Yayyyyyyyyyyyy she's a runner!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I picked up a coil but still no joy so I had to go to another factors for an ignition module, fitted that and she fired straight away! The only problem was the horrific top end knock  :sad:

I took her a run round the block and still knocking but as she got up to temperature the knock died off and she was quiet as a mouse so I assume it was a tappet lacking lube!

She doesn't drive as well as before so I think she is due for a tune!

Many thanks for all the help!
