Has anyone fitted a Lumenition kit to their vehicle. Thinking of replaceing the old points and condenser with one of these fandangled devices. Have seen one fitted to an MGB and was impressed. Just after peoples advice before i spend my hard earned cash.

My 101 had one fitted when I got it.

The guy who I got it from had had fun, :wink:  turned out to be a burnt valve now sorted. :D  About the only thing I've not had to piddle around with is the luminition. I love this kit! I can't begin to put in to words my feelings for points, far too many variables for things to go wrong.

Also fit some magnacor leads if you get chance, not cheap but flippin fantasic!

I fitted a Lumenition kit to a Jensen I owned - you had to take the dizzy out to CHECK the points - and found it fantastic.  Pricey though.

A Canadian firm now do an electronic dizzy for Series vehicles for about £100.  I made my own -modified an MG Metro dizzy to suit.

Audi has an Audi Specced unit and it is the mutts. Called the RAC out because car was doing odd things, he prodded it, looked at it funny, found all the non standard Autosport kit and the Luminition ECU and called out Audi....

Who turned up, plugged a laptop into the D9 serial port on the back of the ECU, tweekd a few things, hoisted the bonnet up, ripped out the fuel pump relay and put it back in and solved the problem. Was sat there drooling over the software looking at all thes tweekable things :)

He then went on to tell me a whole load of service points that needed looking at sooon, that my O2 sensor was going bad and removed the electronic govenor.

So yes, go for it. Even if its not the same all singing and dancing one I would reccomend it.

I have seen a local supplier in my area who is selling a Landrover Lumenition kit for a 2.25/2.5 series 3 for £120inc. I didnt think that was too bad.
