Try the coil, mate. Have you tried disconnecting the king-lead at the distributor end, holding it near the block and checking for a spark when you crank it over? I asume you`ve checked electrical feeds to coil etc.

I have checked for spark at the king verry verry verry lite orange spark, I'm brand new to the land rover world, love it but starting to hate it.

should be blue and loud sounds like a coil problem..

the rig · Nov 18, 2007

yea thats what I thought(blue)

live in the US not a lot of landy parts local, what will cross fit

Steve the scrute · Nov 18, 2007

Get a decent ballasted sports-coil, (one that has a 9 / 10 volt input) and try that but check the amplifier earths first, just in case.

Pikey · Nov 18, 2007

fook knows usually any coil will do for test purposes. I suppose any 3.5 or 4.0 v8 coil will do. a buick is probably closest. Might be worth posting this on a US site.

sounds crazy but whats the earths? the grounds?

Pikey · Nov 18, 2007

Aye negative not live or positive. I'd forgotten you'd mutilated the finest language on the planet. Shame on you all

the rig · Nov 18, 2007

are firing problems common with these rigs

the rig · Nov 18, 2007

cant help the langage, but we are all brothers of the land

No finest example of british automotive engineering you'll ever find. Don't believe that crap about em leaking oil either. It's a nasty false rumour put about by Landrovers opposition

Steve the scrute · Nov 18, 2007

yes, mate. Can`t remember off the top of my head what my V8 had, but I seem to think there`s an amplifier on the side of the distributor (I`m sure the guys will correct me if I`m wrong!) and if there`s corrosion anywhere on the earths / grounds it`ll affect the spark. Always worth checking engine to chassis ground as well.

the rig · Nov 18, 2007

the only earths I've noticed are the the one going to the coil, and the bolt holding the amplifier bracket in place

the rig · Nov 18, 2007

the amplifier has been moved to the left front next to the radiator, doesn't leak anything even at 140,000 and very pleased with it performance on the country

Are you sure it's a landrover?

the rig · Nov 18, 2007

I think my kids like it more than me
