  1. Is the spark plug wet with fuel when removed? Are the connectors fitting ok inside the injector wiring plug / socket
  2. To test for a spark on a particular cylinder use a jump lead connected to the spark plug thread plugged into the lead of the cylinder concerned and the other end of the jump lead earthed on the engine block, look for the spark whilst cranking. The jump lead makes it much easier if you're working alone especially with lots of plastic parts now used in engine bays
  3. Take the spark plugs out, remove the cam cover, insert a clean screwdriver into the spark plug hole on number one cylinder (nearest the cambelt), using a ratchet and appropriate socket on the crank pulley bolt turn the engine clockwise until the piston reaches top dead centre. Look at the cam lobes, when viewed from the pulley end are the roughly 10 to and 10 past the hour on a clock face (valves closed)? If yes check the cam timing and dizzy marks align where they should, if no rotate the engine one full turn and check the cam and dizzy timing marks again. The number one piston must be exactly at TDC and both the inlet and exhaust valves for number one cylinder are closed when checking the cam / dizzy align with there appropriate set up markings

    Early headlight switch.

    I have one, but I'd have thought if the problem was main beam only the wheel stalk would be the problem? A used one would most likely have some voltage drop, the one I have is Hennys old one he used with an uprated loom
