Bit difficult to check spark on your own......
Earth lead looks secure and i added another just in case.

I haven't also tried a different ECU but will next time i'm up there.

It's looking like the TDC.....

come on all you london boys theres enough of you living close to jon nit round and get it going for him. im sure it just needs somebody with good diagnostic skills and it should be back on the road. once you've driven the car again you'll forget all about selling it :D :D :D
have you tried taking all the plugs out, cleaning them,crank the engin over for a good 30 seconds,refit the plugs and then try to start it,remember when you do your battery must be fully charged they need a lot af power to kick it back to life.if you've got fuel,a spark it should fire.
try it it worked for me and my had'nt run for 7 years :shock:
good look sorry i can't help any more but i live in yorkshire :cry:

If you are still looking for something a little quicker and more reliable how about this:

He has a Noble M12 in stock too so you can do a direct comparison

BTW Ben do you still need the steering wheel delivered if the car is for sale. Mr MVS would be happy to reimburse you...

100% reliable Every day driving and I can put you in touch with cheap servicing too :wink: I am thinking about this car more and more 10000 times better than an Italian automobile. Problem is no space for Mini Dini.
