Hi guys
Sorry for the silence, life has been a bit manic. I got the car to start. YAY. I went through all the sparks, no problem there, and she started first time during the test. Then after we put her back together, she refused to start again. So, once again, pulled her apart and went through everything step by step. Decided to replace the rotary arm and distributor cap as both were looking a little rough, put the battery on charge over night and reset all the sparks. Put everything back together, put the battery back and she's been running smooth since.
I did manage to get the ECU tested at a local garage and nothing came up as to any sensor issues. So I think it must have been the distributor and arm, coupled witha weak battery charge. I'm keeping an eye on it and hopefully she'll be ok.
Thanks for all of your help and suggestions.
