OK, maybe I should start a "weird landrover stuff" thread.
Once again I get the beast started after much cursing and gnashing of teeth, purchase of NEW BIN024 bosch ignition module (essentially as a threat as I hadn't fitted it yet, still using the salvaged vk one).
Got it running, timed, started on petrol then petrol switch to gas, no problems. Similar to last time.
Switch off. Close bonnet. Then wont re-start. Grrrrrrrrrrr.
There was an earth strap connecting to the bonnet hinge which I moved to use at the coil but surely that wouldn't make a difference? Does the bonnet need earthing? Well, will find out tomorrow!

Well, seems the culprit all along has been a crook vacuum advance unit!
It would start and run after a "rest" but not return.
Hopefully the last instalment!
Now I have a spare distributor, coil, advance, ignition module etc etc!
Love to support the spare parts industry.
