All I did was remove the brass slug from the stop solenoid valve, \ntickle the starter lead (there's a handy plug and socket beside the \nbattery for doing this) and ran about 40 miles with no electrics. Lack \nof brake lights was a bit scary, but the roads were quiet ;-)\n\nGordon\n", "attachments": [] }
