Frequently asked questions

What is the ERC1353 distributor gear for?
The ERC1353 is the distributor drive gear for the Rover 3.5L V8 petrol engine. It transfers rotational drive from the camshaft to the ignition distributor, and must mesh correctly with the camshaft gear for accurate ignition timing.
Which models and engines does it fit?
This gear fits the Rover 3.5L V8 petrol in the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), Discovery 1 (1989-1998) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1994), covering both twin-carb and EFI versions. Some applications have a VIN range, so check your VIN where a build break applies.
Does the ERC1353 come with the pin and washer?
No, the ERC1353 is supplied without the drive pin and washer. You'll typically need to reuse your existing pin and washer or source them separately when fitting. Check both are in good condition before refitting the distributor drive on the V8.
What are the signs the distributor gear is worn?
Distributor drive gears wear on the teeth over high mileage, which can cause ignition timing drift, rough running or a rattle from the distributor drive on the Rover V8. Severe wear risks the gear stripping, so worn teeth mean replacement before timing is affected.
