You do know about breakers I presume so you must have missed North west VW when you searched for one.
Specialists in all things T3

Call Mick... http://www.nwvw.co.uk/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

Just got a great deal from him for some parts. Great chap to deal with. And so helpful.

So to conclude.

My friend gave me an old manta bosch dizzy, which i plucked the hal sensor out form, and rebuilt my dizzy, and it started yeah!! so I bought a second hand unit for NW as recommend so thanks forum, it arrived today, fitted it and same result car runs fine, but I'm happier its with a vw unit, not messed with by my clumbsy hands.

so took her for a run and 30 mins later still working.

Thanks for the opportunity to share te experience, and thanks for the advise about 1. the HAL sensor and 2. NW Breakers.

all the best

I recall it would run for 2 hours sometimes before breaking down, so maybe be cautious for a while yet...
Fingers crossed!
Btw, I hate to say I told you so, but back in August I told you so. [WINKING FACE]
