'94 Disco - Name this part?? - Land Rovers Only

Unruely · 11-18-2005, 04:41 PM

While trying to track down an odd mis on my '94 Disco, I found this part attached behind the grill beside the coil. What is it? I can see at least one wire coming from it which is not attached to anything, where should it attach? Both terminals on the coil have 2 wires each already on them? Is this something important that I should have hooked up? Here is the pic:

Thanks
Martin

Is your ignition module on the side of the distributor? I have a 95 and the
Ign/Mod is located exactly in the circled area in your picture. I think L/R
changed the module location 95 YR -UP From integral to remote located.

Good luck joe

The part I'm refering to is the small cylinder in the upper right part of the circled area. The wire runs from the center of it??

Its a suppressor, stops or should I say reduces crackles on the old stereo system.

The noise suppressor that is on my truck was attached directly to the back
of the alternator? go figure.

Hi mate, you can find them in many places that generate power from the dizzy - altinator - starter and coil, no end of applications but I say a good set of HT leads always does the job and most aftermarket stereo systems these days have the suppression units built in.
