Gotta 106 - it did start but now wont start!  Cleaned the engine bay with
Jizer and a little water - jug of water rather than bucket or hosepipe. Now
it won't start - has been left overnight in garage to dry off  any possible
water ingression.

Not too sure if I pressed the red button for the fuel cut-off. Engine turns
over nicely. How does this red cut-off button work - is it one press to turn
fuel on and another to turn it off???

Will also need to check whether plugs are sparking. will do that later.

any logical ideas please folks?

Almost certainly got water in teh ignition, take off the leads, dissy cap
ETC, (make sure you note the order first!) dry out as best as possible using
rags, then spray all round with WD40.

Pressing it reconnects it after it has been tripped by an impact.
You cannot disconnect it by pressing.

Thanks,
Have looked at the obvious - plugs are dry, no dist cap as it's got a block
thingy which the HT leads go into & these are dry.  Checked the lead that
plugs into the block and the connectors are dry. Have looked and pried and
dried and sprayed WD40 around obvious connectors. Will let it dry out some
more then try again this evening.

When ignition is turned to first position or so (before turning engine over)
there is a clicking noise from the ecu box (on front LHSide of the engine
bay as you look at it) and a whirring noise for a second or so from
somewhere else.

Think that I need to take a plug out and check for a spark BUT they are the
deepset ones and I'll need to get a socket thingy for it ;-(

now dried out - just when I thought that it gets exciting again and have fun
attacking the distributor cap again and trying to dry it all out

at least it goes and the engine works first time.

thanks for a help folks
