We have had to trim up the LT contact of the distributor as they were badly pitted, a large lump having formed on the blade contact and a corresponding depression in the screw contact. The condition was much worse than 5GII.
The mileage covered is as follows
On May 18th 330 miles
On May 19th 380 miles
On May 20th 75 miles
Previous mileage since last 7755 miles
Total to May 20th 8540 miles
