Thanks for the advice. I've tested them and there are no problems with the plugs or HT leads - or as I have just discovered - with the distributor. There is simply no spark though...

Yes, timing chain is in one bit. Car always used to be a bit slow to start, which I put down to the throttle body... but I've swapped it for a known good one on another K11 and it still won't start. Cam still turning - good point though. There is no spark at all, so not leads or battery etc...

Hello all, My K11 won't fire and there is no spark. I realise that is the vaguest bit of diagnostics that you'll hear all day... but do you have any thoughts on where to start? G.

Does anybody have a good one, please? It's for a '96 998cc K11.

Hello all, Well, the K11 is finally back on the road, though it did need rather more than I had hoped... First of all the boot floor was ruined - this was the crash damage that wrote the car off. The scrappy gas-axed one from another car for us and my Uncle (for whom I bought the car)...

Hi all, The starter appears to be toast on the K11 CVT Micra that I've bought for my uncle. Before I shell out for a reman unit, does anyone know if the starter is the same on both the manual and automatic models? It's a 1996 1.0 if it makes any difference.

Cheers guys, It looked pretty solid underneath, but I'll know more when I jack it up at the weekend. Yep, it's a scrapyard. The vehicle is Cat C (although the damage is very slight) so it will need a VIC before going back on the road.

Hello all. I've just bought this 'splendid' example of a 1.0 Shape Auto for my uncle. He wanted a five door automatic - and they are very hard to come by! It's going to need a few bits to put it back on the road - so doubtless I'll be hassling the group with dumb newbie...
