Power washed Jasper Tuesday, then sat at car wash for 35 mins without starting, eventually got going and now it's missing badly.... Intermittently but missing all the same. It sat up yesterday and took it out this evening and still the same. Any ideas? Novice at this stuff but want to sort myself If possible.
 
Get the WD40 onto the points, dizzy cap, HT leads at each end, battery terminals in fact anything with an exposed electrical connection. Landys don't like modern car washes. They have side sprays to clean underneath modern car sills but in a Landy it sprays water up into the engine bay. Avoid.
 
Cheers lads, ok will check out all of the above. Will be bucket and sponge from now on I think. It's a petrol alright bobsticle. I'll get the WD on to it and see how she goes
 
Have a look under the bonnet with the engine running in the dark - any HT running to ground will be easy enough to see. Diagnosed a cracked coil once like this. Won't help if the damp is in the dizzy, though. WD40 is your friend.....

Cheers, haven't had a chance to get near it yet but hoping to Monday, noticed something else when I was parking it up, had a quick look under bonnet and there seemed to be quite a bit of oil coming from oil bath ( around top where it's louvred) could this be linked too?
