daftpooly Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 My wonderful brother-in-law managed to play a bit too vigrously with my distributor breaking the little bit that sits on top of the shaft inside the rotor arm and one of the advance springs . Has anybody any idea where I can get some spares . I've trawled t'net and can only find a repair kit which doesn't have either bits in it and the 'distributor doctor' obviously doesn't think my plight warrants a response.

Ally V8 Posted July 27, 2009 Share Posted July 27, 2009 If you strip and reassemble the dizzy the top of a BIC pen chopped off will suffice to hold the outer shaft down during normal operation as long as you remember to hold the reluctor ring down when you remove the rotor.Any similar size plastic tube will do the trick,yet to find anyone that will supply the actual replacement part,but I've repaired loads this way.

vougese39 Posted July 29, 2009 Share Posted July 29, 2009 if you look on the range rover spares on the ebay there is a chap selling the overhaul kits for about 25 pounds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
