so beg of feb disco broke down, had tests done was told it was distributor, had that fitted got working again, orderd new spark plugs oil filter etc, shes been driving fine for 6 days then just cut out on me, had road side recovery he had a look and said it was the coil, been out got a new coil and she still wont work, had new dizzy, plugs and coil the ht leads arnt sparking could it be that they now need replacing?

starting to get very anoyed with her as i live in the middle of no where and have no car yet again
 
nope dont think it has well i havent got an imobiliser key anyhows narrowed it down to the coil not letting sparks out this is what the old one was doing aswel.
£200 lol ive spent more than that on new parts in the last 3 weeks :p id rather keep her if i can get her reliable.
 
not sure if it helps you butwould range rover coils do the job for you. only asking cos there is a guy up your way that breaks raniges.

try a genuine rotor arm and dizzy cap first.

sorry did not read other bit about coil, might sound silly but have you checked the fuse for the ignition

it is a genuine rotor arm a dizzy cap and dizzy only been in 6days.
i have no idea if range rover will be same ive just spent £39 on a brand new coil and still no joy
 
nope not fuses just checked them all unless theres some more somewhere, the onlyone under the bonnet are 2 15amp which arnt used as im asuming they are for spotlights that were removed before my ownership
 
circuit tester, or there is the strike an earth on it and see if it sparks, be careful though, it aint really a health and safety approved way of doing it.
 
ecu , coil or amp. as the dizzy is new and made by lucas that doesnt mean you can rule it out-because its made by lucas in the uk and we are ****e at making cars!
 
ave checked all wires etc had my head under the bonnet for more than 4hours yesterday checking wires hoses etc that they were all in place and clamped down.
Going to wiggle the dizzy today see what happens maybe shes knocked out of alignment???? is that possible.
