Firstly thanks for advice regarding lowering she now sits 35mm lower all around HUGE THANKS GUYS ,
! Sadly my joy was short lived as today I decided fit hella magic colours , replace steering rake adjustment mechanism as mine was shot and also to replace black cap at rear of ignition as at some point it had been removed and just had spade end connectors directly to back of the switch . So lights in with no issues :smiley: onto steering column again nice n easy no issues :smiley: finally a quick trip down the scrap yard cut out black multiplug at back of ignition with enoughbwire to join to my existing wiring I had hoped a simple plug n play easy job leaving me the day free to give her a bath n polish ! Nope I was very wrong since 10am this morning ive been tryin get her running but absolutely nothing turns over wont fire :sad: here is list of things working and not working hopefully will assist in hopefully a diagnosis and cure ??
FUEL PUMP DOES NOT PRIME WHEN DOOR OPENS
CENTRAL LOCKING WORKS FINE FROM KEYFOB AND DOOR LOCK
IF KEY HELD OPEN WINDOWS GO DOWN HELD SHUT THEY RISE
NO IGNITION LIGHTS AT ALL ONLY SPEEDO READING AND TIME
STEREO HAS LOST CODE
INTERIOR LIGHTS AND PUDDLE LIGHTS WORK OK
WITH IGNITION AT II WINDOWS WONT WORK FROM SWITCHES
HEADLIGHTS SIDELIGHTS FOGS ALL OK
FRONT & REAR WIPERS WORK AS NORMAL
HEATER BLOWER WORKS AS NORMAL
CRANKS OVR NICELY BUT DOESNT EVEN ATTEMPT TO FIRE IN
Ive tried the following things to try and cure it ............
Replaced all fuses in car and under bonnet
Ive checked all plug connections are tightly together and clean
Ive put pos and neg terminals together to drain electrical system
Ive checked clock connections all fine as have not been removed
Ive tried undoing and redoing everything ive done and checking after every plug removed and refitted
Moved steering rake to different positions
Put old steering volumn back then removed again
Same with rear lights
Swapped battery for new one
Swapped battety in keyfob for new one
Ive now done all I can think of and have spent around 14 hours non stop trying to get her running but no matter what I tried its failed I even tried sweet talking it and shouting at it
Ive prayed ive begged promised all sorts of lovely items but still she just lies there motionless still pretty but no fun at all !!
PLEASE PLEASE HELP I AM AT MY WITTS END AND SIMPLY HAVE NO IDEA WHAT ON EARTH IS WRONG
Many many thanks in advance :)

thats where the problem lies
no lights on dash are a give away.
