... and connect VSYNC

Found a HDMI cable, only like a foot long Connected Vsync... and nothing

Oddly my TV switches to EXT input (scart) even though I select HDMI from the menu

There's a LED on the underside of the blue board, facing the DVI connector. You can see the LED's reflection in the connector. If it's steady red, it means the FPGA is picking up the expected 160256 cycles for each VSYNC. If it's flashing it means it isn't (which might mean the computer is doing something it shouldn't).

Oh, and check orientation of the flat cable. edit: looks fine. Caught me out once though.

Its just staying red... my monitor screen flickers when I power on the ST, but does nothing else.. I will see if my multisync monitor has hdmi input...

Check HALT on your CPU as well if you get no picture on another screen as well. Steady red means the GLUE is doing it's job at least.
