Right.
Battery seems sorted.👍
Car starts, and runs smoothly.👍
I now have indicators and headlights pop up when turning on from the stalk 👍
I now need a new windscreen wiper motor (again) and I should be ready to put Ronin in for MoT and get a new list of stuff generated for me to fix! (Full pads and discs still sat here in anticipation).
At this rate I'll be on the road before Zoona's 'Baby Car'!

I think it was actually plugs and tuner studio settings. I had the battery fully charged each time and I haven't replaced it (It threw a fault on my CTEK charger at stage 5 when I tried to recharge it after the last discharge when I left the lights on, but after a reset it has now fully charged and held it over three days). I was over-fuelling on priming, but also had a weak spark. TBH I have changed a lot so it could have been ANYTHING or EVERYTHING  |

I can't believe how fast you seem to get things done on your car mate! Where do you find all the free time?   Just realised I have a snapped manual window winder cable as well. Grrrrreat! |

It seems I have more chance of pulling Gal Gadot than I have of getting a Na10 849100-5281 (long bracket) wiper motor. . .

I already tried to rebuild the one I have, but the internals are different to later ones. Didn't work. Need a replacement. It's totally dead.
