Thanks Muttley! . As you are a veritable fountain of Ken, can you tell me where the pre- heat is?.i have no idea. There is glow plug and it is a diesel...so I’d expect something...the butchery of the wires may have dispatched it , are there a couple of wires I should look out for? Brown and something seems favorite!!.

Some Yorks have a heater in the inlet manifold (single) or glow plugs (4) in the inlet. There is a glowplug timer/ relay on the drivers inner wing near the starter.

Seals can be got from Ralph, remember you will need a new crush washer for the pinion nut

Is the crush washer copper usually? If so heating it till cherry red for five minutes should do the trick!.
