Hi, I have a 1988 110 V8 and have had troubles with my heater ever since I got it but now it's hot it's more of a problem, heater blows hot with the fan off and on cold or any other combination apart from fan on where is obviously even worse. First problem is that with the fan off at speed it...

Hi all, Recently had my brakes failed and I quickly got a local garage to put a new master cylinder on and that fixed it but they explained my brakes were so crap due to the servo being on its way out. So I want to replace it but can't work out which one it is, or if it matters (type 80 or...

Hi all, Got a bit of a strange thing happening, after my last problem I completely redid the loom and rebuilt the hotwire system and got it running nicely. But at first it seemed perfect but a couple little wierd things have started happening. First is a stalling problem, normally when...

Hi, Im in dire need of some advice. Over the past few days I've been converting my 1988 3.5 110 to hotwire efi, off of a early 90s 3.9 disco.

Hi so I have a 1988 110 3.5 V8. And today I was replacing the battery gauge with a tach and as I was tidying some electrics I tried to start the car and strange things happened. The lights and starter motor still work but other things are getting no power, no fuel pump for sure and no signs on...

Hi All, My 3.5 V8 recently went for a service and an MOT, it had its throttle cable replaced and thats about it. It now wont idle like it used to, idle is very inconsistent, i keep adjusting the idle rpm screw and it then will be fine for a bit but then will either be idling too high or idle to...

This is mostly out of curiosity, but why isnt boosting the 3.5 (or any rover v8) that done often. Ive seen a couple of boosted 3.5 Rover SD1's making good power 'reliably'. As everyone knows making a rover v8 powerful (300hp ish) is very very expensive. But surely boosting one (turbo seems most...

So I was coming back from a short drive and suddenly there were 2 loud bangs (misfires?) with puffs of smoke out the exhaust straight after, then the engine cut out and refused to start again. The starter motor is fine and when a attempting to start will turn the engine over. The lights signals...
