Looking good Leon, I think you're going to win this one, I have exams coming up in 2 weeks time 
was hoping I'd be finished by now!
I agree on the not rushing, it's a hobby not a job. Once you start working to stupid deadlines it simply isn't enjoyable anymore.

Few bits on order from Peugeot - gaskets and a water pipe - but they won't arrive until Friday, so until then I ran through an insurance quote.

I'd pull the breakdown cover off that. Unless you plan on going to Europe.

At £233 total I don't think it really matters if the breakdown cover is on or not really...better to have it on, just in case, instead of getting is from elsewhere at a higher premium.

I don't need breakdown cover, I drive a FIAT. 
Argh I hate troubleshooting.
Tried starting it last night, just kept turning over and not firing at all. Checked for spark at coil - no.
Checked for power at coil on ignition - yes.
Swapped coil for spare, still no difference.
Dizzy lead is known to break down and fail, swapped dizzy - no difference.
Put other dizzy back and checked for spark again - no.
Tried a third coil - SPARK I have strong spark on all 4 cylinders and from the king lead. Excellent.
Still won't start. Fired once but that's it. Definitely getting fuel, in fact I think I've just flooded it trying to start when it wasn't sparking. Going to leave it fester for a while. I wish I had my spare injectors but they are languishing in Wales because I forgot to bring them with me (although I'm SURE I have another complete rail somewhere here...)
Aren't cars fun

Not flooded any more. It's now actually firing properly and having a good go at starting. Dizzy timing is not spot on along with no exhaust etc so I'm meeting some resistance
Took a couple more pics of progress yesterday:
Lovely new bits
Painted the manky inlet manifold
All in place
Battery is charging now so I will have a proper go at starting it this afternoon

£2 each and there are 4 of them.
Oops sorry that's exhaust - inlet is about £4, can't find the receipt at the mo
