My coil failed last week and I borrowed one from KeTVRin.
The alternative parts guide quotes the coil as being a Lucas DLB125. The one I borrowed from Kev is the DLB105 ~ and it seems to work ok.

There are plenty of DLB105's on ebay but no DLB 125's (as far as I can see).

Will it matter if I buy the 'lesser' coil? What is the difference between them?

This was discussed a couple of years ago but was never resolved:

The 125 is the correct replacement, listed on Lucas web site as "electronic"
The 105 was fitted to nearly everything before ballast resistors (and electronic ignition) came along.

No idea if using the 105 would cause any problems but imagine worst it could do is start to break down causing a mis-fire ?

Bosch equivalent p/no. 0221 122 031
