    AFAIK it is a suppressor.
    Nearly everyone takes them off.
    I think it came with the 3.9 or maybe a bit later when laws required that suppression spark plugs be used to reduce RFI.
    You will probably note an earth to the bonnet in the LH corner both for heated washer nozzles and to reduce earth loops and RFI.

    RFI suppressor resistor. I've chucked every one that I've come across as they are no longer waterproof in their old age and what with modern plugs and leads are not required.

    It looks like a spark intensifier,I can remember those things from the late 70's early 80's,they worked on some vehicles but it was more productive to play around with spark plug heat ranges and types.

    Interesting gizmo. What is even more interesting is the vehicle you may be working on. French/Arabic ? writing. Is there a story there? Bob

    Reading the Arabic text, it's a Land Rover.

    Assuming it's an Arabian export vehicle, does it have the " Arabian " grill, are their any other differences to, say, an Aussie export vehicle, Bob

    My 92 had all those multilingual stickers on it.
    LR saved money by having one sticker for export markets.
    Probably find it saved $1 per car.
