+ 1 for the turbo.

Carbs or EFI, the latter introduced in Oct. '85 but SU's could still be specified. If it's original it will be a flapper at that age.

Just like a number of people I know in the case of the former :rolleyes:

I've experienced liner movement on my own 3.9 years ago & also on a friend's RV8. Playing the sound I have to say the timing of the noise does sound like it's in time with the engine's RPM but the sound itself is different to any liner I've heard .. more hollow, for want of a better word...

Right up to the moment it goes wrong :rolleyes:

Like many older drivers I hate today's brilliant headlights, to the point that I try sticking to well lit roads on the few occasions that a night journey is essential. My eyes are tested annually & meet DVLA requirements. What I don't understand is why these lights need to be so bright, given...

Yes they are a lovely old thing especially in V8 form .. full of character & reliable if maintained properly. Neither of which attribute can be applied to today's showroom queens.

LR slipped up there :rolleyes: But then my 37 year old classic is still free of any serious corrosion & has parked in the open for the past 16 years. The secret is spending money on rust prevention treatment, rather than accessories.

Corrosion has been synonymous with Land Rover products for decades, in many cases at a much earlier age than yours. Some things never change.

Sorry to p... on your bonfire (no pun intended) but latter day research has concluded that Viking ships used for funeral pyres where in fact burned ashore, not floated out towards Valhalla as Hollywood would have us believe .. in which case your P38 will still be going off-road ;)

My 3.5efi doesn't have the facility for code reading, but I changed what I assume is the ECU temp sensor last year & for the first time in 15 years ownership the exhaust tail-pipes are now grey after a run , rather than black :cool: The sensor was in a Lucas branded box .. made in China, but...

Unnecessary, just wear thicker underwear ;) The velour seats in my classic are never cold, but I'm guessing you have leather?

6x4 then.

Especially if it's JLR stock :rolleyes:

Late to the party I know, but if you are going the LPG route stick to the 3.5

A very merry Christmas & a happy New Year to all contributors :) May 2025 bring you motoring enjoyment devoid of stress & expense. Ho, Ho, Ho :rolleyes:

Unless the design of these carriers have changed over the intervening years since I had one; bear in mind the rear door cannot be opened from the inside when the carrier is in the travel position. In the event of an accident rear seat passengers will be unable to escape unaided. Just a thought

Effectively a Rover P4 100 engine. Lovely smooth unit with excellent torque at low revs. but inherently unsuited to a working LR. Had a '79 12 seater variant decades ago & retrofitted a Rover P5 three litre engine .. world of difference in performance with little or no increase in fuel consumption.

Hi again guys Having just got my RRC hazard switch working again, as a result of a small piece of the red square warning bulb cover breaking off & preventing the switch from functioning, I want to replace the cover as aged plastic was probably the cause of the breakage. There are complete...
