Have a good read through the whole post - it wasn't too hard. If you think you're up to it, grab a new 2/4 duty solenoid from Sussex Autos, if not, take it to an auto specialist and mention what you believe the problem to be. :)

It should just be in the usual socket for Volts (it is on mine) - it says V/Ohms above the socket. It could be the Omega symbol on yours though. :)

There's 2 connectors at the front right of the engine bay between the battery box and the wing - it's the one at the front. :)
It's got a twist collar - turn this and it'll undo.
