Jack,
That was the good bit for the day, it got worse after that, I took my car to the car wash to clean it up for a show tomorrow. After hand wash it would not start so took distributor off to check for water. Small spring and and small pip that tops on to rotor shot out and lost. Gone. Then it was my lucky day, when I dropped the car at my repairer, who was ”closed” given it was Saturday afternoon I realised he was there working on some cars inside and got another cap and car going again. Very much my lucky day for a Saturday afternoon.
First time its been towed. It was actually only 500 meters away from the wash to the repairer!!!!!! Tow truck operator said that it was the shortest job he had ever done. Thankfully it was covered under the Royal Auto Club membership.
