If time allows this weekend, I will check fuel pressure. Am I right in assuming that if the fuel pump is holding pressure I should get quite a strong stream from the fuel line even without the engine having been run in hours? I'm presuming I would pinch a line, then remove an end and put the opening into a jar, then "unpinch"?

OK then it is not the crank pick up.
Yes it should hold pressure overnight, wont be much of a flow just a spurt. The pump does run when you turn on the ign, but it does not know if there is pressure there or not. It just runs for a few seconds then switches off till it gets the crank sensor pulse.
The cold start valve under the RHD side of the manifold can stick from gum to not open fully. Won't post a code.
