Turned out it was the ignition module at fault.
Reason I didn't suspect it was
a) there was power to it
b) I got a hv dc reading from the centre ht lead
c) the module was just replaced 4 mths ago by previous owner/garage
after I replaced the obvious bits, gave it to my local garage who tested the module for me and said it was faulty. They also said it was bone dry, ie the last garage hadn't applied the silicone grease to the mating surface (which protects it from excess heat) and subsequently cooked it!!!!! Well I never!!!
Have you heard of anythong like that!
