    i think i found the problem, to cover a point i raised about continuos spark, i phoned the garage and asked them to do the quick test. guy came back with cont spark answer.

    went back today to test myself and scope dist, i could prodeuce a cont spark of sorts but found this was caused by putting the wire to earth on the dist body which was oily causing wire to arc as oscilate causing multiple sparks
    car also started this time, think prob is more likely poor conection on dist plug, cleaned all conections and car started every time, also left there pms hooked up to dist output to test every time they start this week(cust has loan car so no panic)

    thanks for the replies, sometime need your head pointed in right direction and a fresh look john
