It's been a slow job getting this far with one or two little problems - a crank bolt that we couldn't remove and an oil filter that we ended up taking off bit by bit - but our little Trooper is looking rather super now compared with when she was rescued. Thanks to Mark Thorpe for helping solve the electrical problems that prevented her starting and to Geri for pointing out that the odd switch we found 'might just be an immobiliser...' after Mark and I were convinced all the electrics were sorted and tested and still perplexed over her failure to start. Thanks also to Haynes for providing a wiring diagram that seems to be for a different car.... Just need to finish working on the front brakes now....
