Land Rover Ignition Rotor - Facet STC1857

Product Information

A distributor rotor is located inside the distributor cap and is responsible for directing high-voltage electrical current from the ignition coil to the correct ignition wire leading to each spark plug. The rotor spins in sync with the engine’s camshaft and ensures that the spark is delivered at the right time to ignite the air-fuel mixture in each cylinder.

• Engine Misfires: A faulty distributor rotor can cause misfires, leading to rough idling and a loss of power during acceleration. This occurs because the rotor may not properly direct the spark to the appropriate cylinder
• Hard Start: If the rotor is damaged or worn, it may prevent the engine from starting or cause extended cranking before the engine fires
• Rough Idle: A failing rotor can cause the engine to idle unevenly or roughly, which may be accompanied by vibrations or shaking

About Facet

Facet began in 1946 by Francesco Andriano with the core principles of dedication, skill, courage to do, and to innovate when he opened up his laboratory. Soon after WWII, Franceso Andiano founded F.A.C.E.T with his son Mario. They began creating tungsten contacts for the telephone industry which was then a potential market with rapid growth. Due to the materials used, they were able to enter into another market, now producing plated contacts for ignition components in the Automotive Industry. In 1961 the company expanded by now producing condensers followed by caps and rotors in 1966. Since the early 90's, FACET has transformed to accommodate the arrival of electronics which as been a large part to this day. Since then, FACET has put a strong emphasis on continuous process improvements which continue to this day.
