i manged to do an etching in my lunch break and found that my distributor is a valeo unit which is not helpfull as all my motor factors here said it should be bosch or ducellier.[!]

Thank you for the mail chris, I have another query do you know exactly which make of distributor goes in my vehicle? I have looked all over the thing and cant see a name, only numbers.
The reason I ask is that I believe I may have the wrong dizzy cap fitted, I checked the spark coming from all the leads today as the cylinder 2nd in from the cambelt end is not firing all the time, when I took the HT lead off and checked against the car to see a spark, I noticed it was intermittently sparking whereas all the others were fine and continually sparking. I swapped other the ht leads and spark plugs in a different order but it still happened on that cylinder on that lead. I am a bit confused.

how hot is it supposed to get. and is it instant heat.

[holmes]

the hedgehog is what i meant it doesnt feel like its getting warm. i dont have a panel filter, i had one on my old golf and got the carb icing hence why i dont use one now.

[holmes]

only happens when cold, i turned the ignition on but not starting the engine, i was under the assumption that the carb heater would start to warm up but it didnt is this right?
