All's well guy's, the coil had been wired the wrong way round so was producing a negative polarity and the points were trashed and the carb was running too rich... all sorted now though and she purrs with that unique moggy purr that everybody loves to hear... thatnks again for all your advice..

cheers for that, the only place with the items i need isn't open till tomorrow, but i'm away till friday so will have to wait til then now..again cheers everybody for help..

Right, my apologise, all my previous info was based on a friend who said he had checked these items but obviously he hasn't, rotor arm, points and cap look like they could do with replacing, on tickover there has now developed a clicking noise ever 30 sec's or so behind the drivers glovebox, also on...

ok..thanks again for all of advise.. really apreciate it..will try as much as i can tomorrow..again cheers

don't know what happened there but posted 3 times my apologies

only had car 3 days, it does get worse when engine warms up, i've not changed the coil, but it does look brand new, have done the 3 in 1 oil no change, in fact a little worse, plugs dry but creamy brown on electrode, sooty black on little bit of the threads about 2 threads deep, no smoke at all thro...

a compression test has been done..11.5,11.5,11.3,10.5.. so thats ok,points not stuck together and it's also got a new coil fitted..but thanks for all the suggestions..everybody..

me too, i remember my uncle stripping the back end down every march after some bad winters and re-treating & varnishing the wood, then putting it back together, it was better than when it came out of the factory, very nice car and dearly missed

i am wondering if it is on a sorn certificate, when my auntie sold it after my ucle died in 81 it was like brand new with the care and attention that my uncle lavished on it, my worse fear is that it has been written off... thanks for the reply back and the welcome to the site..

i am about to buy a minor saloon reg AFH 733 J and would like to know if anybody knows any information on this vehicle, i am also trying to search for my uncle's old traveller and again any help would be apreciated.the reg for that is PDO 244 J..thank you..
