Car wont start, no spark.....(Big pics)
Hi guys, Having a lil trouble with the 1.1 golf, it used to run fine but has been laid up for a few months and now wont start.
Theres no spark and its giving about 5v from the coil. (have replaced coil with a new one)
I have found a few plugs that arent connecting and need a little help identifying what they are.
Plus have found a broken wire that appears to be an earth for something…..
Broken wire (on fuse box plug)
Plug 1 (Maybe plug for handbrake and choke lights????)
Unknown plug 2 with 2 spades on it
Any help would be greatly appreciated

Had a look on my gti
Cant see the spade one at all
The 4 pin one looks like my handbrake light plug but i dont have the brown wire
The Big plug is plug D wire/socket no. 15
Is that wire black? or red/black
If that helps anyone
