Electronic Distributor for the ignition system of the 4-cylinder petrol engine.

It distributes high-tension voltage from the ignition coil to each spark plug in the correct firing order. The electronic type replaces the traditional contact-breaker points and condenser with an electronic trigger and switching module, delivering a more consistent spark and removing the need for routine points adjustment.

Frequently asked questions

What does the electronic distributor do?
The electronic distributor sends high-tension voltage from the ignition coil to each spark plug in the correct firing order on the 4-cylinder petrol engine. The electronic type replaces the old contact-breaker points and condenser with an electronic trigger and switching module for a more consistent spark.
Which engines does this distributor fit?
This distributor fits the 2.25L 4-cylinder petrol Series II, IIA and III, and the 2.5L 4-cylinder petrol Defender from 1987 to 2006. It's for the 4-cylinder petrol engines only, so confirm your engine is the 4-cyl petrol rather than a diesel or V8 before ordering.
What's the advantage of the electronic type over points?
The electronic distributor removes the contact-breaker points and condenser, so there's no routine points-gap adjustment and the spark stays more consistent as the engine wears. It typically gives easier starting and steadier running than the original points setup, while distributing voltage in the same firing order.
What are the signs the distributor needs replacing?
A worn distributor typically shows as misfiring, difficult starting, or rough running as the trigger or advance mechanism wears. Cap and rotor wear can also weaken the spark. Moving to the electronic type removes points-related faults and restores a steady, reliable spark across the rev range.
