After more testing it seems like the advance solenoid is clicking when the switch is closed, so the switch seems to be working. Cold start advance thermostat is new and working well so I’m going to have a close look at the glow plugs and if it’s not then then I think I need to work out if the solenoid is actually moving.

Mind the old golf diesels used to have a manual advance on them!

A moments silence please, for our brothers in the NAD-zone.
