You have the right rotor there,the symbol on the top shows the correct fitting(triangular shape)
look at the dissy where the rotor fits and fit correctly as you can force the rotor on the wrong way

@Probe97Fiesta01 , I may have missed it, but where are you based, as someone local might be able to help?

I'm in Mid Devon 👍

Also will try get a picture of everything after work, just to make everything worse one of the screws holding the distributor cap has decided to snap and the threaded end is now stuck. I have some spare but no idea how to get it out...

@andy p is near Buckfastleigh, maybe he could help? If you are mid Devon, he can't be a million miles away?

That's true, I've actually picked up a few parts from him before, just across Dartmoor
