You tried finding the problem yourself? Checking ignition components? Fault codes? Its probably something simple that you can replace yourself.

You tried changing or inspecting the dizzy cap and rotor arm? Its an easy job.

Oh and ive had a few mods (new turbo/downpipe/CC) done since my last Pod visit!

You could remove the spark plugs one at a time and crank the engine with the plug out. You should see a spark jump from the plug to the engine if you hold it close.

Perfect Touch, Bingley Road, Hoddesdon. 01992 443 900.

Not essex but on the borders between essex and herts. Shouldnt take too long from chelmsford. Only about 5-10 mins from Harlow.

Not sure if its advisable to drive your car far on only 2 cylinders. Cant be good for the engine.

Get it towed?

When I cooked the engine of my rev 1 tubby a few years back. After I limped home at 2am. I called the RAC in the morning and they towed it from my place in Tottenham all the way to Hoddesdon for me.

Westfield Motors in Rayleigh - just down the road from you mate.

http://www.westfieldmotors.co.uk/


Ask for Ian - you will probably speak to Jean first though - but tell them Frank Galloway put you in touch and your problem and they will do their best to fit you in ASAP - they are always booked up for a very good reason.

Normal servicing they are top notch.. custom turbo installs and alike I wouldn't bother with them as can get quite pricey..

FYI - 1.5 hours labour is only £60 i think.


HTH,
cheers
Frank.
