GOOD DAY ANDRE .

Your distributor cap and rotor arm should also be replaced . Too high a resistance on the H.T. side of your ignition will cause coil , hall sensor , or module failure if left for too long . Check your spark plug gapping aswell . ONE DAY we'll meet for a bit of four wheeling .
Can we get rid of STUPID DRIVERS before they kill us ?

Hi guys,

I have been having issues with my van and one of the things I am Going to do soon is get the entire ignition system redone.

I have been hunting for spares and found a very helpful old man at springs nissan, he has been able to get hold of most of the spare Ive needed, problem is they are very expensive! Over R2k for a set of spark leads.

I came across "Distributor rebuilding centre" in Bedfordview, seems like a knowledgeable outfit, have not used them yet, but intend taking my dizzy there next week.

They say R175 max per cable

Hi Riaan
