am quite new to this van stuff and having a go at fixing it urself
well ive ordered quite a few spares which i have started fitting in the van
was told to always have a new contact set with u along with other things
well i got a contact set and i dont know were it goes lol ive managed to do most of the other stuff myself
any help ie which seat is it under if it is under one or the rear engine cover
my guess is around the starter motor but i honestly dont know and cant seem to find it in my haynes manual

ayup again just read your other post regarding rotor arm and distributor cap . the points are in there. remove dizzy cap and rotor arm the little fella is hiding behind the rotor arm. a torch , scewdriver and a funny shaped crick in your neck will get the job done noah

Set the gap to 0.6m.m. not 0.4 or 0.5 as stated in the manual.

Get yourself a condenser, this fits to the outside of the distributor, always replace this when changing the points, when they go faulty, they cause all sorts of running & starting problems, i always carry a spare one  |

And clean the distributor body under the condenser till the alloy shines before fitting the new condenser to the body to give a good earth.

Get a condenser jj?
Youv`e got electronic ignition haven`t you so no need for a condenser.
Bad news at my suppliers today. Condensers & c.b. points are no longer available.
Done an internet search with no luck.
Anyone know of alternatives?
Derek.

Thanks JJ.,
Please buy any they have & I will pay you for them.
My factors had them on back order because I buy them a lot from them only to be told by the wholesaler that they are no longer manufactured.
Cheers,
Derek.
