And if a skilled mechanic from the AA who has has a look can't get your engine started how do u think we can you haven't even told us what test you have done.

You haven't given us any clues. Have you done a search?

Do you know if this is an ignition problem or an injection problem. Have you run standard ignition tests? (search!!!!!!!!!!)

are you running lpg or petrol?
ide find out which bores are firing, take the plugs out hold em against the block while they are plugged in and watch for spark, if you find some not working, trace it back. if non its further back.

Seems to have the same issue doc evil has ...



His engine appears to be made of cake...

Did you change the ignition amplifier with the dizzy?

Probably best to pop over to 'Introduce yersen' section and .....errrrm....introduce yerself and yer Landy. It'll save you grief later.

Then, after a good read of the V8 section and if you dont find the answers you need post a new thread with your problem.....


Then start looking for a tdi
