Distributor cap types

[Pauld123]

I want to get a new distributor cap as I see a lot of oil leaking around mine and the car won't cold start. This morning I had to blow a hairdryer at the distributor for ten minutes before it burst to life. So I suspect it is letting in moisture.

Anyway the suppliers keep telling me that there are two types on their system. I think all the petrol distributors for the K11 were the same and all they are seeing is two different manufacturers for the exact same product.

Am I right or were there indeed two different types?

Facelift, prefacelift?
(Coilpack, dizzy)
Perhaps they are different?
I'm not sure

Sorry

Coilpack doesn't have a distributor, so it must be for the 1.0 or 1.3 id guess

Yeah it's a 1.0 GX. As far as I know they are all the same for the K11 petrol engines. Does anyone know if that's right?
