    Ignition Problems

    Hi All,

    My 98 D1 V8 cut out on me on Sunday and hasn't started up again since.

    It wants to start but just doesnt fire up.

    The NRMA guy said there was no spark to the ignition module.
    That has now been replaced and seemed to work initially but it is now cutting out intermittently. The coil seems fine.

    For the last few weeks the ignition barrel seems to be wearing as I have to jiggle the key around a little to find the sweet spot or it wont turn.

    I am having an auto electrician look at it today but thought I'd see if anyone here had any ideas?

    Cheers,
    Dan

    Don't assume just because it's a new ignition amp module that it isn't that. Unless it's a genuine part it could still be crook. Also check the wire that connects power to the positive terminal of the coil. Make sure the terminal is tight. Wire a test light to it so you can see the light when you operate the ignition key. If the light remains on during cranking then its probably the amp module. That is why I won't use the Lucas type ever again, too unreliable.

    Well, the auto electrician said he didn't want to touch it because it's a Land Rover, so I got it towed down to the guys at Graeme Cooper. They had it diagnosed and fixed within 6 hours. Too easy.

    It was the immobiliser spider.

    Good opportunity to find a new sparky who knows what they're doing too.
