Whoops

I finally deemed it warm enough to come out of hibernation and go into the garage and now wish I hadn't. Went to the car and found it have left the ignition switched on for couple of days. What are the chances of my coil surviving That?

I did try to get a spare one using the numbers off it over the winter but was unable to get a replacement so may need to find an alternative.

Have you tried it? assuming it's a points dizzy if the points were open then there is no power to the coil.

If u put up numbers kevin i mite have one got a few depends it they ones you if it required

It's not a points dizzy. I am going to try it later. I think the coil is off an astra or maybe a cavalier. I tried to find another cap for the dizzy but had no luck until I took it to a motor factors in Peterborough, I suppose I will have to do the same with the coil if it's knackered but that won't be until my day off which is a week tomorrow. Thats the trouble with living here there's no shops only estate agents and charity shops.

No, that's where I get my clothes from. Surprisingly enough I still seem to have a good spark although I think the battery has had it. I thought it was on the way out but it should be easy enough to get a replacement.
