yeah thanks rich, i did pull the switch and test it all, only had 6v going into the switch which i fault was odd, will get a wireing diagram so i can chase the pump wire back to the sorce and check all things on the way

battery i have no idea if it is a silver cadium one or not, got it last year new and use it in the mk1 escort (when it lives)

just looked up the cost of a haynes manual, £20 now, dont think i have payed more than £5 before, including a mk1 escort twincam/rs manual
