So many answers, many Thanks too all.
Well I have put in the old deucellieur Coil. The car starts okay. So i guess the coil is okay.
I tried the condensor from a Datsun 200B for a joke. It worked. Only Tired it cause a mate had a spare one and I thought I would give it a go. No relation to problem at hand.
Why the condensor. When i rebuild the dizzy a while back the car wouldn't start. New points fixed that, this was about a month or two ago. Then the car wouldn't start a few days ago. I put on an old and to my knowledge stuffed condensor.............. Car starts. This same procedure of whacking in a new condensor has solved many a starting problem. They just seem to burn out, maybe due to the Bosch Coil. Seems that Bosch coil and Bosch Points don't Mix well
I am going to get some valeo points tomorrow so should be fine. Hopefully the saga will end. If it wasn't so expensive to go electronic I would, but from what I have heard So far so good with points.
I always set my gap at about .3-.4. Usually a loose .3. Seems to work. Everything is a bit old, my take on it at least.
I might try to start the car with out the condensor to see what happens. Might even try to test the condensors with the multi meter.
I hope that my troubles will help others navigate this dark and treacherous world of Peugeot electronic gremlins. hahahah (not quite martyrdom but.........)
Thanks again
