polecat paul Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Hi all, have just purchased a BV206 (petrol version) which has'nt been started for 12 months , before i went to pick it up the guy said the batteries needed charging and so would do this before i went to do the deal , went up and was shown how to start it , turns over but wont start , following day went up to check it over , found that there is no power going to the coil, so called Leavesleys who had sold it to the guy i was buying it off to pick there brains and was told that there was a grey box on the inside off the engine bay (lucas part) that the power for the coil comes from ,he seemed to think that it had gone, new price .....£1200, but he had some second hand ones for ....£350!!, before the chap i,m buying it from goes to the exspense of buying one is there any way to check this box or does anyone know of a Bv being broken , or thirdly Anyone know if this box was fitted to any other vehicle.....

polecat paul Posted September 25, 2011 Author Share Posted September 25, 2011 Have taken the grey box off today and it is a "Bosch" unit with the nos 0 227 100 040 on it , we put a gizmo that did a direct feed from the battery to the distributor and it fired up so this unit seems to be at fault , anyone got any ideas?

m109a3uk Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Run an ignition live to the coil. Not sure what the box does on a BV, open the box and have a look inside you may see the fault or at least see whats in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
