Finaly got the car going. There has been several things going on so I have had to leave it for a while.
While driving the other day it stopped on a dual carriage way. Unable to start it again! When I have had it started at home I didn't have any issues at all but after 2 to 3 miles it went wrong.
Got the car to a friend of mine and he checked the wiring and found the rotor wasn't working - no resistance so I got a new rotor! I did start but only for a while and then it stopped again!
We changed everything but the condensor! One part at the time and ended up with a faulty condensor. When it got warm it stopped working.
The problem I have had has been from a faulty condensor, the cheapest part.
Thanks for all the help.
