Points

[monkeyboysee]

I've searching on brickwerks, can't find points or rotor arm, can anyone point me to them. Or elsewhere if bw don't do them. Cheers

What engine have you got?
Only some 1600 CT engines had points which are the same as late bay window points, all others had electronic ignition.

starnge update

while trying to work out why my exhaust is sounding a bit rough, decided to look in the engine and found the distributor cap was a bit loose. took it off to reseat it, and found... no points? distributor looks quite new, has it been replaced with a different type?

There should be a part number on the side of the body.

Wasn't it only the US market injection models that had points from new? That's what my manuals say, anyway.

Doesn't look very new to me...and the 'BERU' stamp on the cap means it's a quality german part so I doubt it's been tampered with.

all the terminals etc inside the cap are clean and don't look worn down etc, maybe its the cap thats quite new? we've had the van just over a year and haven't used it much so it could be quite new. the rotor arm looks ok too, but i'm going to put a new one on and put the old one in as road spares.

from other conversations i just assumed that there would be points in there, if its not something "wrong" then i'm happy.

Good to see that someone has done the essential attention to the rubber petrol pipes
And good to see proper fuel hose clips (not tiddly jubilee clips). Are the other fuel pipes in good / new nick ? This is an important subject on these vans

Hi mate, yeah did a lot of posts on the subject as I couldn't work out the size needed. I eventually went to the car spares shop. He recomended I leave the fuel line itself as its plastic and looked as new. I came away with the larger tube and fuel line clips and a filter and replaced all of it from the fuel tank onwards. Even found a bit of hose pipe!

But the vacuum hose needs replacing as it is on it's last legs.

Which bit is that? The white tube?

[Oldiebut goodie]

The black rubber joining piece on the end of the white nylon tube.

Hmm, there's a few bits like that, might get my finger out, what do I ask for?
