Halfords rotor arms

[Graham Thackrah]

Hi all,

For those in the UK thinking of buying rotor arms for their I5's from Halfords,
don't. The little peg that fits in the slot on top of the shaft of the
distributor is about 0.5 mm too narrow to provide a good fit and results in the
rotor arm able to slop about a bit with the obvious consequences. Just got a
new one from Sinclairs up the road (well would have if it there weren't big
chunks missing from it when I went to pick it up!!) and checked between my 'old'
one and the proper one.

Also got a new vac advance unit that'll get fitted sometime soon and we'll see
if that lets me get more than 400 miles to the tank.

Cherio,

Graham.
