Bastard points !!!

[K@rlos]

Those horrible sodding points have crossed me for the last time today :evil:

Driving up market hill in my home town of woodbridge on my way home from work a 7 pm ish, the van coughed and cut out right in the most public part of mty town

So there i was at 7.30pm outside my favorite pub, fitting a new set of points and a condenser with rather a large crowd watching me. when the vw fired up all the people how saw it break down cheered :lol:

I SOOO need a petronix kit now

 

[easy]

I know your pain dood, but Petronix still fail and you will have to carry a new one or a set of points in case they do. I had one and it failed and am now back to points :roll:

 

[froggy]

I (sometimes) carry my complete spare dizzy. I have pre-fitted it, timed it and marked both the dizzy and the engine as a rough get me home guide.

Back to points for me to. From past experiance some dubs eat them some dont. Fingers crossed mine dosent.

Ditto, i expected some story about some copper hiding behind a hedge :lol:

Oh joy, i suppose i have this all to come, the last car i had that used points was an old Polo and that went through a stage of eating points every few weeks and then it sorted itself.

I suppose i best start gathering parts for a spares/repairs kit t go in the van when its on the road.
