OH FFS..
Looks like the sodding starter motor has decieded it doesn't want to play ball now too... - sometimes it works ok, whereas other times you can here it spinning, but not engauging on the flywheel..... - took it out, and all teeth are still on the flywheel... - bloody marvelous... - and all this of course meant that I didn't have time to sod about with the other issue i've got...

One the plus side, did get to do a compression test on the car before the s/m decided not to play ball, and that came up ok. I am going to get another ig.amp to rule that out from my possible problem, and after testing the earthing of both ign.amps, it seemed fine.. - would it be worth my while to earth them directly to the bat though?
I'm not running out of things it could be... - after LeMans, the car is defo going to MSD in some way shape or form for them to look at... - I really don't want to miss the summer, esp as i still need to get it booked into a spray shop for a touch up here and there....
