needed a new coil pack, 2 new leads and a new air idle speed controler thingy but it's up and running like a dream.
the radiator is still leaking from the seam tho so i've ordered a new aluminium up rated job for that. is it safe to drive with the radiator leaking?
given that i'm looking at probably a weekend of taking the front of the car off to fit the radiator is there anything else i'd be just as well fitting while i'm at it?
many thanks to all the guy's who have helped over the past few weeks.

Good to hear the engine is running sweet again - pity about the radiator though.
