Default no spark???

can anyone give me some advice on what to check next to find why my s1 randomly loses its spark. today it decided it didnt want to start, so i started checking that i have no broken wires following the wiring digram. everything seems fine. the coil is getting power when i crank it over, so i tried a spark plug in the lead and nothing. i assumed the next port of call would be the dizzy, but other than checking for continuity im not sure how i can test it.any ideas as i dont have a spare to try and dont really want to buy one to find thats not the problem. any advice much appreciated as im starting to lose patience with this car. its a random problem that seems to happen at the most inconvenient of times. one day it will start then the next day nothing, even if it hasnt been driven anywhere. cheers
