I had a replacement distributer fitted as it's a new one it's seems to wearing out all the older ignition parts so it's just a matter of going thru the system and renewing all the parts .
I fact this morning I put a new rotor arm on and it seems to behaving it's self considering I haven't started it three days.

IT seems to me that you will have nr a new engine soon if you keep replacein all the parts just out of intrest what motor is it ?

Apart from buying prezzies for family and very close friends, my wife and I were happy to give each other stocking fillers. Sweeties, chocolate and the obligatory Tangerine at the very bottom! Oh! I've just remembered I had a bobble hat in my stocking!

We are glad to see the back of Christmas to be honest. Pressure, people rushing about getting into all kinds of debt so little Johnny can have the latest 'must have'. etc.

I'm not religious, but the real meaning of Christmas seems to have been well and truly swept aside by commercialism and brain washing.

The main thing for me was actually getting there and seeing all the Grand and Great Grand children having a ball. That's all I need.

I got a new nose wheel for the trailer and a Bilhook to sort our ratty hedgerows out with. Both from Carinas' mum and her partner. Carina and I stopped the present race a good few years back.
We enjoy a good meal and some 'treats' and that's about it.
I guess we have just out grown Christmas :-(
