Just because it was done by a garage doesn't mean it was done properly .

[minimayfair85]

Nope doesn't move

[minimayfair85]

Was working fine yesterday though

[leroy26]

battery connections loose?
incorrectly gap points/ plugs
broken ignition wiring?
choke sticking?

[minimayfair85]

All are fine.? Do u think I need a new coil or distributor

[leroy26]

most likely coil in this situation make sure you get the right one ballast or non ballast, it may be worth while changing the condenser too

[minimayfair85]

Thanks do u think this would solve the problem if I replaced my ignition coil condenser was replaced same time ad my points

[leroy26]

its worth ago and there always handy to have spare, please get another condenser there three quid and new ones can fail easily in hours!

[leroy26]

[minimayfair85]

[minimayfair85]
