rod - great minds! Was on the phone to them as you posted! They have all the parts mentionned in stock. rotor arm, HT leads, plugs, throttle pot, TP connector, distributor cap (not sure if required yet)

Not too sure which HT leads to go for - These are a motorcraft set for £25 - anyone used anything different?

I tried about 2 other sorts, all rubbish. Fords motocrafts are the best I found. Having said that I've just lashed out on a set of Magnecor from ACT for the Griff, meant to be the dogs danglies, but I never had any problems with the Ford own brand as it were

I fitted the ford one when I got the car and never had a problem with them in 2 years.

Agree with fitting oem HT leads myself, the only real difference between them is that gucci ones should last longer and look nice. Personally I'll stick with oem ones and change them 3 or 4 times for the same price, obvioulsy imho.

I tried three different throttle pots, had the injectors cleaned, new rotor arm and housing and none of that worked.

A different garage then did a full diagnostics and found out it was the airflow meters. Put on a couple of second hand ones and the problem dissappeared completely. So maybe worth a try. I used a great guy whose garage (ford specialist) I can't remember the name of, but it he was just around the back of the Cresent Suzuki Superbike team's base near Bournemouth.

I had a similar problem with mine so I got an electronic ECU checking gadget from Halfords and this said one of the Air flow meters was reading low, turned out the ECU was sending out a duff voltage so was getting a duff voltage returned. A little bit of solder later (inside the ECU not done by me) and everything was great!
