have you just dissengaged the starter inhibitor switch at the gear selector?
i think you have to follow the wiring back to where it joins the main loom where you will find it connects to two plugs,unplug both from the inhibitor loom and you should be able to plug these into each other and this will bypass the inhibitor circuit
No longer self employed but still available for welding duties.

Remove panel above glovebox to expose wiring. Locate two single plug and sockets with black/yellow wires going to them.
Disconnect the sub loom from both of these plugs, and then plug the two connectors with the black/yellow wires together.
Rip out the sub loom and relay completely.
