Just found a picture, my 3.5 efi is a flapper type, not hot wire as stated above.

Hi all, I have a series 2a with a 3.5 efi v8 engine which i has very low oil pressure. (oil light on on tickover) I have bought a good 3.9 serpentine engine with distributer to swap it out,but did not come with a ECU. Can anybody tell me the correct (best) ecu to attach to the engine. There are...

Just a quick post to tell you the Defender is cured, "Redex DIesel System Cleaner" was put in the tank this morning and after 10 min the engine was getting better. I took it for a 15 mile run and I have never felt it running better. This was a chance decision to try until my IP removal tool...

IMO ??

Ran a separate fuel supply to Injection pump today......no change. Took off the blanking plate at EGR, and ran the engine.....no change

Could never get near Lanark, I have a friend George in Falkirk (expert) he is thinking about it...I am getting a compression test done next week.

just hits approx 1800 and no more, pressing the pedal further produces smoke

It just hits a wall when you rev it up, even when you do it slowly.Then if you give it more throttle the smoke starts..I noticed when i have been driving and i change down, the revs obviously rise, but the engine is just like a petrol when you turn the ignition off when driving,,,,,,,,,,,,no...

But it has been running fine since the belt change, unless it has jumped a tooth. I have only driven it 12 miles since the belt change.

I have done that, and i actually thought at the time that the turbo should have been a lot easier to spin. That is why i took the pipe off last night again and it was spinning well on tick over.

The cam belt was changed by a garage a week ago, no black dust visible and the fuel supply trick,I will try that at the weekend.

When it is running at 1800,,pouring out smoke,I can remove intercooler hose and it makes no difference.
