would a misfire be causing these problems do you think?

When i move the lead inside the coil, it doesnt make a difference. Could a misfire be the reason why this is all happening?

do you think that this could be the problem then?

I feel like the end of the ht lead going into the coil should look like this?

well the fuel pump had completely packed up so it was the right choice to buy a new one. however, i still have the problem. i have noticed that the HT leads arent in the best condition and the lead which goes into the coil has some sort of wood screw in the end of it? screwed into the plastic. it is...

well what was happening was i was trying to start it and clearly this uses fuel from the carb, but no more was coming through. i can see in the filter i have on the fuel line from the pump to the carb (and i know you dont approve of this because i have seen you voice this before) but it wasnt fillin...

well its not ticking anymore when i turn the ignition on anymore and not when i tap it either. there was no petrol pumped through when i tried to start it up. i changed the parts in the dizzy too. i've ordered a new pump to try it out.

so i should buy a new petrol pump is what you're saying?

the fuel pump does make a ticking noise sometimes that i can hear in the car when i turn the ignition on, is this the bad thing you're talking about? it is fast at first and then slows and dies down?

ok. well i know this now because the changing of the coil didnt help, it started up and ran nicely but i pulled away and then it just stoppeed and wouldnt start. i saw on a thread before that you claimed buying a new petrol pump or points was a waste of money and thet you should just clean them up w...

also, i havent tried the coil yet, i fitted the part today so i am yet to see if it has cured the problem.

I have had a problem lately with the engine stuttering a bit and coming to a halt when driving, it happens about 3 time in an average 20 mile journey. i have had a look at the contact point in the fuel pump and they seem to be fine and i have swapped over the coil because it had seen much better day...

Im sure jlh will be up for recommending their coilover setup, which i would love to have! but i dont have the funds for that. im not too bothered about comfort if im honest, the minors ride is spine crushing as it is! there are variations of the certain percentage that you can have though so i might...

I have wanting to lower my car for a long time now and i've lowered the back but there is a lot of damage on the passenger side wheel arch which i will have to get fixed this summer but i dont want this to happen again so was thinking about getting a set of uprated torsion bars from the birmingham m...

By how much have they been widened by? look spot on!

they're looking brilliant! mines a 2 door, think that when i get round to affording to get mine banded i think i am going to go with old english white as the colour or dark grey. looking good though! hope you get that rear door sorted out though! looks like a mission!

There is a guy on the retrorides website who does them professionally called james p, he does 4 wheels for £180 and a lot of people on the retrorides thread that i posted about banded wheels and where to get them done said hes very good. i had about 5-6 recomendations of him saying his work is reall...

what is the band on these? about 2"?

Im also proud to report that my dad rang me up the other week to tell me that he couldnt get our citroen c3 started after it had sad there for two weeks, my car which had sat there for over a month without being started but started straight up and jump started the modern car. proud moment.

Havent posted in a long time, at uni at the moment, when i get back for the summer ill be working on my car a lot. Decided to get the wheels banded by 2" and i've already bought new rear springs because the sag has got so bad that its dragged on side of the car down so my mission before anythin...
