I had problem related to Ballast resistor,one of the fixya expert provided me with help link to confirm the fault:----- How to Test and Replace Ballast Resistor in Car? http://repairhelpcenter.blogspot.com/2011/12/how-to-test-and-replace-ballast.html ============ These link helped me,thanks.More help is appreciated.
When running it goes well but to start needs a jump lead connecting the positive terminal on the battery to the positive terminal on the coil. Without that it just doesn't produce enough voltage at the moment, but when the new coil etc was fitted a couple of weeks ago it was producing what it should I think and started ok for about 4 or 5 times.
I am wondering if it can be related to the ballast resistor.
It is a MK2 car so shouldn't have a seperate one I think but have it incorporated into the loom - am I right? Mine has a seperate one and I am wondering if there is one in the loom too.
Could having a seperate one short / burn out the coil? Any other thoughts?
SOURCE: turns over but won't start
Is the rotor turning in the distributor? If so, most likely the problem is in the madnetic pickup in the distributor. If not, pull the distributor out and see if the gear on the shaft is broken. A good gear on the distributor and the distributor not turning means you need a timing chain!!!

Swap the left head light for the right headlight,if it still does not light up,on the side that you are having problems with,then the ballast is bad,That is,if it is a new bulb.
