    I want to replace with one length of wire anyway what type should I use?

    Sounds like TDC sensor is your best bet first mate... new they are only a few quid, so for peace of mind id go new. However, any reasonable thickness two core wire will suffice as an interimm, originaly they are red and white, about 0.5mm^2. If you get them the 'wrong' way round dont worry, that'll just give you some ignition advance at the lower end - see articles section on the site. Id solder and heat shrink them carefully though, the signal is fairly weak.

    As Alister says, TDC sounds like the likely problem there if its really that bad.

    Hopefully you get it MOT'ed, thoroughly enjoy driving it, then decide you'd be mad to sell it!
