If you have spark from the coil and none from the dizzy, check/ replace the ignition lead from the coil to the dizzy and check the dizzy cap for damage and that the little spring loaded carbon button in the middle of it that contacts the rotor arm is still there and under spring tension and contacts the rotor.
Check the dizzy isnt full of water/mud or has ANY condensation inside the cap.

If theres no spark at all, It could be, blown engine fuse. U say u have fitted a new dizzy, does this include the crank sensor?? Or it could be the ignitor module,, although unlikely..

If it's EFI, try unpluging all the connectors to ingition modules, sensors and ECU as there may be corrosion on the pins. Resetting these plugs can make a new connection, and look at the pins, if you see scaly grey stuff, that's corrosion. It can be scraped off.

reading the Jackaroo manual for the 2.6L which is a 4 ZE1 engine it mentions

Defective coil, condensor (compacitor) or high tension leads.
