Default Fueling prob with s1

Hi, the car has sat off the road for 2 years, had it started now and again to keep things lubed.

Decided it was time to put it back on the road, so gave it a wash and headed for its mot.
On the way there, it came on boost in 3rd gear went ok, changed to 4th and totaly dead, pulled over and tried to start it, not even an offer......

But noticed when priming the pump, the injectors squeel, and its never done that before.
I reckon its a prob with the metering head, but just wondered if anyone else had encountered this problem?

I have had a look at it today, checked spark..ok. So slackened the banjo bolts for the injector pipes and primmed the pump, alot of fuel came out with out cranking the engine?

Removed the plugs, and when cranking lots of fuel comes out the spark plug ports!??

Came to a conclusion that whatever controls the fuel for coming on boost is stuck wide open???
And is flooding the spark out before it gets a chance to start.....
Obvious thing to do is change the metering head and try it, but just wanted some advice.
Any ideas anyone????
