Well upon collecting the car I knew beforehand there was a wiring issue to address.
The car would only turn over but not fire /spark, the previous owner had tested various items and replaced, still no worky!

I decided to take the car upon collection to JKM and have them check out the faults.

After a few hours of stripping back the loom and working out why there was no spark, Greg found that the issue was the coil had been continually fed a live, ( I think this was the cause)
Thus a breakdown in the wiring had caused some funny business and also trashed the ECU. The wiring was replaced and thankfully a spare ECU was sourced, within half hour.
Cheers to SM from here for that

BIG THANKS to those PF members I text yesterday whom were helping source a replacement ECU or loan ones for me.
All should be rosy now though for the games to commence.

Car is currently at JKM were they will test everything and make sure all wiring is up together and then run the car through an MOT.

Hopefully it will all be ready to begin tinkering with shortly, as I have a few bits to fit and a few changes to the bling bling planned.


Cheers for the pics Hev , and thank you for helping push the car couldn’t of done that without your help.
