Dark Samurai But sorry for asking a stupid question, but I saw you replaced a "rotor arm" and "dizzy cap", what on earth are these magical contraptions?
There was a time Oli, when you were nothing but a sparkle in your Daddy's eye (the early '90s!!!) where these parts were commonplace, and fitted to virtually every car.

Dark Samurai Honestly I think it's a nice car.
I don't like the wheels, sorry mate.

Back in the day we also had 7" and 12" records, tape decks, Top of the Pops, and something called a "Carburettor" Oh and "choke" that on the Capri 2.8 kept on sticking so was almost always converted to a manual one:p:p:p
Those were the days.

And to follow up from Oli's question, here's what happens when your rotor arm and distributor cap go wrong!

That's all fixed and replaced now, and car's working great. Picked up a last few bits from a breakers today to neaten everything up.
Unfortunately the recovery company in Belgium cracked my front bumper when they were taking my car to the garage so I am waiting to see what they say before working out with Rob what we're doing about him buying the car.

Ah that's looking healthy!
How bads the damage on the bumper matey?
I'm just spraying a couple of bits on mine, then I need to sort out a small issue with it cutting out. Then its ready to go, you can buy mine

There's a scrape on the side, I think they must have ratchet strapped the wheel to the recovery truck and the strap has rubbed on the bumper.
There's a 3-way crack in the front driver's side sorta where the foglight would be. It's not really noticeable until you get up close. I've got some pictures I can put on tonight if you want.
