Its a 2.0l perkins prima turbo diesel. Out of a montego I believe.

How about wear in the throttle linkages.. ours would tickover lovely when stationary, take it for a drive and it would be erratic again, all down to worn linkages.

This is happening on mine I suspect its part number 9047 but there's so much Gibbins in the way its hard to see where its coming from. So I just fill 3/4 of a tank and live with it for now

Full metal throttle linkage - no cable sadly + you could balance a 50pence piece on that engine whilst she runs, super smooth

Worse in 1st & 2nd but happens in all gears, she’s a 2.25 petrol

So today took.it for a ride with the set up u suggested to check for breather issues. To be fair seemed to drive a bit smoother or could been in my head. Drove alright again for a while stopping at parts store then back on road again then...

I have 2 1999 P38 diesel Range Rovers at the moment both on SORN I am confident that both would pass a MOT and I have had them running. I used them for travelling oversea when I was in the UK as I live in Australia but now I am getting to old to...

Which is it 😵‍💫?

It's Left Hand Drive so will be worth a lot more money in continental Europe. I had a Romanian neighbour who used to buy them in the UK and sell on in Romania for a profit. I think that they used parts from crashed (or whatever) LHD ones to...

Remove sender and dip the tank with a stick, compare reading to bottom of stand pipe, modify to suit.

Mornin Cloudy bright and breezy here, oooh Suns just come out Need a dry day to paint me chassis, all washed and ready :) Have to mow the grass before I go on road trip so dry tomorrow I hope Got a plug in cool box for the freelander which...

i have had my tank right down to a gallon and it still picked up fuel ok which i assumed was too low, yes 10 gal 45 l, i use litres here but a imp gal is 4.5 litres, a us gallon differs again with it being around 3.85litres. you would have a...

Seems that the pressure transducer is fubar

hello everyone, i got hold of extractors cheap for my land rover i wanna know if anyone on here has done the same in the past. im gonna go with a 2 in exhaust to the back, i have run the car with no muffler and was quite surprised at how much...

Just decide on the specification you want (Station Wagon, Hard Top, Truck Cab) and then whether you want aircon/electric windows etc, Fix a budget, and leave aside around £2,000 for initial jobs and other things you'll decide you want to do to...

Morning All. :D Still Sunny but the winds a bit blowy here. :) Have a great day. :D

If you have live data on the diag, Look at how the egr is behaving.. If the percentage figures of the egr valve glitch and or don't match the intended percentages it could be sticking just enough not to flag a fault. Also read the maf figures...

Perhaps a split in pick up pipe and when you went uphill this allowed it to suck in air

Loose engine mountings moving throttle cable ?

Still on and off, getting a few spare parts, just annoyed my spare pressure sensor at home.

How would I go about testing for this?

She had new props with new UJ’s 500 miles ago, will definitely check props but anything else spring to mind?

If you can get the tank down to half, siphon and stick dip while you have sender out and then trial fit sender bending the arm to get gauge to read about right. Probably the best you will get.

Post this in the ‘introduce yourself’ section and people will come say hi

Just noticed my stupid mistake. Original post should read 7 gallons and 3 gallons NOT litres. Will try to edit original post.

Not many ejoke owners on here. As a start, you could try disconnecting the MAF and clearing the codes, see if they return. The ECU should use a default setting (I think), which will prove/disprove the sensor. Or burn it 🤪

In my 1972 series III whenever the gearbox is in gear and engine at idle the vehicle consistently jerks forwards over and over instead of smoothly providing drive. It does this in both high and low range meaning my foot has to be on the throttle...
