Ok thank you everyone

Hi all, need to try and replace a cable that comes from rear side of engine bay and connects two a 3 prong connector that appears to go into the engine. Situated just under the alternator. Engine is a 2.1. DJ. Not entirely sure what it does. Here's a pic .https://photos.app.goo.gl/W57BBoVoqi9G8FR27 ...

It's a DJ engine using digifant ECU.

Check plugs, check HT leads with multimeter to make sure they are in spec. I suppose could be an injector thats blocked partially, how does it drive? Doesn't seem like its wobbling that bad id expect it to wobble a lot more than that if it wasn't firing on all 4 Drives OK, I did think it maybe runn...

Yeah agreed, replace them?

So it looks like it was timing, after having it adjusted the noise seems to have gone thankfully. I'm still think there is an issue, the engine seems to idle rough and wobbles almost like it's misfiring. I'm keen to get this running right so open to any suggestions and what I, can test myself. It ma...

Thanks for all your suggestions I will check all the suggestions mentioned and report back.

Is the rotor arm in the distributor seated right? Sent from my Pixel 4 using Tapatalk Yes they are, but I have noticed the new cap purchased from heritage I can see the rotor arm is cutting into side wall of cap. Not sure if this is a problem or could cause the noise being that it only happening un...

Crackling metallic sound doesn't sound like a description of a driveshaft/ propshaft noise. It could possibly describe pinking? That might fit with the dizzy swap... What do you have the timing set to? Sent from my moto g(30) using Tapatalk I had someone do the timing as I can't do myself but I'm n...

is the difflock definitely fully off ? If not then the castellations of the sliding collar and differential that interlock might be just touching, would change note with speed, and wouldn't sound stationary, and may change on tight turning as the differential turns around the central axis unequally...

No it has been used but not much... I think the issue appeared after the distributor was replaced. It may just be a coincidence and it's not related. I have visually checked the drive shafts, they aren't loose. I was thinking I've removing the prop shaft. When I have time I will also try and work ou...

Oh here goes again... This seems to be a summer of one thing after another. Right, I posted up an issue few months back with regard an issue with the engine breaking down under load. At the time I bought a second dixxy to see if it was the hall sender which it was and this got refurbed and seem to d...

3 hours later and a little bit of persistence seem to have worked. https://photos.app.goo.gl/KteDE168Fh4JqdNV9 I will consider putting this back together now, does anyone know how far the pin head of the actuator should go into the plunger? I ask becuase I had to drill the old one out as the top had...

Thanks i will give that a go

I literally just realised this as the circlip made no sense. Oh joy, another impossible job that will cost 1000s.

Thanks for help.
