Ye I know. Spent half my life in the motor trade so I'm not too worried at this point, just waiting for the rain to stop so i can put the new HT leads on. Then all that's left to swap are the resistor plug extenders (which I'd much prefer not to have fitted).

Also think the 100 amp fuse from the alternator is in need of replacing so i've ordered 5 of them cos I'm off to Scotland in it in 2 weeks time!

Cheers

think i've sorted it now seems like it was just the HT leads so that's a relief. Ye rotor arm and cap are both lucas, you don't actually need to buy yr parts from the dealer for them to be genuine so long as they are made by the same manufacturer as OE parts. It still had a slight miss at low revs but thought that was probably just cos the new plugs will have been sooted up due to the missfire so I gave it a good booting down some local country roads and it cleared just fine smile
