would be a bitch to get a bbq into though

so you have no spark at the points?, did you try a new coil or a second hand one?

yep thats normal for them to get pretty hot

problem found to be faulty condenser......... cheers fellas

yea true that... it has an alarm and immobiliser also but that appears to be working fine when its immobilised theres no power at the coil and when i press the beep beep button there is power there

alright ill grease the rubbing block and also recheck/set the gap tomorro night and yea i gave the points a rub with light grit wet and dry sandpaper before fitting them

ah cant remember now but i looked the points gap up on autodata when i replaced them and yes set at the top of the points cam its been running sweet for the last month.

my little hilux appears to have no spark out the plug leads about a month ago i replaced the coil,plugs,points,dizzy cap and rotor so these should still be fine yes?.. also i do have power to my coil and earth im gonna replace the condenser and earth wire in the distributer tomorro as it looks a little ratty any guidence on other things i should look for would be much appreciated!

hey i think iv been to your house must of been when the previous owners where there nice shed!

i bought round ones for mine there out of a landrover its just a round rubber peice with a bolt out either side an i chopped the old rubber peice off the mount then drilled into that mount put a nut on the other side and that has worked for me no longer breaking engine mounts

well things have changed alot since my last post motor went good and i used it for my daily for a while then i revamped my suspension with new everything got a 2inch exhaust i got sick of the faded red so i primered it

cheers for the help guys iv got everything pretty well sussd now
