little more info would help re-- petrol or diesel. etc cheers
 
Sorry for delay in reply computer trouble,it's 1900 petrol
if petrol it will be the old 405 peugeot engine probably with distributor as opposed to electronic ignition so problems got to be either petrol or ignition firstly i would check i have a good spark at the plugs if not then check points in dizzie make sure there is a good spark and that the gap is near accurate if that is all ok and still wont fire then check carb main jet make sure its not blocked carb may need complete overhaul. if your not ok with old technology i suggest you find yourself an old fashioned mechanic someone at least fifty years old who may have worked on the old peugeots 305s and 504s. hope this gives you some guidance

Its got electronic ingnition when bought it from Southampton it ran buitifully stop it a few times on way home, started in the morning from B and B now since then just fires over and sometime will fire once,apart from the battery light on dash no more come on when key turned if that helps, many thanks
 
It's electronic ignition turns over but won't fire, apart from battery light on the dash no others are

as said either electrics or petrol have you checked either as suggested. you may be wiser going to TalbotOC cracking forum loads of advice on your engine and running problems. try and give as much info as possible hope you find solution.
