B3 spark issue
Hi all. I have been having a problem where I will just all of a sudden lose spark, either when trying to start or mid way through a journey. I've fitted new leads, plugs, rotor arm, dizzy cap and yesterday the hall sensor. After replacing hall sensor I tried to start, there was no spark. Taking the ...

Re: Engine cutting out on B3 estate
RAC ruled out the coil as they tried a replacement. Hall censor should arrive tomorrow so going to fit it on Sat and keep my fingers crossed. Where is the ignition switch?

Re: Engine cutting out on B3 estate
Me too!
The RAC bloke mentioned it could be the ECU.
Would you recommend a new dizzy if the Hall Sensor does not fix it?

Engine cutting out on B3 estate
Hi all. I am having a current fault where I can have the engine running and after a while it will just cut out. As if someone has turned off the ignition. I have had the RAC out to look at it but they cannot fix it. They have tested the coil and this is fine. I was told by the RAC man that it could ...

Replacement body panels / Bonnet
Good morning everyone.
Some toe rag has decided to jump all over my bonnet last night.
They've done a proper job of it! I think a replacement bonnet is the only solution.
Can anyone direct me to any sites that sell B3 panels?

Thanks to you both!
I will have a look at the weekend.If replacing the fan does not help where is the resistor pack / thermal fuse located and are these parts easy to source if replacement is required?
