my cars a glanza v if anyone doesnt know

I Finally got my car started yesterday and it was due to the contacts in the distributor cap that were dirty and quite worn down so i am going to be replacing it and while i got it off i may aswell change the rotor arm too but will the cap and arm fit off a uk model 1.3 ep91?? or is it a different part?? cheers starlybruiser (nick)

Well after easter dinner i decided to got out into the cold and remove my Distributor i decided to keep the leads attached save me f**king around unpluging them cuz i can never get them off lol any way i removed it and the 4 points inside were white and there is a slight groove worn into all of them so they didnt really look too good, also the middle terminal was quite badly worn and was black with carbon deposits, so i cleaned all these up and then i looked at the rotor arm and the terminal on there was also black. once it was all cleaned up i re-fitted it and cranked the engine, for a seco

I havent had the car that long, only about a month or so , the battery looks brand new and its got one of them spyglass things on the top to indicate the state of charge which looks very good, its turning over fine but its just not igniting the fuel, its definately getting fuel because you can smell it as your cranking the engine over, its got to be a problem with the ignition system somewhere. i have checked all the lead connections and they seem to be fine so my next plan of attack i think will be the distributor cap, i just really need to get it started for work on tuesday

it turns out my starter motor is working ok, it just sounded a bit different because my car is not firing see i was trying to diagnose this on my own when i really needed someone in the car cranking it while i was outside having a good listen and so on, so i got my mate to crank the car over while the oil cap was off and i could see the cam rotating so this obviously ruled out the starter motor and i thought straight away its got to be ignition related because apparently they are very temprimental?? so i dissconected the ht lead from the spark plug and used a screw driver and put it into the

MY CAR WONT START!! IM SO PI**ED i jusmped in it this morning and it cranked over and started but as soon as i realeased the key it cut out!, then i tried starting it again and the started was spinning but it was spinning as if it was under no load and like the gear had not engaged into the flywheel?? any help in much appreciated could it just be stuck?? cheers starlybruiser

i cant hear it engaging but its spins very fast and i cant hear any whinein??? could it be a bad clutch on the starter??

Not having a good day so far i woke up late this morning after a night at the pub and i was feeling ruff to start with and i had my old saxo booked in for an MOT so i rushed out over to my nans and it wouldnt start so i had to jump start that, then i eventually got to the MOT Station and it failed on brake efficency or some shit like that, so i went back to my house and jumped into my starlet and went to start it, it started but died as soon as it started runnning, i then tried to start it again but the starter motor is just spinning over really fast as if its not engaging into the flywheel?

Ive been trying to deside on my wheels for some time now and ive narrowed it all down to 2 wheels 1. white JSPL's With Polished Lip OR.. 2. white Track - R with Polished Lip??
