Sounds like all 3 have failed , are you still running an EGR ?

I would test the 2 solenoids for power and earth and check operation

Have you got a wire to one of your injectors ?

I would suspect the LDA on the fuel pump is miss adjusted perhaps

Sounds like your brakes got hot with use

aren’t all the same

Pour fuel in the top of the carb a few times , the fuel runs back to the tank and needs a little help getting back up

I probably have one , can take a look

they cant really be wrong i suppose , its literally showing you how well the fuels burning, i expect plenty at car boot sales for peanuts

You can buy the internals as Aiden says

burnzdog wrote: ↑07 Apr 2024, 17:49 Why do think distributor? And specifically what part of it do you think is failing?

Yes they are a part that fails with the symptoms you mentioned, slowly getting worse with misfire as it gets warmer

You can buy the distributor module and swap it
