For the stumbling, I'd be tempted to point the finger at one or more dodgy heater plugs - it'll start, because eventually the starter + running cylinders can heat up the non-running one(s) enough

ok, video now uploaded:
http://uk.youtube.com/watch?v=keTuX1yeTBk this was first thing this morning, you can hear what the car starts it's begins turning over normally then stumbles just before it catches, on a bad day that stumble might last 3 or 4 time as long as in the video sorry about the birds, i never noticed them while i was out there but they're very obvious on the video...

well, she's fixed, for the record the answer we were looking for was the auxiliary belt was dead, and the battery was unserviceable, new belt on now and she purrs like a diesel engine again, i'll be fitting the new battery some time over easter, all my tools are in the office in anticipation of going in on saturday and fitting the new braided hoses to the DRZ...
