Shame your not in Hayes still. I'd pop in with my battery tester.
The power wire is connected exactly how the HDi one was with the main battery wire via a crimp on terminal (used the bench vice) straight from battery to starter motor so I know the live is spot on so if its not getting the power to turn over then the problem in the circuit MUST to be on the return to the battery and thus the earths. I have a bit of a suspicion that its a combination between the front earths and the back earths so I'm going to have an even more thorough go at stripping the paint off the rear earths and add another couple of earths at the front and possibly at the rear too.
Oh and sorry about the lack of photos, the computer is still without its hard drive.
