Rotor Arm for the Lucas distributor in the ignition system of the 2.0L and 2.25L 4-cylinder petrol engines (up to engine suffix C).

Driven by the distributor shaft, the rotor arm routes the high-tension spark from the coil – via the centre contact of the distributor cap – to each spark plug lead in turn as it rotates. A cracked or eroded rotor arm causes misfire, weak spark and hard starting.

Frequently asked questions

What does the RTC3612 rotor arm do?
The RTC3612 rotor arm sits inside the distributor cap and passes the HT spark from the coil to each spark plug lead in turn. This Lucas-type arm fits 4-cylinder petrol engines up to ignition suffix C on Land Rover Series models. Without a working rotor arm the engine won't run.
Which engines does this rotor arm fit?
This rotor arm fits Land Rover Series 1, Series 2, 2A and Series 3 with 2.0 and 2.25 petrol engines running Lucas-type ignition, up to engine suffix C. It's the correct arm for the early distributor. Later engines with a different distributor need a different rotor arm.
How do I know when a rotor arm needs replacing?
A worn rotor arm usually causes misfires, hard starting, or a rough idle as the contact tip erodes or the arm tracks to earth. It's a low-cost ignition part on these Lucas systems and is typically renewed with the distributor cap. A cracked arm can stop the engine running entirely.
What does 'to suffix C' mean for this rotor arm?
'To suffix C' refers to the engine suffix letter in your engine number. This rotor arm suits Series petrol engines up to suffix C, which use the earlier Lucas distributor. If your engine is a later suffix, check the distributor type before ordering. Cross-references include BE 0296 and 245005.
