Well grease is not correct to be honest, you should use the chemical heat compound that comes with the amp pack. grease wont conduct heat as good as it needs to, have found this out the hard way when then get hot and blow :-o

duffyboy:

Granted. I said grease as we all have some and anything is better than air, even mud or spit, and the silicone compound (white greasy substance) is little use once it's dried out.  You can buy it from Maplins and some computer shops though, it's the same stuff you use on processor heatsinks.

Evilgoat:
Works just as well dried out as not :)

proper way to do it is to prepare both surfaced, alchol, then very very very fine sandpaper, then another clean then just enough paste on bith sides, it shouldnt squidge out too much. Too much is as good as none.

It's a 98 Disco 1 & it has the remote amp pack.

Eventually had it recovered to the garage after 3 days of lying by the side of the road.
The only fault he can find is that there's virtually no current coming from the camshaft sensor ( 3ohms) & has asked me to get another dizzy.
Anyone have a working dizzy that they could sell me ??
