Loaned my Triumph 2000 MK1 to my brother months ago and it broke down on his way home. Towed it to his house , got it going by fitting a new rotor arm, that lasted 5 minutes before rotor arm self destructed.
Bought some rotor arms at an autojumble and finally decided to get the car going 2 weekends ago.
1 Battery as flat as a pancake and wouldn't take a charge
2. Got battery and got car started, took it for road test and it broke down again, left mobile at home curse word.Waited for someone to stop and borrow phoneto get help.
3 Got it towed home, centre electrode in distributor cap had broken.
4 Fit new cap and fire it up again, splutter splutter, Stromberg carb flooding . Sorted that out. still missing
5 Rotor arms I'd bought were for a 4 plug Lucas distributor and sit higher on dizzy shaft breaking electrodes etc.
6 Tracked down proper rotor arm last week, fitted it sorted out mixed up plug leads (don't ask)
7 Started car, sounds good, carefully select reverse as it jams if you rush it, just about to go on test drive when I hear this buzzing sound.
A WASP the size of a house is flying around the car in F**KING November!
Get out quick,find paper to kill the little monster and its disappeared in the car somewhere
8 Lock car and walk away.... think I'll banger race the curse word
