just an update on this thread.
I have started pulling apart the VC thinking it may be the condenser (no spark)... With two young kids, i just dont have the time.
The Cortiona and the VC (Half dismantled but all the parts are there) are free (along with a tray of various spares from ethe shed cleanout).
Let me know if you want them, first person who can pickup can have em, i need to clear out the garage.
