ignition module how to tell if its a lucas part ?

[PYNEY]

hi all

I fitted a new lucas ignition module 3 months ago and last week it started playing up and now not working at all
when I ordered the part I asked for a lucas original not a made in china look alike

now how do you tell if your ign module is lucas or not ? my new module doesn't have anything on it to let you know
but my supplier has said it is a lucas part

the old original module "still working" does have made in the uk on it so I guess that's a lucas

anyone bought a new lucas module lately does it have anything written on it

cheers keith

I doubt it will be genuine Lucas old stock, they just arent around anymore. Modern day Lucas aint what it was, hence your part giving up so soon.

As it happens i have a new Lucas old stock 2 pin amp DAB121. which i will hand over for a few beer tokens if anyone is interested.

Question, what are the symptoms of a failed/failing ignition module. Is there a test. Can the tvr RV8 run without one. The original Rover 3.5 V8 did not have one.
Thanks...............Eddie.

EGB , The fault I had was a misfire at 3,500 to 4,000 rpm so in my case I changed the leads cap and rotor arm
The car then didn't even fire up at all ? refitted old coil "no spark" refitted old ign module and she fired up straight away

I thought I was doing a good maintenance job on replacing old parts that were not faulty so lesson learnt leave alone if working ok sometimes

when my ignition amp failed it wouldn't go above 4500 revs

still trying sort the total dying of revs though when coming to stand still... it's intermittent so pita to sort and test

Do you have RoverGauge?
If not then worth the investment.
