Ok all the wires are attached apart from the brown/yellow diagnostics, all earths are on, charging loom connected but I do remember having to cut out the black/red wire from charging loom coz it looked melted?? I cut it back as far as I could then soldered a new wire in its place bypassing the charging loom plug...that's the only dodgy wire I had....the starter motor sparks when I short it out?? I never fitted the charging loom and starter it was already on and engine when I bought the car!! The engine defiantly runs as I have seen it before it got put in the car??

put ignition on, bench test the starter and it should fire up. or tow it off

yes
from your other thread, there should be a thin red/black wire that goes from ign switch to the terminal on the starter
which would explain it not cracking or priming, pretty sure the XE primes on cranking

Got a new 1 2day, no different, it's as if there's no live going to the relay?? It's connected up to the loom as the guides say to do but I'm left with a thick red wire coming out of the fuel pump relay, should this b connected and have 12 v init??
