Did try it with core still in, to no avail, but maybe I need to persevere. Thanks for the heads up on the operator error. Only took me 9 years.
If I can't seat a tyre with the valve core in then I know my set up is not going to work. More tape is usually the - tester unapproved - solution.
Oh right, good to know.
