Week 1 [last week]-Take 48 hour weekly rest between 18.00 monday and 18.00 wednesday-then work 5 shifts up until 16.00 sunday when i take a 25 hour reduced and start again 17.00 monday.

I’ll do my little diary thing -
Sun work
Mon work til 1800
Tue - rest (FULL WEEKLY of 45+ taken)
Wed start 1800
Thu work
Fri work
Sat work
Sun finish 1600 (REDUCED WEEKLY of 25 taken)
Mon start 1700
Tue work
Wed work
Thu work
Fri work
Sat finish 0800 (REDUCED WEEKLY of 28 taken)
Sun start 1200
As there must be a FULL weekly rest of 45 hours in any 2 consecutive weeks
You had a FULL weekly rest in the first week and a REDUCED weekly rest in the second week so the next MUST be started by Sun 2400 in week 3.
I now await a site tacho GURU to tell me if I got that right
ADD - My thinking on this was that the first FULL weekly is for week 1 - no option for that
The next FULL weekly can be for week 3
I know that leaves 2 reduced weekly rests in between the 2 full ones but I think that is ok as the driver can opt for which week a weekly rest goes in to.

just a question have you have any reduced rest before the start of week 1 cos if you have you would have to compensate for them
sorry what i mean as all your rests for the two weeks before the week 1 in your post been 45 hours
You had a full weekly rest in week 1 and a reduced weekly rest in week 2 so If you re-start work on Sunday at 12:00 you will need to start a full weekly rest no later than 12:00 the following Saturday (six 24 hour periods) unless you have at least 24 consecutive hours off in week three before then, in which case you will still need to start a full weekly rest of 45 hours no later than 23:59 Sunday of week 3.
Good luck.

I got that bit right 
tachograph:
re-start work on Sunday at 12:00 you will need to start a full weekly rest no later than 12:00 the following Saturday (six 24 hour periods)
ROG:
the next MUST be started by Sun 2400 in week 3.
Oh dear !! 
I missed the 6 X 24-hour periods rule
Ok,thanks for your help-much appreciated.
