If the rotor button is the cause I'll be asking the same thing when i go back to get a new one. Its a very well know parts supplier and the dude basically said this does the same job, but its a lot cheaper. Nothing about the fact that I'd have to replace it in under 6 months. Didn't think I'd have to research a rotor button replacement...Quote:

I swear it even runs even better than before the misfiring even raised its head.
For anyone interested here is the 6 month old after market rotor (not even 5000km's) and the new genuine Lucas product. $30 difference.

Ironic isn't it? Years of Lucas products being bagged by just about everyone and now the only one that works is Lucas. ;)
My Disco has done 210 000km on the same Lucas rotor arm and I read about the dodgy ones on aulro :D

I'm cut I threw my old one out. It only got replaced because it was a service item for that particular service. Otherwise it did 10 years of trouble free service.Quote:

AND.....
Check the operation of the vacuum advance mechanism by removing the line from the plenum and giving it a suck, observing the holding of vacuum and the movement of the reluctor plate assembly.
Why? I've serviced 2 cars in the last week, and both have failed vac adv units.
