Went to stratford this morning and OMG it was bad, I could'nt see where I was going that well, the engine was poo to say the least! at one point I stoped at an island and the engine cut out and would try to stall when I moved off and would spit and stuter in every gear and now I have a new place for water to enter the car, the vent for the windscreen infront of me!

All this to save 7 or 8 pounds and a drill!

I noticed that there was water on the H.T leads so would that mean that the spark jumping to eachothers plug?

Anyone else on here have this problem?

Cheers

Have you got a weather shield on the front of your engine? that does the trick with mine in the rain!!!!! i picked it up from the L2B last year!

Nop, how much are they?

A can of ignition sealent only costs £1.69, and i haven't had a single problem.

Think I paid about 25 pounds for it, it just sits in front of dizzy and stops the rain from getting into the HT leads, i remember the days, standing in the rain drying of the HT leads and plugs. If i was you i would get one!

I will see if can find a web site for you

Or as a quick fit, you can get a old yellow cleaner glove, cut the tips of and feed the HT leads into the fingers and place over the dizzy, tape down and this should hold of the rain!
