got a 1987 T25 caravelle 1900cc automatic watercooled.bought it last nov.have had a full service, changed HTleads points condenser starter motor only thing didnt do was change spark plugs as the ones in the van looked ok.When you start engine and pull away the van is very sluggish and it feels like there is a drop in power.to be fair the van has been stood for a while.after taking the van for a good drive out things improved but still not right.gets to 2000 revs and power drops.

everything fine after you get to 20mph

When did the problem occur, after you bought it or since you changed parts?

First thing that leaps out at me is points and condenser!? You've got the wrong dizzy on there for a DG - should be electronic ignition on all DGs.

Electronic ignition was fitted at the factory.

Er, thanks Kev.
You said in 7 words what i failed to make clear in 30. Must be more succinct...er.

OK

Lol

Damn, still one letter more than you!

As above succint answers = ignition curve is either not right and/or advance just isn't happening. Will feel like the back of your van is on taught elastic

Please not let it be a 009 dizzy.

Thanks for your help.here are the part numbers for points 059_998_051/b and condenser 028_905_295/b which I have fitted could someone confirm if these are the correct ones

Need part number of distributor

027_905_207

That seems to be the number for the dizzy cap. Did you take the number from the side of the metal body of the dizzy?

No that number from paperwork with the parts I bought
