The connectors going to the black plug going for the afm are mashed and keep comming out of the plug casing.

are the connectors in the above link the correct ones?

Those will only work if you use the terminals and plug housing. These are the ones you need if you just need the terminals to fit the original housing - http://www.polevolt.co.uk/acatalog/Timer_Connectors.html

Thanks. Not sure which size I need .35 -1 or 1.5 to 2.5mm

[jackherer 543]

You want the smaller size for the AFM wiring. It refers to the wire size in square millimetres, you only need the larger size for wires carrying a lot of current.

A very useful company to know about , some of those connectors might come in useful especially the quick release ones .Shame they do not do the protective rubber boot for the ignition coil loom connector .

Is there a special tool to crimp those terminals onto the end of the wire ?

[jackherer 543]

A normal uninsulated terminal crimp tool works fine, this is the one I use - http://www.vehicle-wiring-products.eu/product.php/269/ratchet-crimping-tool

Connectors bought, there's a £12 minimum order, so ended up buying a few spare.

 

Hoping to use the same connectors to repair the wire from the ignition module to the dizzy.

Currently it has no earthing / sheilding wire.

Trying to think why it would need it anyway, other than improve the radio reception?

The shielding is keeping noise out of the signal wire from sources like the HT leads. I think that wire is available from Bosch dealers and it's worth replacing it with a new one IMO, they are known to cause random engine cutouts and failures to start.

That I'll take some searching for not to mention It'll have to be bought through an Andrew Pages with their 1000% mark up added on top.

Must be a simple easy way to seild this wire, aftermarket style.

H&H might be worth a go. I spent a while looking for the terminals for them with no luck at all, without those I can't see a way to repair or replace them.

The connectors came yesterday, got a few exras FOC, Bonus!

 

Had a word with the sparky at work, says he might have some shielded wire to replace my currently un sheilded dizzy signal wire,
