Bradders:
Thanks for your advice oddjob. I did look at Ash’s coil repair but it seemed a bit daunting to me. (I’m not the best mechanic in the world.)

JezzaPeach:
If you manage to check the pipes heating up, even if it’s not conclusive, I won’t regret replacing my 49 year old coils with DSS, plus old caps and plugs. Along with points and condensers that were 20+ years old - it is running really well now, and should for a good long time.

JezzaPeach:
Certainly a saving if one has time and skill to do it. I didn’t and at £72/pair the DS were much cheaper than some, and should last another 50 years! I’ve kept my old ones in case I get time to do the leads, or to sell to someone who can. My leads were certainly poor. I wonder if the wiring within the coils can also deteriorate after 50 years.
