I'd greatly appreciate it if someone could take a picture of the Ignition Amplifier Module and post it up here. I'm diagnosing a starting problem, and I'm trying to walk through the rover workshop manual.

I get a 12 volt reading from positive battery terminal to negative coil while ignition is off, which the manual says should be zero. I get a reading of zero when I turn the ignition on, which is what it should be.

I have a coil on order from a local parts store, so I should have that in by monday, but I have read one previous problem which had very similar problems, and he ended up replacing the ignition amplifier. I called the local dealer and they said that part is $199. Looking at the distributor I only see the little horn, and another offshoot that has 2 wires(red/blue) running into it, it's about 2 inches long .5 inch wide, and I cant believe this would be the 199 part.

Anyhow, thanks for the help

No one has a pic? I'm thinking I may have a different distributor setup. If no one replies in the next day, I'll post a pic of my setup and see if I can get some feedback there.

If it's an NAS Disco, it is on the bracket that holds the coil to the radiator support. The bracket holds the coil, the condenser and the amplifier.

Rob, your post was the one I was referring to, that's why the amplifier was suspect. I'll keep you aprised with what's going on, thanks again.
