Can anyone tell what I have done wrong? Have made this twice now and all I get is a runny coconut yoghurt tasting milk. Why hasn't mine set, if that's the word? Use cyclops yoghurt and blood temp, so what other trick is there please??

How are you incubating it and are you 100% sure that your starter yogurt is alive (most even though they claim they are on the pack are well and truely dead by the time you have bought them)
If is a starter issue you may have to take a day or two and let it sit on the bench or in the hot water closet for a few days with some fresh milk so the bugs can come back to life.

I use an esi- yo yoghurt container and as far as the starter- how would I know if it is still live?? Perhaps I should try it in the container with more hot water for a time? I don't have a hot water cupboard (never have hot water on).

Why don't you simply buy a yoghurt starter rather than a made up finished yoghurt?

I made a batch yesterday from the recipe on this thread and 24 hours later is still runny but has separated a bit. I used plain Greek yoghurt and honey.If this doesn't work where do I buy yoghurt starter.

I would not use honey in the making of yoghurt. You are bringing in a whole new lot of bacteria there. You can add that later if you want it - once the yoghurt is finished.
The "plain Greek yoghurt" might have been heat treated and had no live bacteria left. Buy a starter (or even one of those packs for the yoghurt makers) - much better than to rely on some old shop bought yoghurt.
