Looked at a nice Land Rover Disco today, needs a little tidying on the rear bumper but may go for it. A diesel v6 sounds decent

Do electronic ignition conversion kits work with ballast coil systems?

pmplovesminis2006

I have run electronic ignition on my car and that was ballast ignition.....

I've looked a bit more into it and as far as I can tell they work with a ballast coil if you make a separate feed to the sensor unit. Worth a try I suppose.

I would have thought so, if it's not there to test, then they can't test it ;)

That moment of panic when you look out the window and the mini's not parked on the drive - before you remember you left it parked somewhere else last night
