just a thought, give the heater a thump with a rubber mallett, after a summer of non use or sat on a shop shelf it may need waking up, i kid you not, that what i did with ours and it coughed into life.

other than that, you may need to check the wiring supply to the heater for power, earth, etc,

when i had probs a few years ago, it turned out to be the power sire to the small pump that pumps fuel to the heater, they are under the car in a messy place, near the fuel tank, the wires can get corroded and break off, thats what ours had, reconnected and heater worked. they seem linked somehow so the heater wont fire without the pump and the pump need the heater to tell it that it wants fuel.
