Got it off, ran a permanent live to solenoid, it was powering (clicking when putting to the live) but still no fuel getting to injectors, i have ordered a new solenoid but does this still look like the same issue?

The solenoid could be clicking but the valve beneath it jammed in the shut position. Unlikely but not impossible. Take the solenoid and stop valve out, take the guts out of it, put it back in (be prepared to have to stall it in a high gear to stop it) and see if you get fuel going through the pipes to the engine and/or through the return rubber pipes.
Best of luck.

This is hopefully tomorrows job, will have somebody there with me to suffocate the engine in cass of run away, i did also check for air in the system and the fuelfilter appears to be very pressurised with air so will be giving it a good bleed aswell just to be sure its not air locked somewhere.
I did also notice today that one of the return pipes has basically completely rotted away, would this affect starting or will it be alright just potential for diesel spill?

Thankyou all for all the help
