After reading a few posts about banjo bolts i decided to have a go at wire locking them. (many thanks to gerry for the workshop demonstration on wire locking, plus the loan of tools). I also wanted to clean up the rocker covers and plenums and get rid of any rust and that horrible gold varnish.
Whilst at Gerry's i was given a tour of his engine bay and subsequently decided to go a bit over the top with the clean up.

thanks guys. it does look good (imo). just struggling to get it started after 7 months off road. don't seem to be getting any voltage to the throttle bodies (they should hum/buzz when ignition at stage 2, right?). any ideas? tested the relay and tried another throttle body.

Check the fusible links in the boot, especially the one hidden beneath the black heatshrink.

I'm not getting any voltage to the feed side of the relays. checked the fusable links and that ok. any suggestions welcome!!!

Since you've had the manifolds off, check that you have refitted the earth straps under the bonnet to the engine.

I checked for continuity between the throttle bodies and the main earth earlier today and got nothing (open circuit). I tested another 8 series and got continuity from one bank, but not the other, which i thought was odd. I don't remember taking any earth straps off, but it was several months ago. Where exactly are the earth straps?
