Hi folks, as per the title on a later V8 without a distributor where does the ignition and fuel injection signal come from on the engine? I'm guessing it's using a crank sensor, and therefore wasted spark and just pulsing left and right injector banks alternately. Or is it a bit more clever and...

Had a knock on the door earlier from an elderly gentleman who had managed to reverse his Pug 208 into a ditch just down the road from my house. Only the back wheels were in the ditch but the car had grounded out in the middle and being front wheel drive was unable to pull it's self out. Simple...

Has anyone drawn Land Rover components in Solidworks, do we have a forum location for these? I currently have my Fairy Overdrive in bit's waiting for some bearings to arrive so decided to reverse engineer a few bits. I'll probably do the whole thing as it doesn't take long. Everything is to...

I've seen many threads discussing the idea of doing this, but none of how good the end result is. I've managed to get hold of a low mileage reconditioned 300tdi Defender R380 gearbox. It's showing no signs of wear on the output shaft what so ever. As it stands is has the Defender long bell...

Not long finished making this to get the new main-shaft nut tightened to the correct torque on my S3. This is my take on the tool. All you need is a 30mm deep reach socket. I'll get to see if it works at the weekend, fingers crossed.

Hello Folks, I'm trying to rebuild a series 3 front panel that's rust free but had the top cut off for a defender conversion. Not by me I may add. I'm after A, B, and C (Left edge of slam panel, Centre of complete panel, Right edge of slam panel) dimensions on the below picture (not mine, taken...

I have a Disco 1 3.9 V8 engine (the crossover one with serpentine flat belt and distributor) fitted to my 88" Series 3, I would like to fit a Disco 300TDI rad. Are the oil cooler hose fittings the same at each end for the following? V8 PBP101150 & PBP101160 300TDI PBP500190 &...

Hi All, I've just replaced my old clutch that was damaged (broken springs) with a complete new system, so that's new: Clutch Pressure plate Thrust bearing Slave cylinder The clutch and pressure plate are genuine AP Borg and Beck Before the clutch would bite right down near the...

I have decided to have a clear out of old engines I've got kicking around the place, I'd rather shift the lot in one go but here is what I've got: Three 11A ex Rover SD1 3.5V8 engines, and one RR classic 3.5V8 EFI. None of these are currently 100% complete, and one of the SD1 engines is in a...

Hi, I've been scratching my head over this for a while now, no matter what I do I cannot get my system to do anything other than run lean. I will also say it's just above full lean at idle and then lean for every other driving condition. My set-up in the old Series 3 88" is as follows...

It's been running a bit rough at idle recently, but seems fine accelerating and cursing. I have two Lambda sensors in the exhaust one for left and one for right, there is no injection system (though I am using the 3.5L injection manifold etc) or ECU, this is an pure LPG machine. Left bank...

If you had seen in the intro section I've had this old girl for 14 years now, I paid £250 for her in 2000, it came with two months MOT and TAX, a built in steam generator and plenty of rust worm. When I bought the car it had a complete Defender front end, back in the late 90's when the Defender...

Hi, I guess its about time I join a forum, I've had my 88" S3 for 14 years now. Over this time it's been V8 converted with LPG, overdrive and Rangerover diffs, Mondeo radiator and fan, plus so much more. To fit the radiator I've added a Stage 1 V8 looking fiber glass front panel and bonnet but...
