be only running on 3 cylinders, but its hard to tell with a loose exhaust manifold and whilst keeping the engine running with the throttle (needs fully mapping still). But atleast it runs which is a start!  Video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oMx_HFOFP8M

Cheers guys.
Forgot to mention, i have an inline fuse holder going to the middle wire of the coil, which keeps blowing (5 amp fuses). Any ideas why? Something to do with the missfire?? (i took it out in the end as i only had 2 fuses)

Well done
Well done David, that is a huge milestone to reach
 You have certainly come a very long way in a short space of time. Apart from checking all of the wiring connections & plug leads, perhaps you will be able to find someone willing to share a basic map for your MS1  Sure you'll soon get it running spot on
