Got the engine going at last and brakes freed off so was able to drive it at last out of the field its sat in for last 12 years up to my garage, not without more fuel drama, (fuel leaks) got new HP fuel pipe from Burtons and will be fixing.
Garage jobs now complete, Got all rear lights functioning by making up supplementary earths and cleaning bulb holders and contacts, changed engine oil / filter/ air filter/ cleaned icv, new gearbox earth on order, need to get exhaust downpipe off for welding small holes, prepared rot around front screen for paint caused by clumsy screen replacement in past.
Work is so much easier in the garage!
