I have one from a 92 volvo sitting around and was wondering if that would work.   Bill Bettridge (Billb) Senior Member Username: Billb Post Number: 694 Registered: 02-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 09:18 am:    Yep - any 12v coil will do   Scott Scott (Scottoz) New Member Username: Scottoz Post Number: 17 Registered: 02-2003 Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 05:34 pm:    I dont know if that is right - there is resistance issues. The coil operates with a HEI module (pulse generator). I put a ACEL yellow from the US on my 95 in OZ and together with new leads, rotor cap and button and plugs the thing was transformed. It puts out a HUGE spark.   Bill K (Bill_k) Member Username: Bill_k Post Number: 150 Registered: 08-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 05:50 pm:    ok. thats what i thought. it seems that the LR coils are more expensive, but i guess thats because they're for LR's.   J E Robison Service Co (Robisonservice) Member Username: Robisonservice Post Number: 53 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Tuesday, March 11, 2003 - 08:56 pm:    Bosch does make a coil that will fit a Rover, but "just any coil" won't work. Fit a coil with too low a resistance and you'll fry the amplifier. Get a part that is compatible. There are alternatives to genuine Rover. Bosch is one.

(so far).

The one in there now is Lucas and I like to stay away from that sadist.   OLIVER CLOTHSOFF (Everythingleaks) Senior Member Username: Everythingleaks Post Number: 256 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, March 13, 2003 - 12:03 am:    What is scary is that the brakes on the D2 and the freeloaner are made by lucas. Not only will the car not run now it can't stop either.   OLIVER CLOTHSOFF (Everythingleaks) Senior Member Username: Everythingleaks Post Number: 257 Registered: 10-2002 Posted on Thursday, March 13, 2003 - 12:05 am:    i guess freeeloader is now banned
