It's unlike me, but I'm sick of this project now and I'm going to offer it up for sale to anyone who thinks they can fix it.
I unpacked my new ECU, Key transponder and immobiliser unit, and installed it all in the car today. Not a sod of difference I'm afraid. Still no EML and No spark. So - I change the engine management loom which involved lots of crawling about. No joy. same symptoms. I put some fresh earth straps on the body and engine - no difference.
Then checked all connections, and went back inside the cabin. I noticed that JUST the EML was on! I then looked at the engine bay, and to my horror my New ECU had somehow fallen across the battery terminals and had caused a short. So that's probably buggered now.
Even though there are no lights at all on the dash (engine still turns over) - I can still hear the relays making a noise in the ECU box.
Although the car is mint, this has gone far enough for an N reg 2.0, it's cold and dark early, and I've given up - if there are no magic suggestions, it will be sold as scrap tomorrow

I used to get my hands caked in oil, but now I am really careful and wear rubber gloves before I even open a bonnet.
Its not good for you to keep getting hands covered.
100 latex gloves for £6, works wonders!

I didn't realise you were doing this mate!! Give me a shout if you need a pair of hands.
As an aside, have you still got that spare HBV? It may turn out that I need one, if so, fancy some pound notes for it?

Chrismas is a merry time,
Unless you are a turkey.
And if you are you will find,
That life is very murky.
The day will come, when you can't run,
You're full of stuffing, up your bum,
Into the oven you will go,
When you come out, you'll look like a crow,
It's late, I'm drunk, can't think of anymore. Someone finish it off?!

I'm going to have a look on my Rota in the next hour and send him a date. I'll ask him if you can come along, I'm sure he'll be more than happy though.
If we can't work something out, I'm happy enough to pop down on another occasion, this time I can make the tea, and you can do the operation
