Cheers, forgot to say that I cleaned it out with thinners a few weeks ago, didn't have any paraffin!!!!

When you checked the fuel lines, did you check the connections on top of the tank, located underneath the inspection cover in the boot ?
These corrode and let air in giving the symtoms you have.
