I don't believe a servo would come with the horseshoe bit of plastic.

Part numbers in above pic which are probably relevant are

4 - 114595800

5 - 114595783

27 - 114595761

Bear in mind officially the Favorit parts are no longer in production. You could still try call a dealer and ask if they can get hold of them though. Other possibility is to ask Jorily.

If the distributor does move, this will mean the timing is out and it would lead to jerking. The same happened with me - and it got bad enough for the car to actually stop running. I would personally swap the distributor and get the timing lined up first, as it's an easier job than doing anything with the servo. There is no mechanical retard/advance system (it's handled electronically) in the distributor so it should not move back and forth.

Hi, i ordered servo and distributor from jorily, and i pointed out the 3 seals that i needed and was told they all come with the servo, as its also leaking there, so will need them, cheers

The distributor can rotate 360 so it needs to be in the correct location. You need to turn the engine to TDC. There's a marking with numbers on the engine block most likely covered in muck/crud, and a mark on the crankshaft (the bit the drive belt goes round at the bottom) which is rather difficult to make out. Then there is a dot on the distributor under the cap which is very obvious, and with the engine at TDC, the rotor arm needs to point to this. Note with the line on the engine being next to 0 on the engine block, there are two possible positions the engine is in. One will have the rotor arm pointing away from the mark, and one at the mark. Use the existing one as a guide.

To turn the distributor there is a 10mm clamp nut & bolt holding it in an extension tube. You loosen this and turn as desired. It's worth bearing in mind on old/used ones these will be difficult/impossible to turn - best way is, with distributor off the car, to completely remove this bolt and use brute-force to extract, then renew the o ring oil seal inside the distributor and reassemble. Try and get the new distributor in as close a position as possible to the old one so you won't need to turn much - remember it will turn as you push it in when the drive gear meshes with the engine internals. The replacement can be checked for movement off the car by grasping the gears at the bottom and checking for free movement at the rotor arm.

you said "then renew the o ring oil seal inside the distributor" will my new distributor come with this seal ? as if it dont what do i do, thx

If the distributor comes with the extension tube (the bit the two bolts hold it to the engine block with) it will be there.
