Hi Stuart,
The holiday took place a few weeks ago and I am only now telling the story of how it went.
Since returning home, I have resolved the leaky plug issue and will explain how, shortly.
The carb is a full d/d SU that has been used successfully on the car for over 100k miles. I only had issues once the new head was fitted.
Since the plug leaks have been cured, the original (weaker) needle has been reinstalled (this was first fitted to the car in 1990 by Colvin Gunn for me). Reverting to this original set up, without leaky plugs, has resulted in excellent running, and good mixture readings, ever since.
I hope this explains the situation, many thanks.
