There is also a britpart kit available for land rovers that fits and does the same thing for less money

Anybody
Re: Pionte and condensers
A failed or incorrect condenser can give a very big spark at the points, which can pit or burn the points. Not sure what part of your points are burning, but i would check you have the correct condenser and it's correctly installed.

Re: Points and condensers
Two possabilities
1. the cam that the blue plastic runs on should be lightly greeased to stop the plastic wearing.
2. too much current running through points can heat them and melt blue plastic. Faulty condensor, wrong coil ,points too closed.
