I drove my Defender all over town today and I'm convinced its fixed. It was the Ignition Control Module! Thank you to all who got me to this repair that I did in my garage ! After many visits to mechanics and giving up hope, you guys did it ! WHY mechanics don't keep an ignition module in their tool box to use as a test part beats the sh-t out of me. I will purchase another soon just to have on hand as a spare! Now I can start to build confidence and hopefully use this truck more ! See you guys at a Defender gathering soon and will drive mine there!!!!!

The Land Rover Community is awesome, and most of the Defender Source Members have been around the Land Rover Block quite a few times, so the combination of knowledge and willingness to help eases the pain of owning these beasts..

do your self a favor if not done already, relocate the ignition module from the distributor to the fender. moves it away from heat of engine and radiator, thus lasts longer.

Yes! It was already there mounted to a plate that connects to the Coil ! I Purchased the expensive Module . How long do they last usually ?

factory original lasted about 20 yrs but being electronics any thing goes.

Mine made it 27 years - but as many have said and it bears repeating - the parts that I have replaced on my '95 are not as good as the parts that have failed - this maybe one of them!
