Put prop shaft back on. Decided to do it in pieces instead of assembling on bench. Won't do it that way again.
Big thanks to the guys at Bell Engineering who tested my VCU for me - worth the trip to make sure it was ok as i bought the vehicle with it disconnected.

In parts. Although I've calmed down a bit now. I put the vcu on first and then put the back section on without realising the front wouldn't then go on. Then when i'd sorted that and got the front and back on I realised i had forgotten to put the bolts and washers in the vcu spline shaft.
On reflection it's probably easer to do it in parts as long as you don't forget those things.

Had to wiggle the small cable on the starter again. Looks like I'll be getting the crimping pliers out soon.

Went to start my FL2 this morning and the engine cranked and cranked and cranked (good battery ) but never started. Jumped into the wife's car and dropped her off at the station. Returned to my FL2 and plugged in my TakLife OBDII code reader to see what codes it threw up. Well, it threw up everything! Hundreds and hundreds (I may be exagerating) of DTCs from every module the car possesses.
As far as diagnostics goes that's about as much use as not having a code reader at all.
I reset all the codes, pressed the start button without putting my foot on the brake pedal so the car ran its own diagnostics. Read the codes again: Just two codes indicating faulty glowplugs. They've been duff for 15 years, so no surprises there.
Tried starting the engine. Fired up instantly. No warning lights on the dash.
Took it for a spin. No issues. Stopped and started the engine several times. No issues.
Intermittent fault with the crankshaft position sensor?

Yes, same on the FL2. Mine, well yours, only generated a code when it actually stopped the engine, but not when it was misbehaving before hand.
Replaced OSR window regulator. Motor dead in the water. Been in since 2012 apparently.
Anyway all done and working again.
