    Do you have a spare coil that you can test with? No spark from the king lead I'd change the coil 1st if you have a spare.
    Have you got the Bosch amp or the original Lucas one? Sounds like the problems I was having before on the D1

    Cheers Jim

    mmmm well I am none the wiser as to what i did to make it happen but we have ignition and the sweet humm of a V8.

    after much testing things, out of frustration bought a new coil , after trying the old one out of my old XR ute which never achieved anything, along with the original from the car. Fitted new coil , and nothing , still no spark , went thru same testing and same results.

    I removed the dizzy cap and played around with the rotor then unplugged and re - plugged in the amplifier , held down both buttons on the immobiliser for about 30 secs, turned the key and bugger me it started.

    Now where's that donor D1 300tdi hiding.

    Cheers Ean

    Mate it sounds like my d1, I gave it a wash and that was it no start after that. New leads, plugs, amp, different coils and new wiring, advanced and retard timing. Nothing at all, clicked my heels together 3 times whilst rubbing my belly and tapping my head then it fired up. They are bloody tempremental units that's for sure. I'd still keep the rangie a v8 personally, something about a screaming classic it just sounds right lol.
    Glad you got it going!

    Mmmmm - happened again today - no start , so after checking a couple of things 1 x 1 , i come to the amplifier plug on the dizzy, un-plug , check the condition of the plug and the blades , seem ok , check the wires near the plug and cant see no breaks , plug in and vroooommmm away she went.

    SO,

    Never had anything to do with these, are they a replacement thing ? Do they give trouble , or , should i be looking closer at the wiring side.
    looks like the dizzy needs to be raised to remove it , so this will need the timing checked on refitting.

    Suggestions , or, some tests that i should be looking at.

    Thanks and Cheers Ean
