Well small update! had a rake round the wires tonight and there was an unsoldered connection to do with the coil hence the weak spark and there was oil inside the metering unit from the bailey oil breather so have to clean it all out and get it looking oil free again lol! Thanks to chaffy for his help and burning my finger!

Always a pleasure burning your fingers ryan thanks for the large chicken kebab and seperate sauce, was nice. Hopefully we can give the car a road test over the weekend and sort any small niggles it may have.
