Folks JSG and I are about 100 miles from Caen in an 87 Patrol on day 1 of our Plymouth-Timbuktu challenge which might be cut horribly short as the HT leads have fried themselves. We could probably also do with a dissy cap. Anyone know of a specialist who could DHL some parts to us or perhaps one in southern France where we could pick them up? We're just about limping south, but not sure how far we'll get.. Thanks..

That page has a list of the dealers in France. I'm not sure where Caen is?

Find a scrapyard to raid?

If you get stuck I can get you some & post em out, though best bet may be a large local diy store & get some generic ones from there.

thanks for offers of help either here or on email. Problem is patrol was never sold here and the service JSG arranged seems to have overlooked plugs, leads etc.

So, after much pissing around, we've fitted new plugs, patched HT leads and are poised for a 24 hour straight drive over the mountains to Gib. Personally, I reckon we might just make the outskirts of town..
