You may like to suggest he check the voltage output by the alternator, as a high voltage can damage electronics. If it is high, check all the connections including ground, before buying a replacement.

Thanks Ken I'll pass the number on. Thanks Roger, its a pal of mine I sold the car to a few years ago, seems the 123 has died. He has a points ignition set at home near Plymouth and has now got a lift back there to get the bits so he can fix tomorrow. He has not done ignition swap before but is reasonably mechanical soo should manage. Thank you for responding. |

Thanks all, he's still stuck in Falmouth (kipping @ a mates I believe) and now seems to have killed the nice new dry coil... |
