There appeared to be no problems with any of the readings, so I gave it some caveman maintenance and jiggled all the wires a bit!

I'll probably change the ignition switch before the winter - it's alright to hang around waiting to start the car in lovely sunny weather, but it won't be any fun in pouring rain and icy temperatures! absgt 1997 9000 CSE 2.3 LPT
