Try replacing your coil... those wires connect the coil to the distributor so one of them is probably at fault

Is it a 1.3 or a 1.0???

Also please don't post the same thing over and over in different places

Does anyone have a hard top for sale please ? Not worried about cracks/scratches etc as it's going to be cut about somewhat.

Tried the coil :thumbdown: no joy. Twiss, could it be a fuel problem as it only happens when hot ?? vapourising in pipe ?? Any ideas :S
