The AA are shit, told me the reason my car wouldn't start was because the coil was fucked, I asked if he was 100% sure and he said yes.
Changed the distributor and it fired up (after I got the timing right)

its a 40yr old vauxhall viva i just don't see anything redeeming about that, apart from it has a good shape to make look like a muscle car but you will need seriously power for it to be decent in my book
i don't see why everyone on here calls it cool and amazing, there really is a messed up view of cars on here.
sorry mate, loved some of your other cars though

Mmmm tax exempt, that would be nice, although long term reliability would be nicer.

It's gona be nice going into the post office and splashing out on 12 months tax!
It's just a weekend toy so reliability doesn't have to be number 1 on the list, saying that the engine rubs so sweet and after it's warmed up you can't even hear it ticking over!!
One thing I have learnt is that it doesnt like the heat. The other day when it was really hot was juddering a bit when it was really hot outside!

Nice car mate, I think my mother in law had one of those back in the day
AA guy sounds like a right asshole, I don't get how some of them get to keep their jobs when they clearly know fuck all about cars or proper roadside diagnosis!
