    Vacuum Advance at idle or not?

    Knock sensor circuit is now built and tested, I'll set the timing using that as soon as i've sorted another issue. If it works well and if anyone else wants to use it, as long as its looked after, don't have a problem loaning it out. I'll report back and let you know how I get on.

    A weird gel apearing in fuel filters..?

    Morning all, I've noticed a really weird gel almost looks like wall paper paste appearing in both fuel filters and the loat bowls in the carb. I've cleaned the filters and carb out a few times now but it just reappears. This is obviously causing running issues as it jams up the jets, blow...

    Woken up from V8 dream....to nightmare!

    I often get 18-22 mpg out of my 3.9 with a webber/edelbrock 500 fitted. If your after power and economy you can fit 3L BMW TDI (nice engine, smooth and powerful mid 30s MPG if I remember correctly) or Lexus 4.3 V8 (In the process of this now hoping to get 300+ BHP & high 20s MGP). Neither are...

    Vacuum Advance at idle or not?

    I'm sure its out of a 95 / 96 disco. Will there be anything written on the block to determine if its high or low compression?

    Vacuum Advance at idle or not?

    Good, I'm glad you said that. Ok so now I want to check / set the timing. So far I've read that it should be set anything from 16 Deg BTDC to 6 Dec ATDC Also one book says 3 Deg BTDC & another says 6 Deg BTDC..... WTF?!?! Remove vacuum advance pipe. Get engine upto temp. Set tickover to 800...

    Vacuum Advance at idle or not?

    Hi Guys, I've read loads of contradicting information on this subject and I just wanted to double check I've got it right..... Engine is a 3.9 V8 EFI. Vacuum advance unit definatly works, if i suck on the pipe timing is advanced. Bob weights definatly works, if i rev the engine (vacuum...

    Hey Jai, Yeah sounds fine, having the old one is not a problem. Would it be a 2 or 4 pin? I take it you wouldn't have an LSD or pinned one?

    Hertfordshire Lanes?????

    My rear diff is getting rather sloppy, just wondered if anyone has a good diff for a range rover classic. Preferably 4 pin, will pay extra for locker or LSD and or pinned. Can collect and pay at pub meet... I assume mine is a 10 spline, don't mind swapping to 24 spline but I'll need half shafts...

    Thanks for the info, if I get intouch with the council, exactly what should I ask to see? From my experience with councils I'm likely to be fobbed off with some BS so if I sound like I know what I'm talking about then they might not...
