Get in!!
My BX lives again!! (see http://bxclub.co.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=6046)
It was the coil. I swapped in the one I took off my other Meteor... bingo!
So it *will* be coming to the BX Challenge!! I'm dead chuffed, especially as I'm moving house at the weekend!
Thanks to David (ellevie) and all others who offered advice, hints and encouragement.

It makes sense for anone driving a petrol car to carry a spare coil and ign. amp really..Philip chidlow wrote:Superb, Mate. Does this mean all us 16 owners should carry a spare coil pack around with us?
I damn near carry a spare engine in the boot of mine...
Well done chap!
Smokes lots, because enough's enough already!
Far too many BX's, a bus, an ambulance a few trucks, not enough time and never enough cash...

Maybe we ought to! Does anyone know which BXs share the same coil (multiplug, not early spade connector style) - or are they the same on all non-injected petrol models?Philip chidlow wrote:Superb, Mate. Does this mean all us 16 owners should carry a spare coil pack around with us?
Funnily enough, the module off the "dead" Meteor was Magneti Marelli, but the coil was Bosch. The module on the eBay car is Bosch but the duff coil was Magneti Marelli!

Well, anything can fail at any time really but:
I'd carry:
coil
Ign amp.
Leads.
plugs
Dizzy cap
Rotor arm
a length of cable
And the all important test meter, failing that, a trouble lamp!

Looks exactley the same as the valver coil mate, as did the one on the 16TRS!
Although yeah, I've seen 16TRS' with standard coils.
The square ones seem pretty common on alot of PSA stuff..
