Yes it is

Four hour drive one way for me

If you need 417 parts let me know ? I'm sure we will be crossing the border again soon

You get to the root cause by asking questions. Why does that not apply to this case?

Q: Car won't start, why?
A: Oxygen, Fuel, Spark.

Connecting an known to an unknown. The basis of root cause analysis.

Have you thought about throwing an
Arduino or maybe a Raspberry Pi at it?

You can also find a speed signal at the
back of the radio, if that helps. It gives
the HU speed for Auto Volume Control.
Black/Yellow, IIRC.

Next big targets are the headliner, ac clutch shimming, and a trailer hitch.

The headliner and ac shim should be ok, but you don’t want to crash into a trailer hitch

If the brake master cylinder leaks into the booster you don't see it you only smell it. It takes a long time to fill up the booster before you will see anything!

Hopefully it is a flexi-hose of some sort that is accessible.

It is always annoying when it is the simplest of things which we don't always check first. That is my modus operandi for electrical work!

The important thing is you found it! Well done!

Neil.

Hopefully good news on both fronts now! Long may it continue.

Maybe buy a lottery ticket as the stars seem to be aligned!!

Again, well done. Starters are or can be a devil to get aligned and fitted. The ones I have removed recently were from 99/00 years and they had 2 x 15mm bolts on the motor and a 12 or 13mm on the rear bracket. I have found different ones though fitted on other cars over the years which is weird. The...

Al, thank you so much for demystifying all that stuff on the circuit board! Do you think in the early stage of failure, when the relay contacts are not solidly closed (but still delivering adequate power to the pump for the car to run) that the sort of random square wave output from the relay could...
