Hi Gav, sorry for the late reply. Hope your getting sorted. Here is the Coil Pack/plug lead locations from my 4.6.
Looking in from front (Grille)

COIL PACK, Left to right
2, 3, 4, 7, 8, 5, 6, 1.


PLUG LEADS
Left Bank 2 (Front), 4, 6, 8.

Right Bank 1 (Front), 3, 5, 7.

Keep plodding on..Shout if you want more info. etc.:tea::smokin:

cheers for that, it was wired up correctly, rings have gone!

gutted for you gav,what your plan renew the rings and bearing shells?

well mine aint getting done today,i couldn,t get the bits from lawnrover for today mon was the earliest,so i ordered them from island 4x4 yesterday morning and they said they would be here today guess what they didn,t turn up,like the last lot off parts i ordered,and after being treated like **** on the phone asking when they would arrive,ive cancelled them and i will be going elsewhere in future.in the meantime my local auto factors has ordered me a bottom gasket kit for tommorow morning only £3 more than the idiots at 4x4

so looks like we,ve both had a bad day

yeah i'm gonna get it all stripped again and get new rings and shells, for the sake of a few more quid i might aswell!

You two boys are really having a load of bad luck. Gav..shop around for your engine bits, forget "Genuine" bearings and rings..Land Rover never made their own, they were supplied by the likes of Vandervelle or Glacier and AE for the rings. If you have a branch of Ferrari Piston Services (FPS) locally, they should be able to supply all the shells, rings and even the gasket sets. Make sure you have a piston ring compressor for fitting the pistons back in with the new rings on.
Andy, you ain't faring much better...always a hold up, late delivery etc. etc. when your waiting to get stuck in.
Just shout lads if you need more advice.:frusty::ballchain:

could do with a bit of irish luck on these bag's of the proverbial

well i get my bits tommorow,then i,ll get it sorted,then it,s going to go the wife has decided she doesn,t want it anymore as it,s more trouble than it,s worth,so god knows what will replace it,i fancy a new disco but the wifes looking at a maybe a landcruiser just don,t know what the future holds yet??????

i know mines fooked but i wont be getting rid cos ive devoted so much time to it.

i wouldn,t have got shot gav but now that we are back to one car for the time being it,s not been reliable and my wife needs it for work,as there is only her wage coming in at the moment,untill i can get a job,which at the moment doesn,t look likely as more people are getting laid off

fps just off Rutland rd in Sheff if you need em Gav

i was under the redundancy threat just coming up to and just after crimbo, luckily the metals industry is recovering and things are getting more stable, even had some o/t. i think the company responded well to the global situation and managed to put measures in early to avoid major losses. keep yr chin up, i know how depressing it can be sat at home without a job, been made redundant when steelworks closed and with the hundreds of others it was hard to find suitable paid work but if you keep looking something will turn up. fate has a way of paying hard workers. also a fair bit of interview bull**** helps!!!
