Key point - DO NOT drive the truck with the SES light flashing.

Tune-up Parts:


Plug Wires: Karlyn STi #721. You will be getting a ton of recommendations for Kingsborn Wires and I'm not a fan. I've had those fail many times on Rovers and other cars. You will be impressed with the STI Wires > https://www.fcpeuro.com/products/lan...e-rover-hls103


Plugs: I run NGK #3546 (# PFR6N11 ) and the DII seems to like them. Look around for a good price, but they look like this > https://www.summitracing.com/parts/ngk-3546


Coils: OE #ERR6045 L8 has a very good price. Avoid the Cheap-O Ebay coils. > IGNITION COIL SET x2 PAIR ? Lucky 8 Parts and Accesories for Land Rovers

quick question:
Just found a set of Magnacor 8.5mm cheaper than the 8mm still about $100...
should I pull the plug?
Any main difference?

Again, I recommend you take a look at the existing wires and let us know what brand they are. They should be marked. And remove a spark plug and let us know what it is.

If you need plugs I recommend the factory stock Champion 7070s (RC11 PYP B4). Mine have over 50K on them with no problems. No need for snake oil. As for wires I have STIs on my truck - 60K and still going strong.

Some guys go ahead and change the coils too, but coils fail only rarely on DIIs. Probably a waste of money and time.

Cancel. Cancel. Cancel.

And I'm telling you, it's EXTREMELY unlikely you need a new coil. Waste of time and money.

posted some pictures of the wires, and apparently only 2 were replaced, so we have:
6 wires : gray Leoni Supression 2015 silicone
2 Wires: Black 7mm Radio Suppression Hi Temp
Didn't pull the plugs yet, I'm even guessing at this point if the leoni wires are factory and render replaced
