(bottom half of mine has collapsed new one should be sorted this week) anyway I went to the petrol station today which is 14 miles. didn't give it a hammering but did put my foot down now and again (country roads) anyway Just when I pulled in the started jerking and running really rough I/e not on all cylinders and smoking a lot out of the exhausts, I knocked it off and waited 20 mins for my old man to come out, it cooled and still ran rough upon start up. I wacked a bit of fuel in and I drove home v steady while he followed, I got about 7 miles and apparently it looked like water was coming out of the exhaust then steam out of the engine bay, A lot of it, it was coming spraying water (rusty due to rad) out of the overflow pipe on the expansion tank again as well...we stopped knocked on a locals door for some water topped it up an got it steady home again. but it just started to steam again when I pulled into the drive.I've ordered some plugs, was thinking of leads but should be able to get a volt meter and test the leads, or should I just buy them?
so hopefully it was a failed spark and no other probs will arise with that.
