Didn't think the fuel pump should stop while the engines running!?

When I've accidentally left a speed sensors unplugged in the past it's made the car idle way to high. Might be worth fitting a speed sensor. Or if it's an auto check you've got a gear select input going to your ecu. That can cause similiar.

My pennies are on some form of air leak.

Yeah definitely sounds like a tappet and that your mechanic is perhaps an italian plumber called Mario?!

I'm not a fan of engine flush...can loosen the crud that's sitting happily doing nothing in the edges of the heads and then get into he tappets. Did this myself and it made it worse. But definitely do and oil change and use something like a 15/50, valvoline do one and my oil pressure seems very...

A knock now not a tap you say, have you checked to see its not your cats making the knocking/tapping sound? If you remover the rocker covers and can put a dot off white paint on each push rod then run the engine you'll be able to see if they are all rotating nicely. A tappin lifter could well e...

New lifters with an old cam is no no. The cam and lifters wear to each other so it's more likely that each cam lobe is worn with a slight dome shape to it. This would very quickly wear away at your new lifters making them just like the ones that would have been in there before replacement.

The fibre or composite gaskets make a better seal that tin ones and don't rust, they also do composite cylinder head gaskets too. Any good cylinder head gasket set should come with valve stem oil seals too.

As title suggests does anyone know what size the bolt heads are that hold the a frame to the chassis, not the ball joint end. Mine are all crusty and want to use the right size 1st time

Immob issue would stop it turning over at all. Did you knock any wiring in the drivers side kick panel area. That's where the ecu and all the relays are.

Turn over the engine by hand with the dizzy cap until the rotor arm is pointing at roughly the 5'oclock position. That's roughly where the arm should point at tdc for number 1 cylinder. Then move the dizzy body until your ht lead running to the number 1 plug is lined up with the rotor then...

The Bastardo sold the box an all the bits awhile ago...going to get a manual v8 disco tomorrow and put all my axles and engine in it!

Hope sue doesn't mind!!! aye, aye!!??? My knowledge of the su's is check the dashpot oil, linkages and then find a really old man who works from a shed that smokes a pipe to set them up

Maf sensor, don't some lpg kits not use the cars maf but it would be used on petrol. Try unplugging the maf and see how it drives on petrol like that

Try a test lamp on your coil terminals. The earth clip of the light to the -be of the coil and the test light tip to the +ve, crank the engine as see if the test light pulses. It should pulse as the trigger wheels in the dizzy passes the pick up. There should be a little black resistor inline...

I abused the beejesus out off Offroad on Sunday and it didn't explode!! There's a v8 r380, flywheel, clutch, cooler pipes, and pedal box on tut tinternet for three fiddy!! New autobox bout a grand!

I'm going to Offroad it today so I fully expect it to die. I've been thinking. Out converting to Emmanuel. From what I gather I need a r380 box ( guessing one from a v8 so its got the the right bell housing), pedal box, clutch 'n flywheel, some bush for my crank and all the other little bits...

As long as it's not that tit Ray Mears i don't mind!!

Who's Ray?! It was the pipe got my new special sillycone one fitted and it's fine now. Liking the new cam (crower 50229) can feel there's abit of extra oomph to it, seems to pull better from about 2000rpm right round to over 4000. No change to idle or anything else either. Bad news, my...

Darn thee little pesky green one!! As said that goes to a to the front right of your inlet manifold near your coolant temp sensor
