Re: 1981 T25 1900 Keeps breaking down. (still! Help)

so I think that I need a dizzy, but I don't want to spend dollars on a new one if i can help it, as if it doesn't work its going to be more waste. does anyone have any advice on where I can get a good second hand one? I see JustKampers sell them for £110 quid. cheers all.

Re: 1981 T25 1900 Keeps breaking down. (still! Help)

quick stupid q. I ordered a dizzy cap, difficult as the chassis number on the van and reg is for a 1600, and it arrived, but I can not fit my ignition leads to it, as the leads have the peg in them? if that makes sense, should I buy new leads? or if there a different type of dizzy cap I need? cheers...

No spare petrol to test, but I started the van, it ran for 15 minutes, cut out, then wouldn't turn over again, just kept turning over. And assume again no spark.

If I go for a new dizzy, that's pretty much all the components replaced, so that may be next step.

Re: 1981 T25 1900 Keeps breaking down. (still! Help)

so update. I'm getting close to loosing faith in the classic, and might have to consider the unspoken thought of selling her on and replacing her with a modern van "Horror" as i don't have the skill or patience to keep messing around. We have sadly not had the time in the van we had hoped ...
