Just an update on this thread that I forgot to mention a couple of weeks ago. The dizzy that we fitted was brand new. The car goes like stink even more now. A very noticable increase in performance.

I fixed the problem today. It was the MAF. I'd got a spare, unknown MAF from the boot of DUK when I bought it tucked away in my spares.

Question now is, is my faulty MAF fixable or is it to the bin?

Couldn't remember the spark plug gap so set them at .95. ?

Been trying that mate to no avail , will keep trying tomorrow. Cheers Dunc .

To start the story again . My HT lead ends have popped off from the leads and remain suctioned on to 4 out of 6 of my spark plugs. I've struggled and managed to get the 2 problem front ones out, photo included but I'm struggling like mad with the 2 on the rear . Extra long nose needle pliers don't f...
