We have the answer. It was a Labgear transformer that powered the amp that was dying. The nice man said they are well known for it. So, to replace and make me a shiny new signal only cots £85 which pleased me mightily. No idea at all why it was time dependent. That part makes no sense since the transformer is always on.

The thing is that this is the Labgear power pack with the adjustable gain control. Apparently it is known for such things.
Oddly it loved the heat of the day. Much hotter in daytime with a good picture than night time with bad. And it failed your most excellent diagnostic test with flying colours. Go figure!
I blame gremlins.
Just discovered I can see the transmitter from my back garden, too

ah, JB, the man is coming today. He will be here before I can find my radio. Cross your fingers for me.
Good luck Brian R, this is a great place for answers. Be patient and try the things the guys here suggest. It's a process of elimination, often. WHat might help them is a full postcode. I know they usually ask for it. It helps them ID which transmitter you are nearest to
