I went for a lovely drive on Sunday. Over 2 hours and probably 150km.

Until the car started to run horribly roughly and eventually died.

At least the tow truck was a good colour.

Inspection revealed that the Pertronics igniter unit in the distributor had "failed to proceed". This was the only part of the ignition that had come with the car that I had not replaced.

Once replaced the car started well, but there was now a horrible noise from within the bell housing.

Dead clutch.  Boo.

Ah well.  Engine out time.

Will keep you posted.
