Intermittent electrical cut out whilst driving

I promised a conclusion. Car ended up cutting out one morning on my drive way and wouldn't start again. Ended up spending hours changing different ignition parts, even bought a new ignition module to try and was occasionally getting a spark but then not getting a spark 5 minutes later. Ended up buying a second hand ignition module off a MK2 golf and its back up and running again. I have a good feeling the ignition module breaking down could have been the culprit. The thing that threw me was that I had changed it, but the pattern parts are apparently absolute trash so get a second hand one from an original. I hope this helps someone one day.

Well folks have been known to get bad new parts right out of the box, happens sometimes.  But because it is new you and me assume that it is good to go, which sometime isn't the case.

Yep. The worst kind of fault!!
Glad you nailed it.
