I avoided catastrophic failure by a whisker in the green wolf. It developed a slight misfire as we left Ghent. I ignored it for a while.
When we got to the Hoge Veluwe(?) national park, I had a quick rikki-style diagnosis (push all the leads on, wiggle a few things...) and then popped the dizzy cap off to find the optical trigger snapped at the base! It was held in place purely by the weight of three tiny wires. I can't believe the car was still running.
Of course I didn't bring any spares or tools (well, a leatherman and a bottle of water), so I walked about 2 miles into a town and bought a tube of superglue.
I glued it onto the dizzy plate, which will be a fucker later, but nearly 900 miles on, we are in The Hague, heading to Antwerp tomorrow and the little Pom is still beasting the amazing Dutch roads.
I love this little hunk of junk sometimes. (and Holland, btw)
