Fantastic. Bet it was those swappable connectors.

Be driving past you soon Nas, weather forecast tomorrow is for showers so taking wets and the R888's. Slicks are too much effort to lug over there on the off chance.

Just tried my new relays, and still no joy.

Basically the only way I can start the car is by bridging the relays. Does anyone have any suggestions?

I'll be working on it all day tomorrow and I want to try and get it going with the relays. Bodges make me sad.

Anyone handy with wiring around Manchester way tomorrow? :)
