Distributor Module for the 3.5L Rover V8 petrol engine, used with the earlier single-coil electronic ignition system. It forms part of the distributor and ignition assembly.

The module is the electronic ignition amplifier that switches the primary circuit of the ignition coil. Triggered by the signal from the distributor pickup, it controls coil charging and discharge to produce the spark.

An adapter lead (STC1212) is required to fit this module and should be ordered alongside it.

Frequently asked questions

What does the STC1184 distributor module do on the Rover V8?

The STC1184 distributor module is the electronic ignition amplifier that switches the ignition coil's primary circuit on the 3.5L Rover V8. Triggered by the distributor pickup signal, it controls coil charging and discharge to produce the spark, working with the earlier single-coil electronic ignition.

Which Land Rover models use the STC1184 module?

The STC1184 module fits the 3.5L V8 petrol engine in the Defender (1987-2006, SU twin-carb), Discovery 1 (VIN FA393361 to WA799999, twin-carb and EFI) and Range Rover Classic (V8 EFI, to VIN HA610293 and from JA610294). VIN breaks apply, so confirm yours against the ignition system fitted.

What are the signs the distributor module has failed?

A failing distributor module on the Rover V8 typically causes misfiring, cutting out when hot, or a no-spark no-start. These modules are heat-sensitive and can break down as they warm up, then recover once cool. Because it switches the coil directly, a failed module usually kills the spark entirely.

Will the STC1184 fit my existing wiring without changes?

The STC1184 may need an adapter lead to match the connector on some applications, as the plug changed across the V8 ignition systems. Check that your existing module's connector matches before fitting, and order the correct adapter lead if it doesn't.
