Rolling chassis on dummy struts. Engine and gearbox in , diff and shafts in ,tank ready to install, loom plugged in and engine spins on the starter. However still have an earthing problem eg indicators work but not headlamps--probe shows as 3 +ves at the main headlamp bulb
also cant get a spark at the plugs or leads--is there an easy way to test if the coil is working??
Some advice here would be appreciated

ps I have snipped out irrelevant parts of the loom and removed the fuses.
ppsI realise Im about to change the subject of this thread so please reply under electrics-- sorry

I saw somewhere probably ebay a guy selling paper or card templates for the roadster side panels. Not a bad idea when you hear how many people make a mistake on cutting these.
