wonderboy:
Having a few pretty big problems with the disco.  Its stopped starting.  In the past few weeks ive had to repair someone elses poor job of fitting the wiring for the LPG conversion.  At the time this was stopping it from starting now and then.  Now since ive done that it wont start at all.  Starter motors turning over but it wont fire.  It was working fine once the repair was done but now its had to be abbandoned on a side street as it cut out in the middle of town and wont start again!  

Has anyone any ideas?  Its a 1993 3.5 V8.

Cheers Adam

lambert:
not being fatuous but does it have some fuel in it?

wonderboy:
Its got both petrol and gas in.

wonderboy:
Well ive had a look, it seems that the coil could be the cause.  Getting a low resistance of about 7 Ohms in the second coil, the haynes manual suggets that it should be more like 2000-3000.  Am i right in thinkimg this could be the cause? I'm getting 12v to both LT points.

Easy to check with a spare plug, you should see a fat blue spark if you rsst it on the engine and turn it over.  Easy to check by fitting another though.
