Rover V8 Help Please !!!
Discussion
Hi
I have a Rover P5b with what appears to be a Rover SD1 Lucas 35DE8 distributor. I am looking for a part number, or somewhere that sells would be even better, a condenser that is bolted to the outside of the distributor. Hopefully I have attached a photograph of the condenser that I need.
Any help would be much appreciated !
Thanks
Mark

Thank you Penelope Stopit for your reply and the links...
I am pretty useless when it comes to electrics on vehicles (!) so a stupid question if that is okay (?!), if my Lucas distributor is not listed in the links, can I use one of the condensers that they list....essentially, as long as I can bolt it to the side of the distributor, can I use any condenser ?
Thanks again

That is absolutely brilliant detective work Penelope Stopit ! It is exactly the same distributor with exactly the same plug end cap on the condenser/suppressor...
And it now tells me that my ignition problem is with the coil (purchased a replacement uprated coil today) and not with the "radio suppressor".
I will gently put the suppressor back on and install the new coil when it arrives and fingers crossed !!
Thank you again for your help...brilliant !
