I took a moody picture of George the other night. I changed the Mondials for the Hurricanes I got from down the road. They needed a clean, but they turned out nice :cool:

...bloomin' carry on with my low mileage engine and blown gaskets, I got a replacement thanks to Wazz and BFG. It's been a slow process, but coming along nicely. Before we removed the lump, we did a compression test. All cylinders gave this result or within a few psi. All done dry. Had to...

Evenin all. As per title the engine is coming out . What's best way to pull it out, with or without the torque converter attached? I'm thinking to unbolt it and if any cracks , replace the flexi drive plate. So can I undo the bolts from the removable circular inspection plate on the bottom of...

Is there a way to fool the EAS into "thinking" the engine is running? I've got half the engine apart and had to raise her (I have one way valves that are tee'd into the block) to get the last exhaust manifold bolt out. I can't be arsed undoing the tees each time :rolleyes: So I figured if I...

Most will know George, but for those who dont, 2000 V8 4.0. Had misfire for ages and replaced a bunch of stuff before finally figuring out it was the Crank Sensor. Anyway, it murdered the cats so I de-catted it until I discovered the cause as above. I bought new cats and will fit them soon as...

I have decided to sell my car as I am getting grief from her indoors :confused: I have put a small fortune into this car so it hasn't ever let me down to the point where it was off the road for any time (although melting a suspension pipe warranted a trip home on a breakdown truck :p resulting...

Ha ha, the subject box may cause consternation :p:p 2000 4.0 THOR. Few times I've fired up and gone, noticed a bit of steam from the expansion bottle and a puddle. Never overheated and yes the gauge works. Only appears to happen just after starting and driving a short distance (say a mile or...

I've lost the will to live with this damn car :( I just want to fix it and sell it now.... New fueling ECU coded and working and STILL the computer showing a MAF fault. The grotty plug is working, the ECU may or may not have been faulty. But the MAF fault showed with 2 different new Bosch...

Not sure where to go with this... I've got a problem that's been present for such a long time. I had the local indie plug in his (exceptional) code reader ages ago and it came up with a MAF fault, so I bought a Bosch replacement and nothing changed. I figured I'd wasted money and swapped back...

After the incident with the wagon driving asshat, I managed to track down only one matching lamp for my model (2000 P38) and one plain silver lamp from I think a 96 or perhaps 97 car... So I was faced with a dilemma. do I bung it on and hope no once notices or do I do something about it? o_O I...

Before I go bothering the guy at the local LR indy shop, I thought I would ask here. I should be able to figure this stuff out, but my brains fried :confused: Using lots of fuel, both LPG and petrol, smells eggy (or a weird whiff when on LPG) plenty power, loads of power. Low down it can be a...

Anyone know the outer diameter of the exhaust between the cat(s) and the flange for coupling to the centre box? I want to cut the flange off, add bends and straights to allow twin pipes front to rear after the cats. I had to order a pair of rear boxes from the local indie (Bearmach ones) so my...

My old bus is taking a while to rise after a 1st start. I bought a pump kit, but it was just done last 3 years and I've only done around 18k miles in that time. So before I start stripping stuff, I thought I'd mes around. I plugged in my airline and fired up the pump by removing the relay and...

The legend that is George has new legends. I figured the green/gold didn't suit the blue, so I got these instead..... :cool: I squinted the rear one due to being infernally stupid, but it's barely noticeable :rolleyes: I also added a V8 badge on the opposite side of the lower lid... Now...

My bindoze 10 is utter cack and mostly doesn't do what I need. My Win 7 died because all the virgins in Microplop loaded it with useless updates until it was taking ages to start and load.... So, since bindoze 10 wont work the EAS unlock software, I need a fresh download to my newly formatted...

Trying to find these is hard! I found rocking horse poop, but no NRV's. Anyone got any new ones? Ta :)

Had George in for a car show. Didn't win anything (never expected to), but the judge did say he hadn't seen such a clean example :cool: The winner was a 2001 XKR which was blemish free..... But delighted that the judge even noticed my efforts :) Here she was after the event.... And today...

Turns out my condenser (at only 3yrs old) had a hole in the top corner. Can only think the bit of foam on the underside of the slam panel has been soaked with 20yrs of salt off the roads, oil, petrol, unicorn ****e, etc. The acidic mix has eaten through the 0.02mm of aluminium and lost all my...

:cool: A whole week of torture, parts and empty wallet, but she's back :) You may note she's slightly different around the bumper and fogs ;) You won't notice the new parts underneath, but she has radius arm bushes, CV joint (reluctor ring issues) and a shed load of work that took a fat...

As the subject title suggests, I hit a deer the other night. Dirty bastard jumped out from the right at point blank giving no time to react. Now you'd think I would have had the whole width of the road because it came from the right, but no! Thanks to BT digging up the left side of the road...
