Well, Mrs D spontaneously sprung on me that we could fetch Morph back from Ma and Pa's today.
Bunged on the last couple of nuts to the dip stick tube. Threw the lid on , opened the battery door (incase the starter jammed again) and then turned him over. Fired up on about the second rotation from cold having been stood foe around 4 days untouched :0)
Trundled back steady, exhaust blowing at the down pipe under load but I expected that. I've yet to tighten the bolts.
Still cruised back at 60mph along the main drag without breaking into a sweat.
Parked him up and heard a "splat hiss" from the engine bay. Turned out to be some water running into the engine bay from the passenger seat (still got the leak to fix!).... phew!
Thanks to all those who offered advice and pointers in my lowest moments of despair.
Just got to psych myself up for a trip to the petrol station now.
