Re: Audi 80 objects to Left Hand Turns!

Thanks for the suggestions Tony and Dave. Having now spent an afternoon 
"under the hood" I can report that the culprit was the connector on the 
distributor body (I assume from the hall effect points?). The Distributor 
mounted bit had come off and was dangling on its wires. Once the cable 
insulation got hot and pliable, left hand turns caused the whole thing to 
move and short out.

One for the weird book

Many thanks
Dave
