Exactly what I did...as in:
"Negative to mounting plate, Positive to ignition terminal, no healthy clunk, no continuity between the threaded terminals."
You are right....bloody ridiculous!
Looks like you'll find me queuing in the post office, parcelled up solenoid in hand, tomorrow. Just hope I don't get too held up by the old codgers collecting their pensions, this pensioner will be in a hurry.
