Re: No spark

It doesn’t have an ignition amplifier?

We’re all 1.9dg engines fitted with ignition amplifiers?

If so, does it mean my van has had an aftermarket ignition system fitted?

No spark

Hi everyone, I really hope someone can help me. Background. My 1.9dg used to run just fine. It sat for approx 6 months and then just wouldn’t fire up. I could get it started by putting a bit of unleaded directly into the carb, and then it would run for about 5-10 minutes.. I had my van moved to a ne...

I don't know what the choke flap looks like. I'm not really mechanically minded. I was hoping it would be an easy answer, like replacing the fuel lines etc.

1.9dg starting problem

Hi everyone. My 1989 1.9dg has been sat for a while while I’ve been having bodywork done (approx 6 months) We fully charged the battery and tried to start it with no joy. We removed the air box thing on top of the carb and put some fuel directly into the carb because we thought it might need to star...

Body Kits

I know this has been covered previously, but the posts seem to be really old now.

So, I am looking to build a list of body kits that are currently available for the old brick.

Hope you guys can help :)

Re: Starting problem

So, I think I’ve found the problem.. We’ll, the multiple problems.. First, the trigger wire had come off so I put that back on and it went back to a horrible clunking sound.. I decided to remove the starter and was shocked with what I found. There was a washer between the starter and the bell housin...

Starting problem

Hi everyone. I’m hoping for some sound advice before going out and buying replacement parts that may not be needed. I have a 1989 1.9 DG. It’s been sat for a couple of months. I came to start it today and it turned over but no start. It normally cranks and with a few pumps of the accelerator, starts...
