I should be able to, it just means another 35+ mile round trip.
Thanks for the offer of help on wiring, much appreciated. I did make a start on stripping out the unused circuits from the mondeo engine loom a while ago, and think I got most of them (erring on the side of caution). I'm not yet decided whether to retain the mondeo underbonnet fuse/ relay box. It's a big unit to find a home for, and a lot of it won't be used in future. I'm going to wait util the engine is in the car before going any further with the electrics, it should be a lot easier to figure things out when everything is plugged into place.
