Well, fitted another Dis pack to my Mig today, good job I have skinny arms and hands, bit akward to say the least. Scratches on my arms and the back of hands. :(
Haynes Manual has the wrong firing order listed for my car, which had me all confused. :(
However VXL V6 sent me a photo, Thanks, which showed that I was right. :D :D :D
Car has been stood since November and the Battery is flat, no problem, don’t need to put a charger on it cos I have this new all singing all dancing Halfords Powerpack with Jump Start, has a nice light on it, other bits and an Inverter, all of which work.
Connected it up, needed a stool as leads ridiculously short and it didn’t work. Faffed about, getting nowhere, read the instructions, was doing it right, put a multimeter on no power. >:(
Took it back to Halfords and changed it, got home and noticed a big yellow label attached to the handle, actually the old one had one but I cut it off when I bought it. :-[
Label says that car battery must have 1.5 volts of power or this powerpack wont work. How bl&&dy stupid is that? Car only has 1.2 volts.
So I still don’t know if I have got rid of my misfire. :(
Battery charger out tomorrow, for a while anyway.
Here's hoping. :y

welcome to the world of dispack changes - not pretty eh? done a few now.
So the one you took out, any signs of corrosion or damage to it?
-
None, looks really good, better that the one I put in :exclamation :exclamation
untested though, will see tomorrow, I hope.

Heres hoping :y quite often you will have some form of split or corrosion down the sides - but not always.
Intresting the Haynes manual says dis pack is a 4 spanner rated job ( pretty difficult then)

Changing is easy enough if you have the right drivers, it's the access that is difficult, working by feel. :y
The Haynes manual had me oofing for help as I thought I had the leads on the wrong way. :(
