Been really busy at work, so forgot to update this post...
Got my Amazon in the air last Sunday: there is no play on the UJs that I can detect (fun job: lying on cold wet tarmac at the side of the road under a wet car. With a hangover). Adjusted the handbrake whilst I was under there as well.
The timing is spot on, the points are fine with the gap at 18 thou of an inch.
The only slightly dodgy thing I came across was the wire from coil>condenser. Terminal at the coil end was loose and a bit corroded - I crimped a couple of terminals onto a new bit of wire, so it has now been replaced.
The good news is that I've not had a re-occurrence of the original problem! I'll keep a close eye on things, and if it happens again I'll book into a local classic-friendly garage and let them have a look at it.
