I can't hear anything in the video, just voice.

Stop the parts canon, start diagnsotics. Buy some spark checker lights (£20) and see if its noticeably different.

Run the car in the dark without any lights (DRLs or spark checkers) and look for glowing around the HT system.
I should have made a better video. But it vibrates a lot. I thought it was audible at 1500.

I didn't even know you could change the ignition system.

My first car, an Opel, would act up everytime it rained because humidity got into the distributor. Got progressively worse until distributor was changed

Is it easy to clean on the 940? Anything I should be mindful of? Like any part prone to break or hard to disassemble?
