sl;

...happy to hear you were able to figure it out and return it to oe...but I'm wondering, and rather disappointed that an "1800 specialist" would make changes (and questionable ones), and cut corners like that... Changes need to have a specific, substantiating, good reason (and "wire was too short" is not one!)!

Cheers

Clearly not so specialist in the dark art of electricity.

Is this still character building?

Ha ha! Well if not character building, it certainly honed my investigative skills. Am still wonder why/how they made such a mess of it. Kind of made a problem out of nothing.

Tomorrow is oil changing, which I'm dreading a bit. Filter always a hassle to get off and will be more so now I have 4 into 1 manifold.
