Lost Boy Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 I have a 2000 K series supersport and since I built it I have never checked the distributor cap or rotor arm!! Until I saw the article in Low Flying this month!! I am now a bit worried if I take the top off it might disintegrate or something!! How exactly will I know if its worn and need replacement either the rotor arm or the contacts (given I haven't seen one in new condition)? Thanks IAN Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mick Day Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 Take off the distributor cap & throw it away along with the rotor arm. After 11 years it might fail tomorrow. New parts only cost a few quid so it'll be good for at least a few more years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mankee Posted March 6, 2011 Share Posted March 6, 2011 Quoting Mick Day: Take off the distributor cap & throw it away along with the rotor arm. After 11 years it might fail tomorrow. New parts only cost a few quid so it'll be good for at least a few more years. I'd agree with the above. For about £15 or so, it's worth just replacing the rotor and cap with new Rover bits. Might be able to get them cheaper from eBay or somewhere similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
