This is what it looks like at the Moment

So that is where some of the draughts might be coming from on mine. When it falls below -6C I get some cold air coming through from somewhere.
Should be good when finished. Bon courage as they say here in France.

New Injector seals and washers fitted and now finally starts first time in the morning!
