Re: Car has shut down.
Well done Trevor , easier to fit a new distributor than a fuel pump.

Re: Car has shut down.
Got to be worth checking if that fuel pump is working first , before moving on.
IF it is working , then it will , almost certainly , be the distributor since you have checked the CPS plug and cambelt.

Re: Car has shut down.
Presumably this has not happened to the car before while you have owned it ?
As others , it is classic distributor failure or cambelt broken ?
How long have you owned the car ?

Re: no start but crank / no fuel pump. ECM failure or not?
Very well done for fixing the problem.
Question.
Was it the ECU or the CPS connection that cured the fault ?
I have a complete wiring loom for sale with all the sockets you would ever need. See under parts for sale.

Re: The infamous Connector
Though I loved the life , dear old Blue Funnel were mostly DC powered and I thought my only other job prospects would be as a curator in a DC museum. So, a big relief to get to Hinkley Point B. Which is how I got to 'play' on the reactor simulator at Berkeley , irradiating most of the West Country w...

Oh Bob , " Them were the good ol' days "!
I still have a Laurence Scott publication 119 written by Dr Schwarz in 1949 on Schrage motor drives.

Re: Soaked head lining….help!
Another way, search for the drain pipes as they appear out under the wheel arch, you will have to remove wheel arch covers.
BLOW air back up the pipes to check they are clear,

Re: The infamous Connector
Hi Bob, and Happy New Year to all. Yes , those big old battery chargers we used to have back in the 60's , with the square fins and round discs in the middle. Copper oxide , used as semi-conducting diodes , we called them rectifiers. I even remember the editor of Practical Wireless writing , in 1965...
