Re: why did brad sell all his 800s

I could say the same about my wife but I cannot because I'm gay.

Re: "Typical!"

mine has two round plugs on the front under the king lead. my spares do not. Oh, You are talking about the coil. Thats an early one isn't it.

intermittent starting issue, the only spare ignition units I have are for Auto's not manuals, so don't have the two plug points. Anyone fancy trading a believed good auto igniter for a manual one (unit on inner wing) (came from Mr Ellis' stock of spares some time ago) Mal. The igniter is universal....
