    Land rover watch gps tracker

    Hi, did a quick search to see if it'd been mentioned before and couldn't find anything... I believe it's fitted standard to new range rovers etc, but came across one cheap and wondered if it could be fitted to my 1985 90? That said, can you run it without a subscription? If anyone's got...

    3.9 EFI overheating

    Hi, wonder if anyone might have an idea what's causing my v8 to overheat - it's got me stumped. I did have little bubbles in the radiator, so suspected head gasket and had heads skimmed 20thou (the most LR recommend to skim) and fitted composite gaskets. While the heads were off, I checked the...

    V8 non-starter

    Evening all! I'm (hopefully) coming to the end of my 3.9 v8 EFI conversion, but I can't get the damn thing to start! It turns over fine and I get a spark alright but the injectors aren't firing. I've tested at the ECU connector for all the sensors etc and everything seems good - even went as...

    2.5NA Injector Pump Timing

    Evening all! I killed the injector pump on my 2.5NA - I think some crap got into it and it wouldn't put any fuel out at all, fuel in was fine, but nothing to the injectors. Thing is, I really want to change the engine for a 200tdi when I've got the cash, so the replacement was a cheap ebay recon...

    Runaway Landy!

    So, having just finished rebuilding the 90 on a new galv chassis, I thought it'd be right to drive some of the Cotswolds (few) green lanes... having got a suitable distance from home, the throttle gained a life of its own! It was like a dodgy cruise control - just started accelerating all on its...

    5 Pin Ignition Switch Wiring

    Hi, after pulling the wires off the ignition switch on my 1986 2.5NA diesel (and not making notes as to where they go), I Couldn't find a post to tell me how to connect the new one back up... So after a whole lotta swearing and guess work, thought I'd do my best on MS Paint and stick it up here...

    Engine rebuild issues...

    so, hope someone out there can point out my schoolboy error (I hope thats what it is...) I've had my 2.5NA engine out for new gaskets, seals, clutch, crank pulley, timing belt etc. just a general 170,000 mile spruce... I've come almost to the end and when it's come to setting the valve...

    dual electric radiator fan conversion

    I've spotted the x-eng 'x-fan' which is a twin thermostat in a sexy anodised aluminium thingy... It'll replace the power sapping fixed fan - the idea is to have a small fan triggered at a low-ish temp then if things get really hot, a larger one is switched on. What I need to know is, what...

    smokey 2.5NA - any ideas?

    MOT is coming up in July, and i have a quite bad smokey problem! It's on my 1985 2.5NA diesel. I get plumes of white smoke (not water vapour) but it only comes when the engine is cold - a mile down the road and it runs just fine... a little research on google tells me it's unburned fuel -...
