Aftermarket Part
Aftermarket: Quality alternative. This is a quality alternative, designed to fit and function like the original part, often at a more competitive price.
Ignition Coil for the V8 petrol ignition system. It converts the low-voltage supply into the high-tension voltage that fires the spark plugs through the distributor.

This is a ballast-type (low-resistance) coil designed to operate through an external ballast resistor. The resistor drops the supply voltage during normal running and is bypassed on cranking to give a stronger spark for starting. It must be used with a matching ballast resistor (companion part 134176) and should not be fitted to a full-voltage system without one.

Frequently asked questions

What does the 8510047R V8 ballast ignition coil do?
The 8510047R is a ballast-type ignition coil for the Land Rover V8 3.5 petrol ignition system. It converts the low-voltage supply into the high-tension voltage that fires the spark plugs through the distributor. Being a low-resistance coil, it's designed to run through an external ballast resistor.
Does the 8510047R need a ballast resistor?
Yes, the 8510047R is a ballast (low-resistance) coil and must be used with a matching external ballast resistor, companion part 134176. The resistor drops the supply voltage during normal running and is bypassed on cranking for a stronger starting spark. Don't fit it to a full-voltage system without a ballast.
Which Land Rovers use this V8 ballast coil?
The 8510047R suits V8 3.5 petrol Land Rovers, including the Series 2 and 3 V8 (such as the 109 V8 and Stage 1), the Defender up to 2006, and the Range Rover Classic. Confirm your ignition is the ballast type before ordering, as full-voltage systems need a different coil.
