If you've put a new condenser in check that the tag is not under the insulating washer - don't ask how I now the car won't start if you do this

coil could either be wired wrong or faulty, change it and try again, |

Have you checked out the lead from the coil to the dizzy? Mine was RS and I wondered why my mini was running badly 
There is no spark at any of the plugs right? 
There are wires going up through the ignition that if unplugged will stop it starting / sparking, look for some white wires joined by round plugs (where the tacho would connect in) |

With the ignition on - open the points by lifting the arm and see if you get a spark at the contacts and tell us what happens |

we tested both the coils by connecting a battery to the terminals and getting a spark from the HT lead, so the coils and the leads are okay |
