help wiv buying a nova

[deankenny]

i want to a buy this nova 1.2 but she says it only lights on 3 cylinders then kicks into 4 is this serious or shall i avoid his car?

[Adam]

How much is it?
It may only be a dody HT lead to that plug, or dizzy cap or summit.
But then again it could be serious

[deankenny]

was up for ?195 now they r letting it go for ?150 now

[Riggy]

if the shell is solid buy it and if the engine is fucked just change it , it is a very simple job on novas :D

[deankenny]

they say it does start once the 4th kicks in, but i dont know much bout cars so i dont want one that needs work coz i dont have a clue where to go!

[Adam]

If you can't swap engines etc then i wouldn't bother. But as riggy said its pretty easy, and if it is a good shell you could have a nice solid nova, and out a SR engine in or summit.

If it is not sparking on number 4 then it is easy, plugs, leads or dizzy cap. If it is not firing on no 4 then it could be a little worse.
