    I will check leads etc. could well be that as I remove an ht lead whenever I leave her parked up so maybe I didn't replace it properly or maybe it's constant removal and replacement has made it loose.
     
  7. Broken points

    As luck would have it I had spare points in glove box. Bloke I bought van off had told me about the spare and it only just dawned on me.
