Thanks for all the positive comments and assistance gents. Its now sold.

Time is a wonderful thing. Especially when you dont have enough! In all honesty work is still ongoing with the dash e.t.c but with a premature baby now at home i dont have the luxury of time to "finish" the final bits. I'm open to offers.

:p I was going to but thought it proved its done virtually no miles since completion.

Pics as promised. Etch primer overspray on the crossmember will be covered with tractor enamel once the rain stops (he says crossing his fingers and toes!)

HAHA! What a berk hey. Well. Originally it cost me £3500 as a half decent TD. All in it owes me close to £10500. I'm looking for as close as i can get to £4500. Yup. Four thousand five hundred quid. Located in West suffolk FYI. Cheers for the heads up on my omission.

For sale is my 1989 90" (Defender) 3.9 v8 (Carb). 12 months MOT, Currently SORN. Where to start? I bought it with the intention of tinkering....It snowballed! Its easier to list whats not new or replaced. But here goes. Overhauled Range Rover 3.9 V8 (carb fed) Brand new oil cooler...

Stupid question for the day chaps. I am away from my V8 for a period of time and need to get a pair of cone air filters (cheapest and simplest solution for me) to fit onto my twin SU. Does anyone know or can measure the diameter of the inlet to the SU (where the elbow to the air filter...

Bit of an update. A mate (whos helping me) is with the 90 and I asked him to check the plugs. All are firing. In the mean time he has checked the injectors and there is no voltage getting to them (Narrowing it down finally!). The relays are all working when the ignition is cranked...

Good point about the multiple sparks. I'll try that next. Motor is located on the Essex, Suffolk border (East). Failing this (and i have sparks) i am beginning to wonder if junking the EFI and going to carbs will help? Cheers!

Thanks for the replies chaps. Its been another fruitless weekend! Ok. Its a brand new fully charged high CCA bosch battery. Brand new fuel pump (and it works). Brand new fuel filter. I can see fuel is getting through the filter at a rate of knots but not sure if the injectors are...

I am completely f*cking stumped with my issue (not mine the f*cking V8). Its a 3.9 Hotwire and in my 90". It ran fine a few weeks ago, starting almost instantly. I went away, come back and now it wont even attempt to spark! Short list of whats done. New coil New Dizzy (complete...

I'll try at the weekend. But its a heartache as a sudden change in circumstances have forced me to sell up 95% done :( I'm prepping for the new owner this weekend (Family member so not too heartbreaking!)

I have it fixed now. The fix is simpler than i thought but possibly not ideal. I have used the 3.5 manual Y piece i have to hand as although its a slightly smaller bore has no apparent impact on the engine performance and with the correct clamps the down pipes clamp it perfectly. There...

I must have that then as although i have a manual the engine (and exhaust) was donated from a 3.9 auto. I'll source a 3.9 Manual Y piece and see if that helps (IF the 3.5 one is no good)

forgive my tardy reply time. Its been p*ssing down here all week and i didnt much fancy trying to fit the exhaust underwater :) Ok. I think i know what's wrong. The 3.9 Y piece interferes with the transfer box or mount pretty much everywhere. I have a 3.5 Y piece and that almost...
