Hi I am a new member i have a mk3 L reg golf 1781 petrol, the other day the car was running well, i parked the car in the car park went off to do what ever i had to do,came out it started moved about 20 feet and it came to a halt completly cut out tried starting it just kept turning over. Looked at the distributor cap and the carbon in the middle had worn away so i get a new dist cap and rotor arm. Brillant it started and was fine for about 10 miles when i stopped and restarted it done the same thing went for about 30 feet and cut out the new dist cap and rotor look fine but it will not start for love or money.
Has anyone any ideas

Follow up on yesterday managed to get it started with a tow
