ONLY BUY A GEnuine dizzy cap, you will have problems with an aftermarket one, and they are not that much more expensive, same as leads as well.

My Dealer supplied me a Blue one, but I learned from a guy on flea-bay that there are different part numbers for the later engines, the 4.2 and serpentine were black and the 3.5s were blue.  3.9s depended on year.
Blue,  1988  Range Rover 3.5 EFi with plenty of toys bolted on
Chuggaboom, 1995 Range Rover Classic
1995 Range Rover Classic Vogue LSE with 5 big sticks of Blackpool rock under the bonnet.
