Happy to report that the slight misfire i had after the full service has been cured by the new iridium spark plugs. I have not put in the new NGK coil pack or MAF sensor yet as i want to see if they make any difference by introducing them one at a time when the car is ready to be used properly. So that is the good news. The bad news is that i took the car to my mates over in Maidenhead and the slight grumble i heard from the fuel pump when i first switched on the ignition has turned into something much noisier and more grating and i abandoned the idea of taking the car to Back on Track until it is replaced. Fortunately there are several good threads about doing the job on the forum and better still they all seem to have the relevant photos on. I have ordered and received the 255 Walbro pump (which i learned after ordering apparently sounds like there's a racehorse pissing in the tank) and the ally sheet for the access panel mod and 'o' ring seal for the pump body plus a rivnut tool.
The other problem i have is that the fog light does not appear to work but the fog light button does turn on the reversing light that occupies the same position in the other rear light cluster. I am not sure if it was working correctly before i took the car off the road but as it has an MOT it presumably was. I have not touched any wiring at the back lights but did notice an electrical connecter with just two thin cables at each end that was not plugged in when i had the rear nearside wheelarch liner off so i reconnected it. I will try the reversing lights today to see if that lights up a reversing lamp and the fog lamp and then disconnect the block behind the wheelarch to see if that makes any difference. Despite the setbacks i am still enjoying working on the car and getting to know it and am looking forward to a bit of cutting and grinding to enlarge the fuel pump non-access 
panel.
