Thanks all - one of the reasons I love this forum, never a shortage of solutions, advice and experience!

ODB Test only showed a faulty coolant sensor, which has now been replaced and ODB not showing any fault codes (annoyingly)
Forgot to add its had a new ignition coil too.

Cobber - Thanks, fuel pressure check tomorrow and get the muti-meter into the sensors. Couple of the old plugs when pulled did look fairly 'washed' - but then it had been cranking a fair amount and not starting - other 2 were blackened and had carbon build ups. In terms of exhaust, it had a new flexipipe last Nov - but will have a look at the rest while its on the jacks.

Airportable - love this little motor and would begrudgingly replace with another. This one is a Japanese spec, bodywork and paintwork are very straight, no rot, no major dings and only just gone through 30k miles. Got it for pennies so it owes me nothing, but as is the norm with older motors - repairs and maintenance have hugely outstripped the original purchase price!

Cheers
