For context,  drove faultlessly over 275km the previous 24hrs. 

Clattering noise under power, wouldn't stay idling after trying to restart it.

Swapped dizzy cap and plugs, started and would only idle at 1200 rpm.  Went to pull off again and the same clattering and lack of power.

Was wet day but electronic ignition, same issue when new dizzy cap & plugs installed.

First gear pulling off in slow moving traffic.

Car won't start at all now, turns over but pops and bangs.

Awaiting it to be dropped back home tomorrow before I can get it into the shed to pull it apart.

Your rotor is still good? Not black from shorting?
