Thanks for all the replies!

I couldn't find the datatool alarm. There is a sticker on a fuse box by the battery but nothing else.

I fitted a new lockset, changed the 20 amp starter fuse, put a new battery on and added some fuel.... https://youtu.be/xwrupOC9H5s

I'm now onto indicators. New LEDs fitted and they work but don't flash. The flasher unit was faulty. The capacitor had come off the circuit board. New flasher unit ordered.

One of the spokes/Arms of the gold coloured floating disc carrier was broken. I assume it had a disc lock itted when it was stolen. I've ordered some discs from the breakers.

V5 finally turned up, so it is really mine now!

Aiming for an MoT in the next couple of weeks.

After that I am pondering what to do with the truly awful paint finish - all the plastics are crazed and the tank has extreme orange peel that is more like crazy paving. Hasanyone tried those a Chinese aftermarket ABS fairing kits? Are they not worth bothering with or a descent option?
