Whipped it off to take a look.
Looks the blade on the rotor arm has actually cut into the 8 contacts.=20 There appears to be a worn rough edge, rather the normal smooth square=20 cutouts.
The very tip of the carbon button is polished but the carbon is still=20 intact.
Might be worth trying a cap and rotor arm as they are so cheap anyway.

Sounds pretty worn to me, definately worth changing. Remember to put the leads back the right way :-)
Yeah, but that is after one month(ish). Cheapass Halfords crap.

Is the rotor spindle nice and tight and doesn't have play in it?
innews: snipped-for-privacy@news.individual.net:
Yeah no real wobble in the spindle itself and the rotor arm fits nice and tight too.
What about vertical movement ? Somethings wrong for it to knacker the distributor cap.
The cap did seem real tight. I do mean wedged down to hard tight, just=20 tog get the clips on though.
The rotor itself doesn't look too bad, but I'm going to swap that too.

Me neither, I made a blanking plate on the side of the engine and ebayed mine ;)
Better than feeling dizzy.
