    Drinking oil

    How far did they strip it then? Have they put it back together? Fit a new engine? What a load of bollocks. :rolleyes: You could rebuild the one that's in there!

    3.5L Top End Rebuild

    Thanks forever! See - may look intimidating to start with but its all basic spannering. Making sure everything is clean is a must. Don't want anything falling into the bores! :o Cheers adies! :) Cylinder heads look the same from the outside so you wouldn't know unless you took off a rocker...

    The Big Debate - Britpart or S**tpart?

    I ordered some britpart shock absorbers for my RRC. Not that my RRC has been on the road but the shock absorbers have a coating of rust over them already. And its just been sat there on the driveway. Doesn't affect functionality - yet. Slightly disappointing about them rusting though. Guess...

    3.5L Top End Rebuild

    Ask and you shall receive! ;) Getting true TDC was slightly annoying. Ended up using a protractor from my old school stuff from way back when, putting a hole in it so I could mount it on the crankshaft. Oh boy. This needs cleaning!!! :eek: Two snapped bolts as well, got those helicoiled...

    New Edlebrock 4 barrel carb or EFI

    Simpler as in ? - if you want to not run cats + lambdas then don't connect lambda sensors and change to the correct tune resistor. ;)

    The Rover V8 is what it is! 1UZFE - are you going to convert all our Land-Rovers for us seeing as you're an expert. First hand experience and all that? :D:D:D :p;)

    cheap battery for winching..

    12V - the battery voltage obviously! 75Ah - Most would say it can supply 75A for an hour, but in actual fact the more you draw the less time it will last. So if you put a 75A load on your 75Ah battery, it would last less than an hour. RC is reserve capacity. Bit of a weird one: "number of...

    What have you done to your Landie today.

    What have I done with my Land-Rover today? Well I never want to deal with a heater control cable in a RRC ever. EVER. AGAIN. I also started someones 300TDi Discovery for them with the battery from my RRC. :)

    45mm+ LPG mixer. where can I get one?

    I was just about to say, couldn't you take the inlets into one and fit the BLOS carburettor onto that... Answered that then! ;)

    is there an electric fuel pump on my RR

    Here are some pictures of a fuel tank removed from an E reg (1987) RRC. This was converted from a 3.5L EFi V8 to a 200TDi from a Discovery. You can see the fuel pump on the top and the sender on the side of the tank (sorry hard to see). As you can see in this image, the wiring to the...

    is there an electric fuel pump on my RR

    I thought a classic of this age (D reg) had a separate fuel pump and sender. Fuel pump in through the top and sender on the side.

    1988 Range Rover Classic 3.5L V8 EFi

    Today has been a great success!!! Brake lines all hooked up, mounted and then started bleeding the brakes. Minor hiccup as had a bit of a leak on one of the unions. Removed the join, reflared the pipe and bolted it back up. No leak. Bleeding the brakes wasn't as bad as I thought. Did it the...
