I finally fitted the new ditributor this morning- the old one was definately bad!.
Then I went for a drive...... she is sooo subtle in her seduction!!!
Of course now she is running perfectly
.
Can't wait to show the mechanic (who charged me $1000 for false diagnostics) and hear his comment when he sees the faulty distributor!.
I will suggest he owes me some credit in his workshop!.
Anyway,
Thanks once again for the persistantly helpfull enthusiasts out there!
