John,Sospan, Andy, et al, Thank you for all your replies. So far this remains a mystery and its so frustrating when you have a friend that you can't help, especially when they are in a different country as well. You all remain a positive helpline and when we discover what this is all about I'll let you know. I remember well, when my own 89 P4 stopped working and a good three weeks went by before I had one of those light bulb moments and rechecked a relay. It was so simple. Perhaps this will turn out to be the same. Thank you all.
