I saw once, but can't find it anywhere, a diagram with the overall dimensions of the rover v8 cylinder head. I think it was in one of the 'how much can my heads be skimmed' threads. I also think it was an official LR diagram so head measurements could be checked against it to establish how much...

Hi all, hope I can get your thoughts on this. I have a 1989 RRC 3.5 Efi (flapper). Recently rebuilt the engine and she runs rough from cold (lumpy, low RPM), once warm she's much smoother but still not as smooth as I'd like, not perfect. I did a compression test, dry test with engine warm and...

1989 3.5 Efi. Wanted to set the butterfly today, using a feeler gauge. Consulted the haynes book of bollocks. I have the correct feeler gauge and I can see the end of the screw I want to adjust, but how do I turn it?!?! Helpful haynes says "use a small allen key"?!?!? Thanks for the specifics...

Hi all Just finished rebuilding my '89 3.5 V8 Efi (RRC). Put it back in the car and filled with oil and coolant. There is now a drip of coolant forming every day from between the block and the heads on BOTH sides, right in the middle. The engine has never been run so this is without any...

Hi all Anyone ever removed/replaced the inlet manifold bypass pipe? The metal (steel?) pipe that sticks out at the front of the inlet manifold? Mine's rusty and if I look up the new part it's threaded so I assume it just unscrews? 3.5 V8 by the way...

Hi all. Fitting new props (1989 3.5 with BW transfer box). In Haynes it says the splined section on the front prop must face the axle, and the one on the rear must face the transfer box. Both props facing forward basically. My present front prop is the other way round, splines to gearbox...

Got a mate selling his MOT fail spares or repairs RRC 3.5 Efi auto. LPG with underslung tanks, 100k milesish, needs some work to get it going. LPG recently serviced with new parts. That's all I know at the moment. He's looking for around £350-£400 for the whole thing but may break. Let me know...

Well, the latest bit of british leyland magic on my RR to go on strike is the sunroof. I have a 1989 3.5 Efi with electric metal sunroof. It tips up at the back, in the sort of vent position, but it wont go back into the roof to fully open. I looked on top while pressing the button and the back...

Hi all, guy near me selling his 4.6 LSE for £500, asked me to ask around if anyone's interested? All I know so far is it's got 12 months MOT. Seeing him and it tomorrow so can get more info then (possibly even pictures if you're really interested!)

Evening guys, been fitting polybushes to my '89 Classic and got to the last 2, the A frame bushes (next to the self leveling unit above the rear axle). The others were pretty straight forward but these look a bit more complicated! Read Haynes but may as well be in french and I'm sure that book...

Hi all, I'm pretty certain my 1989 classic is leaning slightly to the right. Seems to sag. I put new shocks and springs on a couple of years ago, just cheapy pro comp shocks and britpart standard height springs. Would it sag that fast? Any other ideas? Self levelling ball joint? I've polybushed...

Even with all the bits and bobs surely £5000.00 is a hell of a lot for 4.6 Soft Dash Range Rover Classic 1994 sequential LPG on eBay, also, Land Rover Range Rover, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 26-Feb-08 17:35:57 GMT) Is he having a laugh or what. I might stick mine on later for...

Sorry, meant to ask with my last thread, been looking at camshafts and the difference in price between genuine and replacement is MASSIVE :eek: . Is there a noticeable difference in quality. No chance/way i'm payin £250+ for a camshaft!:D

Possible to stick a 3.9 camshaft in my 3.5? Will it give a few more BHP?

Hi all, my 1989 3.5 Efi vibrates somewhat after going over a bump at any speed. Also does it slightly while cornering heavily. Sounds like it's coming from the rear of the car. Sounds like going over a cattle grid at speed, though obviously not as bad otherwise I wouldn't be driving it! Only...

More dodgy adverts on ebay... 2003 RANGE ROVER VOGUE on eBay, also, Land Rover Range Rover, Cars, Cars, Parts Vehicles (end time 03-Mar-08 14:19:30 GMT) Scrap that! Reported it to ebay and it's gone now. Bloke reckoned he wanted £6900 for a 2003 Vogue (thought I'd died and gone to...

I knew it! Those bloody planks in Halfords said there was no harness to fit a new stereo into a 1989 RRC. "Should go straight in mate"! "Computer says no"! Knew I wasn't going mad. Too bloody late now, cut and spliced all wires individually, with very helpful advice on what each one did from...

My 3.5 Efi has been hesitant at the first junction I come to in the morning recently. She starts fine and runs fine up to the junction (about 100yds, bumpy lane though so slowly), then I put the power on to get out onto the main road and she stutters. Stank of fuel this morning when it happened...

Can someone pleeeease help. The RH stop lamp on my '89 Classic keeps randomly failing. At first I thought the bulb had gone but i've since realised if I remove the bulb and put it back in again it works fine, for a bit. It's almost like taking it out and putting it back is resetting it...

Hi everyone. Want to put a new stereo in my '89 Classic Vogue 3.5. Can anyone tell me what the wires on the old stereo do? It's a standard range rover radio/cassette. There are two lines of them, one vertical in a group of 5, which i assume is power etc, and the other horizontal in a group of 8...
