    3.9 as flat as a pancake

    Rover V8s aren't power houses, but should be enough to get you going... NGK BPR6ES for spark plugs, also I hope you have genuine ignition parts specifically a minimum of rotor arm and distributor cap. HT leads can be any decent set. The castings for non genuine rotor arms and distributor caps...

    4.6 into 1995 RRC niggles

    Can't help on the oil pressure issue other than, what grade of oil are you running? Albeit the distributor driven type, I refaced the oil pump cover and put new gears in it and had no issues. Why didn't you renew your oil pump whilst it was in bits? :( I suppose if it was fine before you might...

    4.6 into RRC..

    Which parts off the 3.9 and 4.6 did you end up using? (Asking for a friend :p) How does a RRC go with a 4.6 in it?

    Classic Windscreen wiper confusion

    So close to booking an MOT but without wipers its dead in the water. I've utterly confused myself silly googling furiously for the solution to this. However, I'm very confused as to various windscreen wiper setups and part numbers etc for Range Rover Classics... This RRC is an E reg, EA chassis...

    Also had a slight distraction with a friends tractor... Its a very strange thing, its missing four cylinders and appears to have these things called "leaf springs"??? Heaven knows what they are. Anyway, I try not to associate myself with such absurd things. Intending to rectify this: I...

    3.5 V8 Lifter bore question

    If originality is a concern, drop the other 3.5L V8 in it, rebuild your one original V8, remove the now spare V8, fit the rebuilt V8 and off you go. ;) Rebuilding the original V8 shouldn't be too much of a problem I would have thought, if the chipped area is cleaned up (die grinder whilst being...

    1988 Range Rover Classic 3.5L V8 EFi

    Appreciate the comments! Cheers! Got the headlining in today, being an aftermarket two piece it was a lot easier. Sadly in the removal and being refitted, the foam between the fibreglass and cloth is disintergrating so it is sliiighhttly sagging in a few places now. Bugger! Not sure I want to...
