now i have everything in place bar the p/s pump and exhaust and just wanted to here the engine crank over make sure things were algood.

i had already cut the brown wire from c101 plug pin 20 as was on engine loom and left for now,connected battery now the car won't crank off the key but will if i bridge starter.happy that it cranks but not as happy because i can't turn over with the key?

Your auto loom will have a 'start inhibit' circuit attached.

Behind the glovebox,hunt out a black/yellow cable(it starts at the ign switch)
Trace this cable until it changes to plain black at a single connector,trace the plain black,it will go to a relay and a section will disappear under the carpet to emerge behind the gear selector.A second plain black from this sub-harness will come back close to your starting point where a second connector changes the black to black/yellow.Remove as much of this sub-loom as possible,and join the two ends of the black/ yellow together.

That loop of green wire shown allows the plain green that runs from the ign switch to the coil to be broken to allow an alarm/immobiliser to be easily fitted.
