Frequently asked questions

What does the distributor assembly do on the 3.5L V8?

The distributor assembly routes high-tension voltage from the coil to each spark plug in firing order on the 3.5L V8 twin-carburettor (SU) petrol engine. It also controls ignition timing as engine speed and load change. It fits Defender, Discovery 1 and Range Rover Classic V8 models.

Which Land Rovers does this distributor fit?

This distributor fits the 3.5L V8 twin-carb (SU) petrol engine in the Land Rover Defender (1987-2006), Discovery 1 (VIN FA393361 to WA799999) and Range Rover Classic (1986-1991, to VIN HA610293). Confirm your engine is the twin-carb V8, not the injected type, before ordering.

What are the signs the distributor needs replacing?

A worn distributor on the 3.5L V8 typically shows as misfiring, rough idle, hard starting or erratic timing. A worn advance mechanism, cracked cap or failing pickup can all cause this. Poor spark distribution reduces performance and fuel economy.
