Hi,
Please could someone be of assitstance.
When driving through Durham City yesterday, there was a sound like something blowing in the engine compartment. The engine then cut out but i managed to restart it and drive a few miles. It then stalled again, i restarted and drove a few miles (with the ignition light on) but stopping again. The car would not then start again and one of the headlights has gone off.
I called out the AA and the guy inspected the car and suggested that there was a very poor quality spark in the distributer. He advised a new coil, condenser & points, which I have bought. Would anyone know the likely cause of this problem or suggest what the "popping sound" could have been ?
Cheers.
