Hi all, thanks for your help and advice.

I've now been able to test with a fully working board from a different 746F and everything works perfectly so I think you are all correct with the ASTIC coil diagnosis.

My next question is, would it be possible to buy an ASTIC separately and replace the defective one? If so does anyone know where might I get my hands on one?

Thanks again, Stuart.
