Hi,
I have a 1995 SPi Rover Mini Cooper, and she has somehow decided that she doesn't want to start.
The battery is fully charged, it turns over but won't fire up.
Have used a voltmeter to check that the full 12v is going to the coil. For some reason, there are no sparks coming from the HT lead from the coil into the distributor cap. I have tried a new HT lead that has not made any difference. The coil has a good earth, so I'm running out of ideas?!
Any suggestions would be great.

Treat everyday as your last one on earth! and one day you will be right.
