POPPY Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Good evening all i am back from my broken down Ford CMP, Firstly thanks all for all your very helpful tips. After eliminating all the possible faults that you instructed me to investigate, it quickly became apparent that it is most probably the COIL that is to blame for the engine not firing up! There is power to the coil but nothing coming out! On closer inspection there appears to be a large hairline crack on the top of the coil, (also the coil is heavily dented?) I am now looking at sourcing a new 6V Coil to hopefully get her back on her feet:-) Does any one know where i can purchase a 6 V Coil? (Preferably one close to Bristol) Thanks again to you all for your help earlier, it made life so much easier to a guy that has very limited mechanical knowledge:blush: Regards Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arcot1751 Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 Hi Mark, You could try Rex Ward or Universal Jeep Supplies both should have a coil their numbers and contact details are easily found on Google. I have used both for parts and their postage times are usually next day and service second to none. Hope all goes well, best wishes.

earlymb Posted August 20, 2013 Share Posted August 20, 2013 If you have some old-fashioned or long established garages nearby you could see if they may have something on a shelf in the back of the darkest corner of the partsroom... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
