More information later... But this is PeteT16's old 180 and has been sitting for a while.

I swapped the VIS motor over from my other (now fully dead) ZS and the car now starts (after 5 litres of fuel).

However it runs... lumpy I think is the way to explain it, as if it is hunting. And is very easy to stall just by taking foot off the accelerator whilst moving it on the drive.

So my next point of attack is a full service, all fluids and filters and plugs\coil packs.

Anyone got any other things I should look out for that could cause this?

Thanks
Sam
