well im happy to say its sorted! and by total flook! crouch came round and we set to, swapped coils - no change, swapped back, swapped king lead - no change swapped back, swapped all the HT's - no change swapped back, swapped the ignitor and car wouldnt start so pluged mine back in and it started, pluged it back into crouchs and his wouldnt start so we both shat our pants thinking we now had 2 broken starlets. what we didnt do though was bolt the bracket back to the bulk head so we thought the bracket to bulk head must be an earth, bolted it back and crouchs car started SO BING! idea, went back to mine and took the ignitor off, cleaned it with a wire brush where it touchs the bracket and i also made an earth wire and put it between the ignitor and bracket and ran it to the body as an extra earth and BINGO ran fine. so by total flook its fixed, a dodgy bloody earth! cheers for the help guys it was greatly appreicated, chocolate orages are on the way to your doors!
