I appreciate all your replies, always helps.
The VR sensor has been set at 48 thou, 35 thou and 10 thou, no difference.

The signal is far sharper and greater amplitude at 10 thou, Clewett said it will not start so close, 40 is the best, so i positioned it there.
No difference.
I removed the plugs to remove the cylinder compression and raise the cranking speed...
No difference.
The looms are all as supplied by Clewett. I have found one crimped pin connection where the wire pulled straight out already.
Any connections i make are crimped and soldered.

While this XDi is on it's way back I'll go though EVERY wire again, security, position erc in prep for the Grand Day when it will simply start.

The Starter, a hot topic.
It is a little known Brize starter, high torque and very compact. All leads have iron clip-on suppressors.
I estimate a cranking speed of nearly 2 revs /second, but have no means to measure it.
