Takes me about 30 mins to do a DIS pack........but you didnt want to hear that did you ;D
Tkaes me about 45mins to drink tea whilst watching Tunnie do a DIS pack ;D

I could do it in 30 mins, if it was not for the constant abuse!

You still stuck on this Theo? - Assume scuttle is off, can't remember combination of tools i used last time.

Crikey! what do you use as a mug - a bucket?

I guess watching is thirsty work- so you have to go for a couple of refills. ;D

Well, that sorta explains it.  Resorted to the prybar and tore it out.  Wish I had done that last night, but didn't have prybar at the time.  It's completely breaked!  Rotted out, plates all spread apart with rust, just gone!  :o

One bolt is still in there.  Need to get pliers in there or something.  Then it's on its way back together . . .  :y

The story continues . . .

. . . apparently they don't make the E10 in 1/4" drive, or at least no one has ever seen one.  >:(

I got one more bolt out with a better 8mm socket, still have one more to go though.  :'(

Prybar on standby.  :-/

Apparently they do and I have got some.  :y

If you can't get it the same day it's no use.  I got the DIS delivered the same day . . .

All running now.  About 5 hrs total plus running around.   ::)

I got fooled by it being so badly designed in terms of installation that I didn't think to look for little numbers.  ::)

TBH this is the first time that I have had to repair a wasted spark ignition system.  Never done a dizzy cap that had numbers printed on it . . .  :P :D

I think so, was replaced shortly before I bought it. Then there was the flood last summer that killed my starter motor . . .  ::) :(
