The V8 is in the series - hurray Runs fine but only on 7 cylinders. No1 doesn't fire up. I'm thinking valve or cam. Before I take the whole thing apart does any one have any bright ideas on what else I could check? So far.... The spark plug is dark but not oily I've changed all the...

Oil filtration? - sorry if I'm being daft but I'm not sure I understand that. I thought K&Ns were paper. They are on my Jags

I was going to say it doesn't look to bad to me. I've seen a very much worse build up of gunk etc on some engines. I use baby wipes (no - not kidding) to clean stuff up. Don't know what is in them but they do a grand job on oil etc and don't leave cotton everywhere.

Dont think so - tank was cleaned out when I changed from the Tdi and I've got a big filter inline before the fuel pump

Aw don't be mad - just getting all the info that's all I've put one on order - just hoping it will cope with sucking the fuel out of the tank as don't have room for an additional pump and a swirl pot

Thanks for the reply - just what I wanted to hear BTW I have found and excellent site about installing the EFI including some bits I didn't know about tuning TuningTheRoverV8 by Eliot Mansfield. Some really good info

I have done loads of searches and read almost everything I could before I attempted this. I haven't found anyone mention this problem before so if anyone has got some previous experience I would be grateful for some advice

3.5 manifolds fit ok. I've got 3.9s and I had to raise the engine to get the nearside one to clear the chassis. Other people have just raise the nearside engine mount so twisting the engine over.

Yep - I read up on everything before I did this so I know the wiring is right. The coil has a constant supply and the ECU is powered. I did have a small problem with finding the earth wires but that is ok now. What kind of pump produces 34 psi?

I've just spent the day finishing up wiring up the 3.9Efi which now fitted to my 88" Series. It was a 200TDi before. Got all the relays clicktying and good spark at t plugs. Fuel in - fuel pump ticks - turn key - BINGO...... Then it died.... Tried it again and again - it fires - runs...

My Disco is on LPG multipoint. It does 18/19 mpg on petrol and slightly less on LPG. If you work the figures back, the cost equivalent is 32.33mpg on gas. That is very good for a big 4L truck. The only advice I have is get the LPG serviced once a year with new filters and keep your ignition...

I buy Magnecor - if these are as good they are very much worth it.

I went to put a Mocal remote oil filter on the 3.9EFi today and it doesn't fit. The thread on the mushroom plate bit is to0 large (only just) for the filter thread. Am I missing something or are there different sizes - I thought Rover V8s had the same type of filter through the range.

Thanks for the replies There were no cats or Lambda sensors in the pipes I got with the engine. I have left the tune resister as is for the present. I found a wiring diagram with some of those colour wires for the plug going to an ABS pickup point. Does than make sense? I really do need to...

So.. the 3.9efi is now sitting in the series. I've wired it up according to some other threads on here but I've two questions. 1. I have a long piece coming out of the loom with 4 wires two of which have a 2 pin waterproof connector (pic). The colours are thick black, black with grey band...

Kenlow - TWIN.12.S.12V depend which radiator you are running but if it's standard V8 these have given me very good service on my Etype Jag and fit the V8 easily. The problem may be getting enough room to mount them between the rad and the engine. If you need to mount them infront then they...

Ok for reference I think I have found out the info I need Apparently the relays used in the 3.9 Lucas 14CUX hotwire loom were BOSCH 12V 30A P/N 0332014113 for which the LR part number is AFU 2913 or AFU 2913L (not sure of difference) These were used as both the main and fuel pump relays and are...

The relay plug is there, just lost the relay - simples I'm assuming they are standard 12volt relays - just wanted to check

It's not installed yet but I know I am missing these two relays. I just need to know what they are so I can replace them

Could one of you lovely guys do me a favour? I'm putting a 3.9 into my 88 coiler but I've lost the ignition and pump(?) relays off the loom somewhere. Could you tell me which is which and what they are so I can go het some more Cheers
