Excellent answers , somebody else came back to me about corrosion in the pump but didn't have a fix for it. Removing the solenoid sounds like a way in. Will check tomorrow. Ice sounds feasible but the problem was a while back before the cold snaps. I turned my back on it for a while but spring's coming and it' time to sort it out. Thanks for all the replies .. appreciated.

Thanks guys, I'm heading towards Tony's reply as the problem as I've examined the fuel filter and no issues. There was however water present, which has now been removed. The stop lever has little to no movement on it. So will try a fan heater in the engine bay first and try moving it further. Thanks again for the advise Geoff

Thanks Tony. No gas leaks . Would you know if the control rod/rack is connected to the govenor and if so how to proceed with freeing it off.

Ok then. Oil level under the high level mark and no sign of contamination. Any more ideas please ?

Thanks for the prompt reply's .I'll check the oil tomorrow and report back.

Hi, I'm new to this forum malarkey, hopefully I'm posting this correctly. My problem is this.. My engine has not been started for a long time. When I finally got it started, the revs built higher and higher. The stop button wouldn't work, nor would the lever on the pump. I cut off the air supply and it stopped. Very scary, I've never heard a diesel engine rev so high. Tried again and same deal. Ideas gratefully received. Many thanks. Geoff
