Well a rather eventful day all round !
First job was get the engine cranking - put in a extra wire with a crocodile clip on the end and connected to the soleniod wire on the starter motor.
Got the video camera out and shot the results - the engine cranked without any problems!!!
Next job ..... put the plugs, leads and distributor cap on and see what happens ....
and.....
it sort of started ......
then died !!!
No matter what it would not idle at all.
Logic then kicked in ...... I spotted I still had the immobiser on - doh !!!!!
Immobiliser off .....
Started first time !!!!!
HURRAY !!!!!!
Some of you wanted some video footage of the event so here it is on You Tube ....

(you may have to wait a bit until its approved by You Tube)
Also sorted out the starter problem - it was the relay in the fuse box that was causing the problem - so it means it starts from the button and that I don't have to take the dash out to find the fault - another HURRAY !!!
However a couple more problems have surfaced now the engine is running ! Firstly the oil cooler unions are leaking oil - these need a bit of a tweak ! Secondling there is quite a trickle of coolant coming from the back of the block somewhere near the starter under the inlet manifold and thirdly the alternator charge warning box on the digidash is flashing.
I have already sorted the pipes but the alternator problem and the leak are on the list of jobs to sort.
Enjoy the footage !

Brill Car, Brill Vid...
Very good vid Joff, you should go into TV!!
Good work, hope the water leaks an easy fix. Possibly just a jublie clip needing tightened at the rear!

Cool little vid. had some downloading issues at 4min20ish & heard the 'wahey' after it fired about 11 times now. Actually quite funny.
Get some lube on the threads of the jubilee clips that are leaking, you'll get more turns on them & thus they go tighter.
Top stuff, glad we will have this on the stand at PV.
Outstanding joff bet that was an extremely happy moment for you, very impressed as always, she getting close now im getting giddy and excited for you lol!!
