All going off my memory, from an age ago, so hopefully thats right.

Also the airbag light will go on, if one of the fuses in that box that sits on the battery has perished (you can tell by removing the fuse, and if upon touching the metal terminals on either end ...they move..... then the likelyhood is that you need a new fuse.

Thanks V6Alfisti,
I have currently only got one red main cable connected to the positive terminal options in the box sitting on the top of the battery, so are you saying the smaller black wire coming from the "kerb" side of the Engine compartment, that I have not yet reconnected, should be connected to one of the spare positive bolts? This black wire looks like its coming out of brake piping, but it's difficult to confirm. Any further help much appreciated.
