    which 20w50 is the one...?

    Without going for a "what oil" thread award... I'm a firm fan of the Morris products even though they recommend 10w40 for the 1998 3.5 efi...i'm a user of Golden film 20w50 (https://www.morrislubricantsonline.co.uk/golden-film-sae-20w-50-classic-motor-oil.html?variation_id=1293 ), which from...

    Surely not...52.33mm really?

    Doing the hubs (1988 RRC) and thought i'd be all smart and get a 52mm socket for the adjustment rather than pipe wrenches... Bought one, it arrived nicely packed by the seller from eBay. Laid out my prayer mat and began the service. Amen. Very odd....the hub nut won't quite fit the socket...

    Where is that bloody water coming from in the footwell?

    RRC 1988 with fully working aircon - brilliant you may think. Well yes, in one way, but the squelchy carpet says otherwise. exit tube is clear and in case anyone worries there is no water under the vehicle it exits onto the exhaust... however there are two water drains off the a/c as far as i...

    Wibble Wobble - it may well be the panhard

    Covered left, right and centre, but i had the deathly wobble appear on the RR. Surely it couldn't be the bushings as i'd done those a few years ago and not done many miles. Everything eliminated (swivel weights, tie rod ends, alignment, damper (yes, i know that has nothign to do with it))...

    Please fuel consumption surprise!

    Noted in my 'rattley noise' thread, i put my freshly serviced distributor back in and adjusted to where i needed for the same performance and noted an increase from 17mpg (best) to over 20. That was with aircon blasting so very please. Wondered if anyone else had noted similar or is getting...

    Rattle from power steering area

    So...there's a tapping / rattle at the front of the engine, passenger side down by the PS pump (3.5 efi 1988). Long screwdriver stephoscope has removed all the other likely suspects (as has changing and rebuilding various bits...oh well). It looks like the actual pulley (ETC6408) is making the...

    Swapping out the old Marelli alternator for a nice new one..

    RRC - 1987 3.5 EFI Just in case you find yourself doing this and wondering why the tacho and battery light don't work as they should (or at all)...let me give you a summarised version of my week 1) Old alternator getting noisy (probably bearings) - so it's removed 2) New alternator purchased...

    RRC 1988 bottom heater hose build

    As i've now discovered LR have stopped making original hoses for the 1988 3.5 efi. Thinking (and looking) at it though can anyone tell me if: 1) The 3.5 carb bottom hose is the same as the efi minus the T-pipe to the coolant resevoir? 2) Is there a reason not to take such hose, cut and insert...
