well am back on the road with the rangerover , new s/h engine installed and wow , i can`t believe how responsive it is compared to the old unit , she`s whisper quiet , and after doing around a 100 miles or so with it last night it performed faultlessly.
whilst i had the engine out i decided to do all the bits of jobs that you tend to put off i.e heater "o" rings ect so now i hope i should get a good few trouble free miles but then again its a rangerover aint it .
just one niggle though, since dropping in the new engine the lights and dash lights seem to be flickering im sure i`ve seen a post on here about it , im just wondering if its the alternator which is the one that came with the engine and not my original one ......................there`s always summat when you own a p38 .

p.s
i bought the engine from a breakers who advertised on ebay thornton 4x4 breakers , and i cant praise these guys enough , very helpfull , and for once with a breakers yard ....................very honest . they`re located in the hills above halifax right by the side of simmonites , just in case anyone is considering buying from them .
