Ok. I havent had the need to work on my wife's rover because it was under full factory warranty. However this weekend I was installing some Magnecor spark plug cables and noticed there wasnt a distributor cap and no cable for the coil. I assume this vehicle has a distributorless ignition system. Is that right?

what year is it? i believe that in 97 they started to go to the black box ign system on the discoveries and defenders... but it might have been 96 im not sure.

good luck with it.

They went to the GEMS system in late '95, early introduction of the '96 MY.

There we a very few 1995 MY Discoveries with Gems, but by 1996, all of them were GEMS.

I have a hard enough time figuring out how engines run without point, much less a distributor.

"There we a very few 1995 MY Discoveries with Gems"

Incorrect.

1995 Range rovers have GEMS though.
