Check Engine earth strap and main 12v feed to starter. Possibly a faulty ignition barrel. You need someone with a meter to help you out. Regards Peter

situation now is as follows, I have disconnected the ign barrel assembly at the 3 plug connectors, by making a small link connector I can now get ign and glowplug lights etc on but I cant get the engine to turn over however if I short out the starter motor solenoid to main power lead it turns over and starts and runs fine. I thought that as by-passing the ign switch gave me ign lights that was where the problem lay but a replacement switch made no difference. I t will however still start if I hotwire it in the manner described. Any help appreciated.

When you fitted the new ignition switch did anything operate that didn't before? This still sounds like an ignition switch problem, was the one you fitted new?

It is possible that there is one power supply missing to the ignition switch.If I recall there are 2 into the large wiring connectors.Take a look in the engine bay fuse box,next to battery,especially the green 30amp fuses.hth

The ignition switch was second hand, and there was nothing else working everything just the same! i will check the fuses in the engine bay box when i get some day light its getting worse my demisters have stopped working and my interier clock is going hay wire. but thought this could be with me wireing it all the time to start it anyway thanks for your suggestions guys!!!
