Hi I am new to this website.
I have a hi-jet and it will not start, I went to start the car on new years eve and it would not start, I called the breakdown company out and they could not fixed it so they towed me home. The break down guy thought it might be electrical he could not get a spark from the plugs or coil and he could not jump start it. Once home I towed the car to a local garage (not a Daihatsu garage)the bloke at the garage is not sure what the problem is he suggested it could be ignition switch unit got one of these and it still did not work, the bloke at the garage is now saying it could be the distributor but he is not sure. I have tried almost 20 places some local to me and some from the internet but with no luck last week I went into my local Daihatsu dealership they did not have one they checked other Daihatsu dealerships in the uk not one in stock anywhere they said they could order me one from Japan taking at least two weeks with the price over £200. It is now 17th March i'm getting frustated as I just dont know what to do next. Could it be someting else at fault? Any help or suggestions will be of help, thanks in advence Gary
