Ok, ive looked at the relays (not knowing what the hell im doing  ) and noticed that on all the relays when i lift the plastic up it makes all the prongs contact (3 pairs of 2) However on the M relay only the bottom 2 make contact and the top 2 dont sit on the plastic. Damn i just read that back and it doesnt make sense but i cant explain any other way.... In any case, this shouldnt effect the ability of the machine to fire up. Its still in tilt and when i flicked the on switch before, the motor started running. I flicked it on just now and nothing happens (just the lights and tilt sign come on). Wow i really think i've bitten off more than i can chew!!
