It smells alot like as mentioned before the stop circuit is open, this can be due to limit switches on door panels etc as well as the stop buttons, ask and find out if any panels have been taken off like the access panel to the belts or motor, if you trace your stop circuit you could short it out and see if the problem lies within it, but if you can find a diagram just see what is in the stop circuit, also as mentioned before check voltage at contactor coil when your pressing the start button if its there then the coil on the contactor has failed and needs replacing.

Thanks for the replies guys. The machine is still not running (as i have not been back to look at it) they have another machine different but does same job so there is no rush. Ive got too much happening at the moment and havnt had the time to go back and do a freebie,
Hopefully once the rewire I am on is done ill go and take another look

Thanks mrmatt for feeding back the result. Nice one. Finally put to bed, eh?
Said it would be something simple. These faults just like to play hide and seek. All the fun of the fair...and more!

Cheers
