Bit of advice needed for a friends CCV truck that I'm trying to fix; The problem is: When on throttle (like a hill etc) it lags/loses power/won't rev. It's a 3.5 running on SUs with an autobox. I've had the carbs apart and serviced them with new parts where needed - when that didn't work he...

It's been a few years since I've rebuild a V8 but I have one to do over the winter Is the Kent 180/200 or Hurricane still the best for additional torque or has something else appeared recently I don't know of (3.9 is currently running carbs but will go Megasquirt on rebuild, manual gearbox...

Just looking at my exhaust on the V8 (series Designa chassis with coils). It is a real pain to get it down and up over the gearbox mounts so everything is out the way and not subject to grounding so........ How stupid would it be to 1. buy some laser cut flanges like these and make up...

Has anyone used one of the cheap digital electric rev counters. Mine was ok but now reads wildly. Is this the end of cheapy electronics?

I stupidly took my rotor arm off the other day and forgot about the whole thing lifting up and dislodging the bob weight springs. I put them back on but strange things started to happen:- cronic misfire between 1200 -2500rpm, no engine braking. hard starting. It nearly messed up a good days...

Real Steel suggest the Moroso advance retard kit as a replacement for the bob weighs and springs on my 35DLM8. Has anybody else used them? Reason: I took the rotor off and cleaned my dizzy the other day (RR 3.9Efi engine but running on carbs) and couldn't get the cap back on. Turned out the...

How can I check the injector wiring on the 3.9Efi. I have a problem with one cylinder that won't fire and it is driving me mad So far I've checked and done: New plugs and leads Good spark at all the plugs Nothing is wrong when you run the tests on the ECU Plug as per the book The...

The V8 is in the series - hurray Runs fine but only on 7 cylinders. No1 doesn't fire up. I'm thinking valve or cam. Before I take the whole thing apart does any one have any bright ideas on what else I could check? So far.... The spark plug is dark but not oily I've changed all the...

I've just spent the day finishing up wiring up the 3.9Efi which now fitted to my 88" Series. It was a 200TDi before. Got all the relays clicktying and good spark at t plugs. Fuel in - fuel pump ticks - turn key - BINGO...... Then it died.... Tried it again and again - it fires - runs...

I went to put a Mocal remote oil filter on the 3.9EFi today and it doesn't fit. The thread on the mushroom plate bit is to0 large (only just) for the filter thread. Am I missing something or are there different sizes - I thought Rover V8s had the same type of filter through the range.

So.. the 3.9efi is now sitting in the series. I've wired it up according to some other threads on here but I've two questions. 1. I have a long piece coming out of the loom with 4 wires two of which have a 2 pin waterproof connector (pic). The colours are thick black, black with grey band...
