Big thankyou sir for your help this morning really would have been stuck without you...you are a starbiggrin.
my little car that has never missed a beat,but decided it did not want to move from hotel.she fired first time as per normal then cut out.......anyway went to fire her again and no go......think i may have flooded it.Well after many attempts the battery decided to give up.Here was where morgie stepped in with cerb and jump leads,and it fired straight away...phew.
trip up and home was spot on and really enjoyed the trip wish we all had time to chat as i have twenty million questions to ask so fingers crossed next year it will be hot and sunny.

If you flood the Cerb, or think you have, pull the fuel pump relay then turn it over on the starter with the throttle wide open. After a couple of turns it will fire and cough a couple of times. Stop turning it over and plug the relay back in. It will now start as normal. Works every time without fail.

Or jam you foot flat to the floor. wink

WOT is zero mapped for fuel on cranking. Has the same effect.
