They (the technician) tested the solenoid separately and found it to be electrically sound. From which I asked then was it a case of power getting across the solenoid ok but not making it onto the armature.

I also have some 5m RG58 extension leads, BNC-m to BNC-f which are handy for when cars are up in the air. Pot...

Thanks for all the input,
