Land Rover Ninety / One Ten / 127 2.25 / 2.5 petrol: points, plugs & ignition timing

Ignition · Ninety / One Ten / 127 (1983–90) · 1983–1990

How often: every 6,000 mi or year, whichever comes first. Keeps the engine starting cleanly and running economically.

Work safely: support the vehicle on axle stands, never a jack alone; let it cool first. Check figures against your workshop manual. You do this work at your own risk.

Parts

• 4 × Spark plugs (gap 0.030 in (0.75 mm))
• Points & condenser
• Rotor arm & cap (if worn)

Tools

Step by step

1. Inspect cap and rotor for cracks and tracking.
2. Set the points gap (0.014–0.016 in (0.35–0.40 mm)) with the heel on a cam peak.
3. Gap or renew the plugs (0.030 in (0.75 mm)).
4. Set the timing with a strobe light to the figure in your manual.
