Unfortunately , there was no great haste to get my car back on the road as i have a works van ( plus i'm a lazy git ! lol ) and it's been sat on the drive since the new year. Its now back up and running but needed the battery charging as it was as flat as a pancake after 9 weeks parked and from the repeated attempts to start it which was the initial problem .

Thanks for the advice i will search out the serial number asap
