Excellent at least u have found something
be a good idea to whip front 2 out as well
been a few years since i had mine out so i may be vague on how to get them out, but here goes
1) remove top radiator fixing bolts
2) loosen jubilee hose clips
3) swing top rad down
4) plugs should be accessible
I read somewhere people puting them into a hot oven for 10 mins to dry out

good news it STARTED

just had the 2 rear plugs and cranked it over to check for a spark and it started so dried the plugs off and poped them back in and away it went

ran fine for a few mins then cut out so i am goin to leave it til the morning cos i could do with a beer or two, goin to wip the tank off and drain out the old fuel (been in there for about a year) stick some fresh in then see what happens

also goin to get new oil filter, oil and plugs for it next week and give it a mini service and then i hope all will be good.
