Perhaps the lead going to the coil is dead/damaged or even has some dirt/rust on the connections between itself and the coil?

Ok thanks i'll have a look and see if i can clean up all connections. If that does not sort it have you ANY other suggestions?

Ignition Amplifier is your likely culprit

Ignition amp or coil leads.
