I got hold of a Painless tech on the phone, I needed to put a 8amp 100PIV diode on the wire from the ballast resistor to the starter relay and jump the ING1 and ING2 terminals at the ignition switch, the diode prevents a current going from the coil to the stater motor, engaging it.

I didn't have a 8amp 100PIV diode the biggest I had was a 6amp 50PIV so I tried it with that and it works! The beast is alive again. I will replace the 6am diode with the correct 8amp one before I drive her anyware!

Now with that issue out of the way, time to move on the the next one!

Thanks for the help guys!
