Scirocco, Triumph and running like a dog...

Well, if you're going to be like that: The TR is is fine health and has 
been extremely reliable - it's the VW I'm having trouble with ;-)

Seriously though, I've just done a compression test on the Scirocco and 
had almost even readings at 12 bar on each cylinder!! Not bad after 
155,200 miles eh??

I wrote recently about a suspected head gasket problem. I now know that 
this isn't the case - I think the problem's electrical. The car runs like 
a dog after about 30 mins. Today I stopped and switched off the ignition. 
Restarted after a couple of mins and everything was fine (for another 30 
mins)!! Any ideas anyone??

I think I'll go to the breaker's yard and get everything from plug leads 
right back to the ignition transistor unit, then swap each part.
