Is it still going? 
Hello Nick yes it is.... i have used it twice more since we spoke last....it does not have any issues.
I have a new toy to play with now, its a Stuart D10 purchased cheaply from ebay it runs perfectly well but has a few issues that i can easily fix, i intend to mount it on one of my planked plinths and run it alongside that old boiler and Stuart 10V that i posted on this forum a while back....Steve
