It turned out to be some bad connections in the wiring and it now works as it should, thank you to all for taking the time to help Rgds John

Ok… so the only thing that stops the signal to the ignition is if the internal relay is activated by either the doors or the bonnet/ boot becoming active. Once the car has started then I guess the relay is activating and cutting the ignition feed?

The plan is to get the rear arms, all the drop links and anti roll bar bushes and a rear axle carrier first, then do the lot in one hit. I got a set of bolts with the front arms, but may use bmw ones. I’ve had a good look underneath the rear end, and the axle carrier is rather rusty, so will either get a new one or get one in reasonable condition from a breakers and have it stripped and powder coated with new bushes. Im gonna price up having the bodywork on the chassis around the rear stripped back, etch primed and a couple of coats of Por 15 on, as there is some rust that has gotten underneath the factory coating, and if I catch it now, it won’t return.

While I can't help with the wheels. Cracking colour, loving the shine. Pro job?
