the two main contacts? My will always start on this if the ignition packs in!
See folks, I can talk serious.........occassionally!!!
Cheerio

ps, In mine without O/D engaged 3500rpm is about 60mph, but I can't remember if
you lot over there had a different diff, Oh know, I'm sounding like an
anorak!!!! :-)
