Default Loss of power - SOLVED!

Finally managed to get under the bonnet today (it stopped raining for 10 minutes!) and found one of the HT leads had worked its way loose and was sitting about an inch and a half out of the block. Glad to say everything's now back to normal and she's firing on all cylinders (literally!)
Just took it fo a spin to Llandeilo and back and nearly got the smile wiped from my face when i got pulled by the boys in blue for having my front fogs on. I did point out that i had them on because of the torrential rain on the back road from Llandeilo to Ammanford (visibility was poor to say the least) But was still threatened with a £30 fine, luckily he noticed that i had my youngest asleep in the back and just gave me a ticking off. surely they've got better things to do on a rainy Saturday night!
