am i right in thinking..
cut the plug off
solder the two thick starter wires (tricking it thinking its in park)
extend the two reverse light wires and hook them through the firewall and onto the reverse light switch?

Yes that is all that needs to be done. You can also run the 2 thick wires to the safety switch on the clutch pedal if you want to make your car be able to be started only when clutch is pressed. (manual civics came this way, for safety reasons so car will not start in gear and lunge forward.)

Sorry to threadjack but since we're on the same subject , I want to run the 2 thick wires to the safety switch but the wires are both different gauge sizes will this cause a fire in the car?

. Pigtails off the clutch safety switch wires are 20gauge and the 2 thick wires look a lot thicker than that maybe 10 or 8? Any suggestions?

There's a ground that attaches under the driver's seat (on US cars, UK is probably opposite- right side) that is for the fuel pump. It's easy to overlook and fuel pump won't prime w/o it. Next I would check your main relay under the driver's side dash. Small grey box and the solder joints inside are known to go bad over time from expanding/contracting. Re-soldering them usually does the trick. :thumb:

They're definitely not 8/10 ga. probably closer to 12. And the other wiring is probably 16 instead of 20. Maybe 18. Either way, it isn't a problem. My car has been setup this way for years with no issues. :thumb:

ok..
I soldered the 2 thick wires together and it now cranks
I still couldnt hear the fuel pump priming so i looped the pump wires on the main relay, took off the fuel pump cover and took a reading of the 2 pin plug and it was about 12 so im guessing the wiring is all good? im not 100% this is the correct way to check i followed a thread on HT.
if the pump is geting power i reakon i need a new pump as it may be seized or somthing.. its not been started in 2 years.

It would run all the time and kill the battery. Is the wiring all original, any thing look modified or cut?

Are sure the main relay is good?
