Electronic Conversion Kit [BRITPART ETC5835K] for Sale. This is the kit that replaces the points in your distributor with electronic ignition. ETC5835K is the Britpart reference, and it’s the well known conversion for older Land Rovers still running contact breaker ignition. If you’re tired of setting gaps, replacing points every few thousand miles and chasing the misfire that comes with a worn rubbing block, this is the fix.
Why people fit one. Points are a wearing part and they’re fussy. The gap drifts, the contacts pit, and the condenser fails without warning. You spend a lot of time keeping on top of them. Electronic ignition does away with all of that. There’s no gap to set, nothing to wear out in the same way, and the spark stays consistent. You get easier starting, a smoother idle and less maintenance. For a vehicle you actually use, that’s worth having.
A few things to check before you buy:
-
Which distributor you have. This kit suits certain Lucas distributors used on Series models and early four cylinder engines. Check the distributor model before you order.
-
Positive or negative earth. Older Land Rovers came both ways, and the kit has to match. This matters, so confirm it.
-
Engine. Confirm it’s for your engine. The kit is made for specific applications.
-
What’s included. The module, the mounting plate, wiring and fittings. Check it’s a complete kit.
-
Whether you need a coil. Some conversions work with the standard coil, some need a different one. Ask before you buy, because a mismatched coil will burn the module out.
One honest note. Fitting electronic ignition isn’t difficult, but it isn’t plug and play either. You’ll be inside the distributor, and you need to get the trigger wheel or the sensor positioned correctly. Get it wrong and the engine either won’t start or it’ll run badly. If you’ve never opened a distributor, read the instructions properly and take your time. It’s not a job to rush.
Also worth saying. Keep your old points and condenser in the toolbox. If the electronic module ever fails, and they do occasionally, you can swap back to points at the roadside and get home. It’s cheap insurance.
One more thing. If you’re fitting this to cure a running problem, make sure the problem is actually the ignition. A fuel fault or a vacuum leak will still be there after you’ve fitted the kit. Diagnose first, then upgrade.
You can buy this conversion kit from landrovergenuinepart.com. Order online, or email us first if you want to confirm it suits your distributor before you purchase. We’d rather check the details up front than have you send it back later.
When you get in touch, tell us your model, year and distributor type. That’s usually enough for us to confirm whether this kit will work.

“I’d ordered a ‘compatible’ caliper from another site and it leaked within a month. Lesson learned. This one arrived sealed, stamped, and clearly genuine. Fitted by my mechanic without issue and the brakes feel factory-fresh. The price was fair and the part number matched exactly. Won’t shop anywhere else for brake components now.”
