Thanks Peter.

I drained the fuel and will top up with some fresh LRP and injector cleaner (we do have techron but I've not seen redline) this weekend and see if I can get her kicking over again..

where is the cold start valve?? On top of my inlet manifold and hooked into the fuel injection linkages is a mechanical/electrical contact with two wires coming out of the top that have been cut but seem to attach back to this little doohicky.. Is this my cold start valve?? Why would these two little wires be standing in space??

I know a pic would help.. but alas no digicam..

On the heater front, I'll search the boards and try and sort the heater valve and flush the core on the weekend.. it looks like the PO was getting through the little problems like this before he passed away - the box of spares the widow gave me included some cables for the heater control !

>> I'll post more as things progress!
