Rotor Arm
Hi !
After getting the distributor cap off and the rotor arm I was pleased the distributor cap needed replacing ( quite worn electrodes, strange yellow deposits on them and some water too ! )
Put new rotor arm in and the ** retaining screw sheered off at 6 NM ( meant to be able to torque to 10 ! )
So suggestions : is this a tow it to the garage job to get the remenents of the retaining screw out in order to fit a new one ?
regards
very dejected kevin

Re: Rotor Arm
Well done on the fix mate, I didnt have any suggestions as I dont really know that part of the car as mine doesnt have a dizzy, so glad you sussed it out yourself.
