Technical Panda with no spark.......

[hadalrob]

My Panda 4x4 has no spark, power is getting as far as the small module on the side of the distributor. So I'm assuming that this is the root cause of the lack of a spark?

Can anyone point me in the direction of a new one, and how much money am I looking at for a new one?

If you mean the condenser, they are literally a couple of quid.

 

[hadalrob]

I'm very new to Panda's but it doesn't look like a condensor to me, far to complicated with to many connections.

See below....

Sounds like the AMP, like what caused my Sisley to brake down on the way to the last Panda meet

Ebay's cheapest place.

Check it looks the same first. Could be like the one pic'ed on the distributer thingy above.

Can't really see from that picture Rob. Had a look in the manual and nothing stands out... I have a feeling MEP will be able to help though

lol

And here's me, ordered the first one I could get my hands on at £40+ from motor factors, got mucked about by them aswell, and then noticed on the bay for £6.50 with free P+P :doh:

Oh sorry. I think the Mk 2 4x4 all had an electronic distributor, so I was probably wrong. (At the edge of my meagre knowledge here)

 

[CLXCraig]

not one on the 750?

Correct. As did some late 1000CL's (I know are's has one, but has got one like the one piced by Rob, and Sisley has one that takes an AMP like in the eBay listing.

Not sure it's that one, the module I'm holiding is a Magneti Marelli alluminium bodied unit with an itegral heatsink.

I've attached a bigger version of the picture, hopefully you can see it now.

[CLXCraig]

thats amp, boosts power then sends the signal to coil and then to distributor.

that only looks like the heatsink. Pop round the local factors or euro car parts rob, always helpfull if i need stuff

 

[hadalrob]

Yup thats the one, and yes it does just look like a heat sink.
I'm sure they'll have one in my local motor factors, especially with the number of cars there fitted to, I'll pop in tomorrow and get one.

Cheers Everyone,

Did you see the price on the box - £44.99 for a heatsink?!!!!

No sign of wires or connections though - maybe someone nicked the amplifier unit from the box and left the heatsink behind?
