Just looking at bits for the Freelander and noticed this.

Clicky

It is an electronic unit that replaces the points in a distributor ignition system. Quite cheap and would probably improve the reliability.

Can it be used for the F and is it worth it?

There aren't any points in the F distributor are there? It's all electronic already I think.

I had one of the last Carousels and it was lovely - got written off by a 'white van man' kindly driving directly into my passenger door!
