Just got myself a '93 V8i, nice landy but I encountered a little niggle (as you do) on the way home- complete failure of the braking system At first the pedal went wooden for a bit then a little later it dropped all the way to the floor with only a tiny morsel of braking power right at the...

scorpion racing still sell the janspeeds i think double s sell a system w/out the mid box for 189 delivered... ordered one for my disco, they phoned up & said there was a problem with the mid pipe so I could have one with a middle box for the same price (usually a lot more)- result! good...

had a look on the ashcroft site?

Well that went tits up, no holley. Got a pair of SU's & manifold for 25 quid, gonna have to bodge up a kickdown link with the efi throttle.

Right got a Holley 390... really need an inlet manifold to bolt it to if anyone has/knows of one for sale! cheers

hire one then. i got a 110v makita job for under £15... did the job & the bolt hadn't been touched in 22 years

just whack an impact gun on the crank bolt, off in 30secs!

Thanks mate, don't bother though- I got outbid on them (thank god!)... going for a single holley or weber now. Cheers

Might be, pm headin your way! by the way these are the pics from haynes... look like it is to me :scratching_chin:

Hi cheers for that theres a pic of the auto & manual carbs in me haynes manual & the auto has an X shape linkage which I thought was like the one in pic... obviously not then Might hold out for a Holley 390 or weber 500...

cheers think I've found one with the linkage on ebay but the carbs look a bit crappy condition so I'd probably have to rebuild 'em... - this is from an auto right? (seller don't seem to know!)

Sort of a repost of the other thread sorry BUT.... is the kickdown linkage totally necessary for the carbs? Is there anyway of bodging something together if not? Can't find any carbs/manifolds for sale with the kickdown link thats on the haynes manual cheers

personally I'd copyright & publish it! :D

Bloody hell, lets hope he actually remembers to read this! one awesome post! atf does go brown with age- if it smells burnt or has tiny metal dusty bits then theres trouble. cheapo exhausts are £60 on paddocks, ok they're not great but the ones I've bought fit ok if the efi dies, carb it (my...

RUST- sills, boot floor, inner wings, chassis itself is rarely bad. you won't find one thats perfect & its simple to weld compared to some cars (i'm thinking the inner sills on an old 635 bmw my mate is doing now) 3.5's don't slip liners/go porous parts are pretty much the easiest of any...

hi mate just read yer message cheers Trouble is I'm after the manifold etc as well... from an auto for the kickdown link as well hopefully. thanks though Grant

Yep, my efi is overfuelling on the drivers side & running rough. just need to find a pair of SU's with the kickdown linkage...

I'm thinking about doing the opposite

Haha its hard knowing where to stop! I don't think my engine would have lasted much longer with the cam/chain/tappets in the state they were... as I say, the kit is £110 delivered & has pretty much everything you need so it ain't that bad if you do it yourself...

... like mine! Figure on spending £115 on a cam kit from island4x4 and a few weekends fitting it & cleaning goop from all the bits. Not a hard job, just time consuming getting all the bits off. was glad I ripped the sump gasket when I took the timing cover off, enough goop to fill wembley in...
