Rover V8s aren't power houses, but should be enough to get you going... NGK BPR6ES for spark plugs, also I hope you have genuine ignition parts specifically a minimum of rotor arm and distributor cap. HT leads can be any decent set. The castings for non genuine rotor arms and distributor caps...

Can't help on the oil pressure issue other than, what grade of oil are you running? Albeit the distributor driven type, I refaced the oil pump cover and put new gears in it and had no issues. Why didn't you renew your oil pump whilst it was in bits? :( I suppose if it was fine before you might...

Which parts off the 3.9 and 4.6 did you end up using? (Asking for a friend :p) How does a RRC go with a 4.6 in it?

Thing is, its currently on twin 175CD Strombergs... so not exactly the most advanced fueling method going!

First mpg calculation since the rebuild... *drum roll* 16 miles per gallon. Quite pleased! :D :D :D

Passed the MOT. ;)

Thank you everyone for your supportive comments and putting up with my inconsistent posting. Been busy with university recently and four years after buying this for 295 notes its finally passed its MOT. Grinning from ear to ear.

MOT TODAY. PASSED NO ADVISORIES. :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D :D

Ahhh bugger, there's the issue then! Cheers wammers! Another bottle of hoofin' beer/cider to you sir!

A lot of progress happened without pictures happening, friend back to help for a while and we started throwing some paint at it(Game for you lot, if you can guess what colour it is, you will get purchased your choice of beer/cider/drink of choice! ... within reason. ;)) and fitting the panels...

So close to booking an MOT but without wipers its dead in the water. I've utterly confused myself silly googling furiously for the solution to this. However, I'm very confused as to various windscreen wiper setups and part numbers etc for Range Rover Classics... This RRC is an E reg, EA chassis...

Also had a slight distraction with a friends tractor... Its a very strange thing, its missing four cylinders and appears to have these things called "leaf springs"??? Heaven knows what they are. Anyway, I try not to associate myself with such absurd things. Intending to rectify this: I...

Been making progress. Honest! Just... keep forgetting to upload pics. :( Lets finish that handbrake shall we? Found the other screw the next day, it was dark and I put it down never to be found that night! The brake master cylinder was shot. So had to replace it and bleed the brakes...

Look fantastic! Keep the pictures coming!!! :D

Welcome! Got any pictures of your Range Rover Classic? Before pics are nice, and progress ones!
