... It is common for the points to corrode in a wet/damp climate. ... 6. Corrosion

Bob - England is, basically, a synonym for wet/damp climate! The further North and West you go, the wetter it gets....

As a result, we are all too familiar with corrosion! The typical lifespan of a 1980s car here was about 10 years... engine/box/interior still fine, but the body rotted off them. The average lifespan of a 1980s Italian car in the UK was about 10 weeks..... they used much thinner or poorer steel. Mind you, that was as nothing to the legendary "British Leyland Friday Afternoon" car, which not only frequently had bits missing, but often came out of the factory rusty! (no joke)

Rich - glad you got your motor running :)

Lol yes your right

Is there anything I can use/spray on the points to stop them getting damp?
