ok it would seem that the whole car works. except for the fact that......the engine management light does not light or anything. to initalise!
now my mechanic has told me he is not sure if he connected back up the starter motor earth!
would this cause the engine to not wanna play ball?

im hopeful its that. he said he took it off to play around with the exhaust. and isnt sure if he reconnected it...
so surely without the starter motor ground the engine would b dead to the world?

it plugs the wiring in to the rear of the clocks
at first we had to use sme special grease to make a better contact
now you need to rewire the plug
but it may not be the fault if you had a previously running car and have had a mechanic working on it
then maybe its something he has done/not done

would this make the engine non responsive?
this is the first time the engine has been attempted to start! so thinkin u may be right. where and how do i rewire this plug?
do i need one from a 1.8? if i got a bcm from a 1.8 would this help?
u got msn dude. u seem to know ur stuff!
