ARRRRRG! Can someone help, I have been tinkering and now the Rangie doesn't work. :(
I started off this morning by putting on the new starter, pain in the arse job, but it is done. To see if I had connected it up ok I started her up and she ran fine. I let her warm up whilst I cleaned the tools, and I stopped and started her about a dozen or so time to make sure everything was ok. Job done I retired triumphantly for a cup of tea and discovered the posty had been :grin:. On the doorstep was my new lucas dizzy cap and rotor arm. Feeling buoyant I decided to fit that as well. I removed the orignal dizzy cap and rotor, put the new ones on, connected the HT leads IAW the workshop manual and found that the [!Expletive Deleted!] wouldn't start. I checked the HT leads, the coil leads etc were connected correctly and still nothing. I then put the old dizzy cap and rotor on, connected it correctly again and found, interestingly enough, that it still won't start. The coil fires a strong blue spark and I am positive that I have the HT leads in the correct order.
Any Ideas?

check the rotor arm spins the way the Manual says as i had this on a vehicle the rotor arm went the oposite way to the book :shock:
and double check you have the firing order correct

Cheers for that......
eeerm.....I might have connected the leads up in the wrong order!!!
I followed the Range Rover workshop manual to the letter and couldn't figure why it wasn't firing. Then I checked the infamous Haynes manual and it had the same order but moved around one place. Fired first time!
Although the hand brake has now siezed on...! :doh:
