Sorted the wiring gremlin out quickly & Mark suggested, fitting Exhaust, Filling with new Oil & then TRY & START IT . It fired up straight away & ran for a few seconds before Oil was spotted underneath. This gremlin was a mechanical one so not mine . Pete had fitted the Turbo when sorting my IC etc & although all looked OK the Oil return to sump pipe was not bolted to the Turbo it just looked like it was. Will probably have to remove Turbo to fit not sure yet.
Quick Test of all gauges & lights & switches showed all the new wiring was correct . Something we had not touched wasnt working though the Alternator warning light did not work when ignition was switched on. The circuit wont work with a duff or missing bulb so will check that on Friday it may have fallen out or more likely nicked when a bulb was needed .

Having a day off tomorrow but Friday should see the new Clutch cylinder fitted & the new pipes will be in on Monday & then its just replace a few parts & its ready to go next door to sort out Beam adjustments & Suspension Heights, MOT & its FINISHED.
Cant believe it .
Its always been insured but i wont tax it till 1st May.
I now need to think about clearing my Garage out its part storage & the Cossie half now has a running Machine & is my Gym.
