Got it lads. After reading the wiring diagram, the wires were soldered in backwards. Skoda eventually put enough power in her to get her started. Cheers!

So, On Thursday I made a makeshift cable using tinfoil, 0.75 twin core and electrical tape. I spliced the wiring at the ECU plug and she started. Friday, and my screened cable was delivered. I soldered the "repair" plug and wiring on, soldered the screen onto the ECU ground and soldered then...

Ordered the wire and messaged the guy, hopefully he can help as it'll be much easier. In the meanwhile I need to see if I can get this pile of scrap running.

Makes sense, I'll look at a wiring diagram and see if I can make sense of it. Would something like this be suitable to change the lot? Ideally bypassing the current wiring as it'll be a nightmare to get out the conduit, and wiring straight from the ecu to the plug as you said...
