Thanks Brit 312. "Power set" it is, then. I was aware of the '3 reheat' possibility which is decided before T/O depending on T/O parameters ('is this a 3 re-heat day or a 4 re-heat day?').

On the P1 side of the cockpit is a small hinged piece of metal which can be moved to show '3' or '4'. This is set before flight depending on whether 3 or 4 re-heats are the acceptable minimum for take off that day, so if there is a re-heat failure on T/O, a glance at that indicator will show if it's OK to continue with '3 lit' or not.
