I replaced all those parts roughly 2 years ago, but I've put very little kms on it these last couple of years - maybe 10k at most. I swapped all those parts, and it was driving fine for a good year afterwards before it started playing up. It started out not so bad, I would be driving for an hour or an hour and a half, and then just as I was making my way home it would do this little blip every 5+ seconds, not really bad. It's just got progressively worse now.

I haven't replaced the dist cap, but I have had it off 2 years ago when I replaced the leads and such and it looked pretty good inside. It was replaced maybe 6 years ago I think, but it's only done maybe 25k kms since then. Rough numbers sorry, it's been a rollercoaster ride of life for us in recent years so doing my best to remember things. Think I should take another look and see how it's fairing? Anything I should be looking for specifically?
