£700 ono Spares or repairs. Selling my 1997 Range Rover P38 4.0SE Auto, in Oxford blue. Full grey leather interior Passed MOT this morning, so tested until 5th Oct 2021. Has 4 18" alloys with General Grbber AT2 tyres (8mm all round). Also has an 18" General grabber spare, with a different tread...

Just had a similar issue on the TVR, ran a sniff test on the coolant expansion tank, and the fluid turned yellow. Got it booked in for new (composite) head gaskets, head skim, new cam, followers, timing chain, etc.

Have a look at this site, an absolute wealth of info re the Rover V8. http://www.vintagemodelairplane.com/pages/Downloads/Rover_dl.html

http://www.sc-power.co.uk/pages/sc-power-superchargers.html You might want to try the above, as they produce supercharger kits for TVR engines.

Took the old girl for the MOT. Passed with flying colours, checked the mileage, and I've only done 31 miles last year!!!

Different car and different gearbox, but when I lost 2nd and 3rd on the LT77 box in my TVR, it turned out to be the bushes connecting the remote housing to the main gearbox.

Fired the old girl up for the first time in 4 weeks. First turn of the key. Just need to drop the seats and load her up with 30 odd bags of conifer shreddings (not all at once), then do a few tip runs during the week,

Could it bea coil pack breaking down when hot, possibly a HT lead?

Some for sale on fleabay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Tornado-14CUX-ecu-chip-Range-Rover-classic-TVR-Morgan-RV8-3-9-5-3-by-Mark-Adams-/182039146126?hash=item2a6260ee8e:g:roQAAOSwuAVW1CEU

What happens when you buy a 2nd hand car, do you change all the tyres already on it?

Could it be a collapsing flexible brake hose?

Looks like a Gulzar edition...

To be honest, a lot of my mates (TVR) don't rate the Magnecor leads, A standard set of leads (don't buy anything with Intermotor on though) will do the trick
