Just wanted to post after my breakdown two weeks ago. A few stalls over a couple of days after starting (immediately) and then a cut out within 1/2 mile of starting hot as I drove up an incline high street - tricky roll back parallel park....
Read lots on here, and used it as a chance to buy my growing box of emergency must haves on board - from clutch cylinder to coil. I couldn't re-create the problem. It was 30 degrees plus that day above, so maybe I have not fixed it, but the cap and arm looked a bit coked up and scratched up, and Haynes recommend changing every year - they are cheap after all. Mine had been fitted new with the engine 18,000 miles ago. I got a Beku from Brickwerks.
Just been to Exmoor and back, no issues. Fingers crossed it was just a simple replace.
Meanwhile, I have a coil, Halls Sender, Ignition chip (bulkhead thing) as spares. And a good petrol pump, the one I have looks cheap.

Re: New distributor cap and arm - stalling when hot
Fingers crossed you have solved it
I would add
Ignition switch
Throttle cable
fuel filter
water pump
alternator belt
to your carry everywhere list , because , even if you can’t fit , you have the parts . The breakdown services and garages are good, but they just don’t carry parts for our vans

Re: New distributor cap and arm - stalling when hot
Thank you. I'll add the belt and water pump. Great suggestion
I have a filter and fuel lines set - tick! I've had the throttle cable in the cupboard for 100,000 miles - do you think I'll ever need it? lol one day hey?
