Home start no go.

I have a 1989 Talbot Swift motorhome that failed to start a week ago and consequently run the battery down,so introduced my jump power pack to still no avail,so then tried jumping it with my Range,still no go,so then took both batteries out and gave them a full charge,still no go so decided to call up Green flag for my home start,they sent 2 techs (and I use that term lightly) they came from 3 miles away in hemel Hempstead called Courvoisier recovery.2 Polish or Romanian guys arrived.1 young guy asked me to turn the engine over so I pulled out the manual choke on my twin webbers and was told that wasn't the way to start it,i laughed and told him this is the way it must be started !,anyway they put a jump pack on like I had,still no go,so then took the coil lead of the distributor cap and rested it against the metal work,no spark,then looked into the distributor itself,said no spark either,i don't know how they would know that as they are electrical points,anyway they came to the conclusion it was the coil that was no good,sign here please.Ordered a new coil and I fitted it,no start,so called a proper tech to take a look,using his test meteres he soon diagnosed the problem to be the ignition module.Ordered one fitted it and away she went.My gripe is that you pay good money to join this rescue service which this club recommends,you should at least get some guys that actually know what to do,understand English and thoroughly give it a good checking out,insted of gestimating the problem and giving you duff information costing you money and time wasting.
