  1. Update, new ignition switch fitted "gland" you were right it still wont run,

    So Iv'e checked volts to coil , +ve ignition on,  NO volts and NO volts at -ve also,

    Turn key to crank motor 12v +ve , and 12volts -ve,

    fit a temp feed from battery to  +ve and car runs great  

    checked the wire from coil +ve to starter relay no breaks or shorts this is the white/yellow wire

  2. Yes that's what is beginning to worry me could the supplier have sent the wrong loom,  3.0ohms is that across the + and - terms 

    my coils measure 3.9 and 3.5ohms

  3. Cheers "gland" I was sure mine is not ballasted,  although I am on my third coil pic below, I have always purchased 12v Lucas coils, this is the coil I was running when I broke down, the first thing I checked was to see if it was hot, I would say hand temp. the car had a new loom when it was restored back in 2015

  4. I'm not sure if this should be in 'elctrics', any way, I was out for a spin last weekend in my MK3 GT6 when i noticed a misfire, about 3k then after a stop at a road junction it missed again about 2k, then a mile up the road it just died. on trying to restart, it would only fire then die many times, once I got it home I started from the beginning clean plugs, check fuel and filter, check for sparks, though not very good, then a friend said ignition switch 'sod off say's I' the key works the starter works, any way I jump from the battery to the coil, jump in the car hit the starter and it runs blinking great at this point my friend has this stupid grin, how, what is wrong, I have a new switch in the post, any ideas guys.

     

  5. Hi Jason just to add another job for you, I used Rimmer's P/No XKC1673FG, then I cut two access points for the speedo drive and gearbox fill port, these are very handy for checking the G/B oil and lubricating the speedo drive, they are held in with a couple of duzes fasteners, 65230019_ScreenShot2021-12-17at15_08_16.png.34575882eef89a70937a209e6812bc33.pngIMG_2787.thumb.jpg.5478b01055c3edf54e9035096c9945fc.jpgIMG_2786.thumb.jpg.7fb07406a3f20c33c04f364a45181f87.jpg
