    Why do you have a V8 ?

    Because I have sooo much money :rolleyes: Or maybe it's that soundtrack and raw power and acceleration on the steepest of hill climbs. YeHA

    A stupid mistake egr - help!!!

    So the lesson here is penetrating oil. Get your egr bolts soaked for a good week before you attempt the job. Thats how I did mine & the A-frame ball joint. No worries there.

    Electrical Gremlins

    If I turn on the fog, the right indicators come on. Easy way to identify if it is on the earth side or power side is to remove both bulbs. If the other lights still come on then it's power side.

    Which gearbox for rover V8 into SIII 88?

    I'm running the LT95 in my Series lightweight. It came fitted, and the car was used in competition. So it must be a bomb proof choice. Gearbox tunnel had to be modified to make it all fit. I just got new prop shafts made as the splines were shot. I could have taken a prop cut it down and welded...

    Electrical Issues

    What about using a jump lead from battery to chassis? Also try another temp. earth from the chassis to negative of the head lights. I suspect the headlights and inidcators would share an earth which could be dodgy. Indicators could also be the flasher unit. It won't flash unless it has...

    V8 dies

    I had a pretty successful day and can now conlude; 1. My compression tester is faulty. It gave radings of 50psi. Borrowed my mates and lowest reading was 180 with highest at 200. So it must be a high compression engine or someone done some tweeking. 2. Blowing at the manifold, is a craked...
