please insert copious amounts of swear words !!!!
walked away from it !! fresh start today . car was running fine prior to injector removal , so removed fuel supply line from FPR and turned on ignition.. loads of bubbles etc.
it took 2 full cycles of fuel pump to get rid of air. reconnected fuel line . primed system 3 times with then tried starting again. bingo !! initialy running rough , but settled quickly. took it for a run around the farm until up to temp. all ok. injectors all reading between 1 and -1 . parked it up . will check tomorrow for any problems starting after sitting overnight.
only reason i can think of is when i disconnected the fuel line to drain fuel from the head etc it back siphoned , and sucked air back to the pump. so , non return valve on fuel filter is either faulty or missing . pete :-)

A quick and dirty test for fuel prior to an oil test is to drop a drop of oil onto a business card, if it has fuel it will spread a little further than straight oil and have a distinct 'halo' as the lighter fractions spread further.
I'll try and dig up a pic.
thanks for the input guys. i'll be more than happy if the beast starts ok tomorrow. regards fuel priming cycles , i tried both methods numerous times . pump would not clear out the air. it kept on cavitating , which is why i decided to disconnect fuel line and flush out air before priming . so , will investigate non return valve at some stage. again , thanks for input. pete :-)
