Frequently asked questions

What is the RTC6551G ignition lead set and what does it include?
The RTC6551G is a complete ignition lead set for the 3.5L Rover V8 petrol engine. It carries the high-tension spark from the distributor to the plugs, and includes the eight spark plug leads plus the coil (king) lead. The silicone insulation resists heat, oil and moisture.
Which Land Rovers does this V8 lead set fit?
The RTC6551G fits the 3.5L Rover V8 in Defender, Discovery 1, Range Rover Classic and Series III Stage 1, in both carburettor and EFI distributor-ignition form. On Discovery 1 it suits engines to VIN LA081991, and Range Rover Classic to VIN LA647644. Confirm your engine number.
Why do ignition leads fail, and what are the symptoms?
Ignition leads typically fail as the insulation ages and breaks down, letting the spark leak to earth. Symptoms include misfires, rough idle, poor starting in damp weather and a drop in performance. Renewing the full set restores a clean, strong spark to all eight cylinders.
