If mine was to die tomorrow I'd definitely go for this one. A couple of bits that need doing (sunroof and door seals doable, wheels easily sorted). It's got all the options and the right spec for me and it's also the right side of the tax...

Short journeys really screw them, especially the Ford engines with Adblue. You need the revs up near 3000 rpm. A blast down the dual carriageway once a week in a low gear seemed to work for our work trucks.

Can you take a trace with the Nanocom of EDC fuelling at warm idle and post the CSV here? Might have to zip it to upload it.

See post #6! ;-)

That's written on the back of the fusebox lid under the driver's seat on mine. I put it there!

It has actually been raining here, but it is as if the clouds are on work to rule, as the drops are so slow.

If you have clothes you haven't really worn you must have been a bit of a dandy in the past. I have to admit to having worn all of mine regularly, though my red weskit with the shiny back got a few looks askance when I wore it around school! The...

I did this a few years ago but don't recall moving anything other than the exhaust. At the time I was replacing the head gasket and ran into problems trying to remove the head bolts due to oil crystallising in the bolt holes. I had to pull the...

Living in the Montagne Noire, so called because the mountain sides are covered in Oak trees, or pines, more recently. We do worry a bit about fires. In all the time we have holidayed here and since then lived here 6 months of the year, there have...

I'd suggest putting a mark at 8° BTDC and disconnect the vacuum hose to the distributor. Depending on the stretch in your timing chain you could advance it a bit more than that. It's easy enough to hear knock in Rover V8's. The timing marks on...

Yeah its quite alot, i think its like 11 litres when filling from completely empty if i remember correctly. But the torque converter takes almost all the fluid, theres probably like 3 litres in the gearbox sump itself.

Yeah, it's got the twin SU carbs. I've no reason to suspect it's not the original engine - no reason at all - but I suppose I ought to thoroughly check to be sure.

Thanks M8 will give it a go any way and let you know how I get on. I can't really see how the timing could be out as it ran for a week after the chassis swap was done. It did have a new clutch rear seal and sump gasket while the engine and boxes...

I have a question about cats. Not the animal but the exhaust gas conversion system fitted to my 4.0 1999 V8 p38. Chassisnumber is something like XA415... I have read that there are two types of cats for the V8, one for the GEMS and one for the...

Even if the voltage doesnt drop so much with extra power but still hard to start the internal problem of the starter can mix up the crank signal's waveform and disturb the ECU, i hate to recommend more work while i'm not sure that's the problem...

Will do...would make it easier! Thxs!

Yes it is so easy with tap water, not sure those with it, most people, realise the mindset you develop when its in short supply. Your deliveries don't sound too bad, we get less water than you for more - 10m3 for €160 and that's last years price...

Theres not one for checking the level but look in Rave and just follow the filling procedure and then see if you are able to add any fluid in.

I made one with some brass pins and some epoxy. works fine, when i can find it:) Are there covers for the wiring socket? mine has had the benefit of the british weather for years and looks like a cover might be a good idea.

Thanks M8 I think I have a starter, First I will try the jump start and see If it still drops, then If so I will change the starter and follow up on the results. I will give it a go tomorrow. Again thanks for all your help, hope it works...

IMO that's the problem, the ECU needs at least 11V while cranking to start right away, 10.5 is the lowest limit, i'd replace the starter motor if you are certain that the battery is not weak or use jump leads from other vehicle and if it still...

1. Im abit doubtful if that is aft? Is it not just dirty engine oil?

À second car on a trailor 👌😎

I had this problem before. One of the pins in the release mechanism cross shaft had sheared (it wasn't the proper part, just a bolt) and the piston in the slave cylinder had reached the circlip at the end of the bore. So no clutch release and a...

In number one, transmission fluid. Red/dark red. Try tightening the bolt in the center of the circled area. Number two, I'd say let that develop as it could still be residue.. Number three, I'm hoping the seal hasn't gone between the torque...

Perfect. Thank you!
