Now that ones worth a few bob. Would still sell it to by a new landy though, :D

That looks like a yank cherokee jeep to me :D

Sorry it's the Rover 3.5 SD1 engine I have. It came out of a low milage 80's Rover SD1, And is a good engine that starts on the button. First thing I did was give it a full service when I got it. (not cheap for one of these engines) but worth it. Think As most seem to say, run it and enjoy...

Yes I have noticed LPG prices have crept up over the years, when I first fitted gas to my old VW camper, about 10 years ago now, (think I was one of the first to fit it to an aircooled camper, it took me and a mate about a weekend) it was about 30p a ltr! It's supposed to be cheaper because it's...

Now I've had so many differing opinions on this one. (fitting LPG to my su carbed rover sdi v8) the main one being that they don't like gas because it makes them run too hot. Now I've spoken to a reputable LPG fitters (they fit kits to celebs vehicles) and they said it only makes the engine...

Ahh Thank you! :)

Thanks for that. only prob is my odometer, or speedo cable, or both are not working at the mo, so I'll do that as soon as I get chance to fix them. for the time being I'd just like to know how many ltrs the tank holds? :)

Firstly can anyone tell me how many ltrs a 1987 swb 90's fuel tank holds? Just trying to work out what MPG im getting out of my V8. Also, A long shot, but you never know your luck. has any one got, or can anyone tell me where I can get a decent, NOT KNACKERED 200tdi defender engine from? if...

Another question for the engine experts. If I put twin kenlowes on my V8, will it compensate for the extra heat being made by LPG'ing my V8?? I know many experts dont like LPG'ing V8's because it makes them run too hot, and will eventually kill them. I'm just wondering if there is anything I can...

I thought as much. shame though, cos the MPG sounds ok. Many thanks for your input, it all helps me decide what engine to get. seems it's only the 200tdi thats going to be practical for me. Best start saving for 'liverage' to do the job! :lol:

I did think about that, And I would if it was an everyday bashed up landy, but I'm a bodywork man, and I've completely restored the bodywork, as well as the chassis, given it numerous coats of shaltz spray on underseal, replaced loads of other mechanical parts, and just resprayed it. My...

That seems very good MPG for an N/A. Sounds promising. I'm just wondering though was your truck, and your mates a truck cab, i.e. less weighty than my 90 with a hard top and door etc, and soon to have a winch. or tricked up in any way to get better MPG? I'm no racer either, can I ask what...

Ok, thanks for that. Dont think it'll be powerfull enough for my needs then. I will have to tow up hills. I've Since found out the N/A is on something like 67HP as against 110 for a 200tdi. A big difference! also the 200tdi gets near 30mpg. Hmmm looks like it's got to be a 'liverage' 200tdi...

My SWB 87 90 originally had an N/A engine fitted to it, but it was taken out by the previous owner, and a V8 put in. To be honest I don't really need the V8 in it now, and I certainly don't need the fuel expence of it! And was thinking of buying a recon 2.5 N/A engine as they are far cheaper to...

Thanks steve. Will take you up on that when I've got the niggles sorted out on my landy, can do without breaking down on a lane somewhere lol. Looking forward to it! wont be long now before I've sorted my landy, just waiting for mobile tuner guy to come and find my little electrical prob. At...

Thats why I got confused :lol:

:lol: yes your right. I admit I have very little mechanical knowledge. To be honest I wouldn't even know if the old one was worn or not by looking at it. But it sounds like the cam thats for sale for £40 is the one you guys are talking about. But I doubt I have the knowledge to fit it. I think...

Ok thanks. I was confused as the ones under the rockers are often wrongly refered to as the camshafts.

Oh ok.Thanks for the reply, But I'm a bit confused here. is it the cam under the rocker covers with the followers your talking about? or is there another one somewhere? I'm asking as I saw a cam for sale for an SD1 v8, for £40.00 (they are differant apparently depending on what v8 you have i.e...

Oh, forgot to ask, how much is a new cam to get fitted? as I can't be sure when it was last done.
