Thanks I'll check that too. Haven't done anything with the car, I need to allocate a day for testing and get my friend over.

Car broke down
Hi! have you checked out the earth return at the coil pack to cylinder head , this could be intermittent if stiffened and corroded , always a good idea to boost wiring gauge ( double-up ) and lengthen to improve flexibility = make a new one ! and see if that makes any difference - worked for me, mine was just about to fall apart!- talking about my mk 3 -7mgte here!

OK, at long last I get round to taking the engine cover off.
As we did a spark test, we noted a connector at the back came out really easy. Hmmm... Then we notice 3 clips are broken and silicone sealant is used to hold them together. The clip that came out really easy, the silicone was completely broken. http://imageshack.us/f/19/aristo.jpg/ We then plugged the lose connector in and ran the car for 40mins in idle, it did not cut out (typical 10-15 mins then cut out before). So I think this is probably the cause of the problem. I need to do more testing, but it looks promising. My guess is the clips broke during a spark plug change and my mechanic sealed them. My questions : - what is the part number for these clips? - I see 3 with silicone sealant, are there any more clips than the 3? |

I can see 3 broken clips, just wondered if there were any more underneath all the cables?
