    RRC ZF cooling pipes

    I think I can use the existing pipes just with the adaptor - having said that I like your set up so may give that a go first and see how that gets on!! Thanks!

    RRC ZF cooling pipes

    Hi guys, Currently rebuilding my 1990 RRC which has the 3.9efi with 4 speed auto box. The gearbox cooling pipes were totally shot but I had some other ones from a 1992 disco 3 with v8 and auto box, winner I thinks until I tried to fit the two together. Land Rover changed the fittings design in...

    Freelander 1 1.8 petrol issue

    Just to close this off - I looked it it and now water in the coolant and plenty of emulsified oil when I unscrewed the cap - simple case of blown gasket!

    Hi chaps, Thanks very much for your advice - it was the injector harness and was oily but not saturated - anyway replaced and all is well - I shall be inspecting the red plug on a regular basis for now to make sure all swell at that end - thanks!!

    Missing a cylinder

    hi all, My disco 2 had a td5 which has been great until a couple of days ago. It's suddenly running on only 4 cylinders, and therefore also massively down on power. The fuel pumps working as the 4 cylinder are working, there is no engine warning light on the dash, if you floor it when not...

    Disco 1 Brake system

    Looking at my diagram I take it the t junction at the point of the split front / rear caliper is full pressure so the pressure reduction cylinder is the 'oblong' I drew that goes to the rear lines only?

    1987 LR 90 Rebuild. Future licensing problem?

    Haha, I know what you mean, I have one of those brushes somewhere!! I don't know about your bulkhead but the principal shape is still the same so I guess they should be reasonable - it's not radically altered?

    1987 LR 90 Rebuild. Future licensing problem?

    When I built the 100" shown in my profile pic I wanted it on the RRC reg plate, dvla said no because I cut the rear off and put a defender 90 rear cross member on it. What was a no go for them was not the change of bulkhead outriggers etc but the change in chassis dimensions. If it wasn't for...

    series 3 200di water temp sender

    I had a similar issue with a 300tdi engine reading hot with a 90td sender and guage. As mentioned above I believe that although the kit may look the same its the variance in resistance that gives the hot reading. I cured mine by installing a replacement sender and a smiths 2inch temperature...

    weird 3.9 idling

    Just a quick thought, I had a similar idling issue with my 3.9 and it turned out (after a lot of swearing and complaining, whinging, more swearing and many many parts replacement) to be the oil breather pipe not having the restrictor in it causing the effects of an air leak. I've skimmed read...

    3.9 efi running issues (hot wire)

    Could the crank breather pipe creamy stuff be something simple like condensation or is there too much for that?
