The oil filler? The orange screw top thing? Or was that supposed to say oil filter...? If it was meant to say filter, I think mine was moved due to it being a different body on top of my chassis rather than a RR chassis? I’ve looked at my photos a bit more of my engine bay and on the back of...

Brill, thank you!!

Ok, I definitely don’t have one of those on both sides. Only one side. I think my fuel line is a bit of a bodge job too, so might try and find a OEM fuel line that goes into the carbs.

Ugh, I don’t envy you that, although I bet it works a hell of a lot bett r than my engine currently. Will have a look to see how everything should be connected up. Thanks for all your help - it’s massively appreciate.

Just been looking at some photos of a new build 3.5 with Strombergs. Mine doesn’t have a few hoses that this one does, but do you happen to know what the bits circled in red are...

Thank you. It does, although I think this is for an earlier model carb? Mine is the CD3 model. If you look on this page, and scroll to the bottom, it explains how to adjust/centralise the needle etc which is a different method...

Yeah I tried moving the nut with a pair or mole grips but it wouldn’t budge. Will try again tomorrow. Will steal the battery off my Disco 4 as try that as I know it’s good. No idea what that pipe with the black ends does tbh. Am just looking at photos of 3.5’s on google to see how people have...

Ah sorry, do you mean the yellow pipe that goes over the top of the carbs that joins the two? If you mean that one, I’ve no idea. I don’t really know what pipes I should/shouldn’t have, or where they should all connect up to!!

The yellow cable is the choke cable, I think off the top of my head. Yeah I saw the adjustment screw picture. I’ve got the adjustment tool, but as I can’t get the engine started, I don’t really know where to start with that. I think I’ve read that the washer on the bottom of the piston, that’s...

Yeah apparently the last owner had it “tuned”. Is there a way to identify if it’s. 3.5 or 3.9/4.0 etc? I want to find out for carb/fueling purposes. Thank you

Hi all, Have just bought a v8 hybrid and trying to find the engine number to help clear up a few issues. Ive looked in ALL of the usual places and can’t find it, unless it one of the below? Can anyone help me please!

Have reattached carb and now doesn’t start at all :( I am now entirely stuck!

This is true, however everything underneath the body is RRC stuff, including the engine and carbs - much easier to explain it that way.

Hi all, Can any members in Rutland\Leicestershire\Northamptonshire who would be able to help me set up my twin Strombergs on my v8 rrc get in touch please? Am losing the will to live with them! Payment can be cash/beers...anything really at this point!! Cheers in advance, Rob

I had to cut down a 13mm spanner to remove some of the bolts keeping the carb on the manifold, but nothing else? Whats the 1/2 af you're talking about?
