If it's the cam.. Once the hard surface has worn off they wear down the rest of the way in no time at all. Miles, maybe 100s not thousands

The misfire has suddenly started, but I don’t disagree it could be the cam. Looking at changing that in the next 6 months. The engine starts and ticks over beautifully. Just bad misfire in the top third of the rev range and poor power...

i had a very worn cam (in the end) it presented as popping under acceleration.it was actually blowback into the inlet when the inlet valve opened, as the exhaust valve wasnt opening

NGK. I've never had trouble with them. Dad used to have a marine shop and used many, many thousands. Had one faulty one, ever. I run NGK in my VWs and the Disco 1 (actually, everything, in honesty 🤣 ) High RPM misfire can be a worn cam too, if...

The car came with a set of Champions in, and a new set of 8x N9YC Champions plus a new set of 8x BPR8ES. I did a plug change to the new champions (no difference to the misfire at high revs / under load) and yesterday changed to the NGKs. It...

My viscous pulls through the rad from the engine side, so the twin fans I have at the front blow air through to assist. What little air flow I get at max revs, whilst doing 10 kmph through a massive donga (oooooh, errrrrr missus) is going the...

£146, I have a shedload of batts already… https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/kit-builder/milwaukee-18v/grease-gun/milwaukee-m18gg-0-18v-heavy-duty-grease-gun-body-only.htm I suspect the M12 version at £99 will do everything you need...

For 400 sovs it would need to get jump out the machine & grease it then make me a coffee @ 10am 🤣 🤣

Love my Milwaukee M18 grease gun. Works everytime, unlike every manual one I have ever had.

I've had dozens of various Land Rovers vehicles with V8's in them. For the love of God please don't waste your money on Champion plugs. The quality is terrible in my experience. I only fit NGK, or Denso. Get a set NGK BCP6ES for a road car or...

Oooooo, hold on. I search for ‘spark plug’ but I have now found this old timer… https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/ngk-or-champion.95499/

I have always used NGK plugs and plug caps since running a Suzuki TS50ER (restricted, but unrestricted to 42mph back in the day). An RD125DX, a GT250, a GSX750, a ZXR750H2 and a GSXR1000K3 followed… all on NGK. Even the current Husaberg TE300...

Some pics of the re positioned Track rod protector thing. I could lose the washers and make a proper Alloy spacer plate, or, I could have just thrown it all in the bin... You Decide... I also have fitted a cheap Alternator triggered Tacho...

Do we have a AI bot around?

Rear wheel arches strengthened with formed inner ali sections panel bonded into place, few other repair sections fitted. New inner wheel arches bonded and rivited along with new floor and rear cross section all bonded rivited and bolted using 5mm...

First try with a laptop on sponsors… 😀

You’ll know far more than I - I’ve still got lots of research to do. Last car I had with a dizzy was a good 10 years ago and that was jap and very reliable. I’m putting a v8 into a 300tdi disco. I do have a v8 loom but I wanted something easy...

They seem to use hyperspark as their ignition. Love the look of the sniper 2 as a fuel injection replacement. https://www.holley.com/products/ignition/hyperspark_ignition_for_sniper_efi/

I’ve done a bit of research on this of recent. I was going to go megasquirt but am now leaning towards either Holley sniper 2 or fitech for my build. I don’t want to be messing about with maps etc. I just want something that self learns and had...

Interesting…

Discussion here on a Series 3: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/electronic-ignition-123-vs-britpart.355918/#post-4945249 And a good (old) discussion here: https://forum.britishv8.org/read.php?6,30614,page=1 However after messing about...

I went the whole hog and bought a Momo for my Disco. More room is essential, I think that looks fine!

Here is a picture of the wheel, a Bolt on bits special from eBay. Used them for a few bits and pieces. More elbow room.

Front ATB is in! Of course its the Ultrabuild spec from Xcess4x4. Same ATB thatbwas in the D2, just stripped, cleaned and rebuilt. Also resealed the cam cover cap, alternator Vac line. Both had little leaks so hopefully im leak free now...

Folks, I'm so happy. Today I spent a few minutes at my Landy, because I wanted to be able to move on refitting the fuel pump the next days. My solution: I created my own "Adapter-Ring-Fitting-Tool" using two steel-angles and a few bolts: That...

Hello Ladies & Gents, I post this here, because I think it might be an "general" Topic, regarding all Land Rover Models. If this is the wrong sub-forum please move it to where it belongs. The story of this "repair" started a few month ago...

I wanted to check the oil pressure to rule out a low pressure problem while investigating a tapping noise, unfortunately the method to connect a gauge as described in the workshop manual is impossible on the Thor engine due to ancilliaries and...
