I've just picked up your messages mate. Sorry it's taken me a day to get back to you, I've been flat out lately.

Whilst I'm happy to help - given the likely delay in us being able to fix a date, it may be best to PM Darth/Wellung to see if they could do it sooner? :y

hi ralf
been reading through this and cant seem to fathom out what has been done???
you have had cam gaskets done?
new leads fitted?
new plugs fitted?
you now have a rattle and worse misfire?

when he done camgaskets did he clean the breathers out ? which is cause of gaskets going in first place
follow robG's lead diagram with new leads if all correct i would be looking at dispack if spark plugs are new aswell
check all vac pipes are back on and in correct order aswell
