Success!
New (well, slightly used) distributor pump solenoid arrived in the mail from Dixon Strachan today (thanks mate) and after a bit of fiddling about (I had to drive to where my 80" and all my best tools are to get a long neck 24mm socket) Olive is running again! :D

There's a nice loud click from the new solenoid when I turn the key and she starts up with little or no glow, so I guess the compression is ok.
One thing I did learn (I'm sure this is not in the book) is that when bleading the distibutor the ignition should be on so the valve the solenoid controls is open. Until I figured this out even ewith the new solenoid in I was getting nothing.
Also found that the type of fuel filter I'm using (see picture on earlier post) does not like the top rubber gasket to be in place. If you fit it, the filter leaks from the top, without it it's all fine. I'll keep an eye on this as it seems a little odd, but that's what I found works.
Ok, just before a well earned beer, let me say thanks again to everyone who made sugestions, it was fun! :shock:
