the v8's are lovely mate,but the 2.25 petrols are lovely too if they are set up rite,put a decent 2.5 petrol camshaft in it,and pretty much rip it appart and renew and refurbish everything,rings and a decent hone of the bores,shells,crank bearings, cam followers and guids,pushrods,vales,a good...

hi there,the disc conversion is a good upgrade,but bloody expensive to say the least! if the amount of labour is not a probolem for you,or you are able to cut,shape and weld,then you will be alrite with fitting a v8,but if you arnt realy able to weld,or do any fabricating,i would think abit...

wow,done a proper job of them didnt ya! just make sure when the new pushrods go in,that they are all sitting in the cups properly,in those sliders,becuase they can take chuncks off the side of them,witch causes a missfire,just makesure they are seated properly,dont just throw them in! :D good...

hi there,a compression test wont tell you if your oil rings are worn out,it can only indicate worn valves( chiped valve lips,or liped edges),on compression rings,cracked piston,anything like that! i would just rebuild her mate,most of the cost is labour charges at a garage,it will have the...

thats not bad mate, ma mums 300tdi auto disco gets abot 20 most of the time,on short journeys,abit more on long journeys,so ur old v8 is doing quite well! realy,they arnt that bad for the size of the engine! just my dad has a p38 on the drive,and he dosent use it,so i said well i can fuel...

hi all,iv been reading a few threads about this,and its ither people are getting 10-12 mpg,or 20-25 mpg! this may sound wierd but is there anyone that runs one everyday that can give me a sensible figure of what they get,if its in the expected 10's(15-19) or very low 20's then that sound...

iv decided to go with the idea of fuel injection,but dont know weather the 3.9 injection system will fit,it will bolt on i presume,same engine,same manifold,but is it set up differently? and if i get the whole lot in one,do i just plug in and install,and find somewhere for the box(ecu)to go in...

yea my inner wings were only abit worse than that,so i looked at what whole new pannels cost,and found they arnt that expensive,so just unbolted everything,and threw them away,too far gone to repair! the replacement pannels are only about 150 quid a side,thats the whole inner wing from paddock...

just ordered some lockheed cylinders for paddock spares,so ill see how i go with them,im not buying the trw ones again,they are too expensive! would anyone give me any tips on bleeding them, iv done this with soo many landys before, and never had as many probolems as iv had with my own,so im...

well i am half thinking of just refurbishing the carbs at the moment,but i have no idea where to start with wiring in an injection system,what do i have to do? :confused: ino the injection would be a beter option,becuase of the bhp increase,and the better delivery of fuel!

well iv put soo many new parts on it,including flexi pipes,and new feed pipe to master cylinder,and cleaned the bottom of the fluid resovour! it was dirty when i put the first lot of cylinders on,and its had about 2 more sets now,so if there was any dirt,there aint now! and she aint a total rust...

yea ino,but both of the bolts that snaped wuddnt come out with the easy out,and i didnt fancy snaping another one,so i just drilled it out,and put an m6 thread in there,not much else i could have done! if it wasnt alloy,i wud be able to heat it,but even then its the oil pump face,so wud probably...

hi all,some of you probably know iv been having probolems with my brakes(for ages) and have now found out 2 of my wheel cylinders are leaking,and at 40 quid each,they r ither going back,or getting rebuilt,and the boxes for them have dissapeared so,im fixing them! is there any decent repair kits...

iv just had two bolts shear in my old v8 timing cover,where the oil pump is bolted on,becuase i was going to pack it with jelly so it primes properly when i start her up,and managed to drill one out and tap an m6 thread,but an easy out snaped in the other( fuuuuuuuuuuuk!!!!!!),and of coarse its...
