Again, Rat, many thanks

Pete, recently did the pipe check and sealed the chamber. The afm pipe is not great but not entirely collapsed - I am having trouble finding one at a realistic price Yes, there is a ninth injector, I generally have it disconnected but have tried with it in both states - no change thanks mate

thanks mate;)

F- there is fuel in the filter Rat - yes, 8496. plastic spinning as you say. I had thought the same as you tell happened to you but its good to have someone confirm that its the only way before I start. Timing is not far out as the dizzy is in its usual place, and NO, I have not sorted the...

I can get the engine to start but as soon as the throttle is touched the engine dies. I have fitted a new fuel pump, fuel filter, coil and may other things to no avail. The coolant temp sensor turns but does not unscrew so that a work in progress. I have no means of measuring the fuel pressure

Thank you. I believe what you are telling me, it is just that I am at fault in not finding the marks yet. I am far from expert on petrol engines. Plus this vehicle has had many owners and much questionable alteration work done, so I am not all that confident in finding things as they are...

Discool, the parts page has been a big help, thanks mate. The new temp sensor is in but since it had no effect either thats not the problem or I broke it (likely) when I fitted it. ECU maybe.... The timing marks- I found the slot on the damper pulley and applied paint but the pressed metal...

NERDS? Sir, I may be an idiot, but a nerd?

on the 4CU flapper engine, the coolant temp sensor is the one very close to and behind the TTS...is that right? And no fuel temp sensor on the rail? also,ignition timing marks...I can only see one cut in the bottom pulley and the scale on the front case has the quadrant of metal but no...

genuine LR manual, flapper 3.5 on my 87

its the efi one thanks Coolio

Hmmm, my LR workshop manual shows the hotwire CUX system for 1987 models, not the flapper CU thats fitted. I cannot even find a fuel temp sensor...and I cannot tell which the coolant temp one is short of taking things apart and matching like for like. I do have the 87 haynes book but I can...

The Froggy "easy on" panels are very attractive, I know, I have bought a fair few myself. However, for the bigger panels I found John Craddocks shop-soiled ,ex-display cheaper and sometimes better. Paddocks prices and quality were good too. Both these large, long established companies are old...

Im starting to feel all Serbian, the average age of the cars in my family is at least 20 years

use a "friends" phone ? or maybe message them via their fleabay shop ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/str/easyonpanels

Funny, that showed up as a new post...at least to me and my pet dyslexia :confused::oops:

Rimmers, John Craddock, YRM, Paddocks, all the usual suspects. Most structural panels are available or not too silly to fabricate. Maybe look at the LR workshop manual for correct welds so you do not get problems with nosey officials later. Saying that, I do not know what your inspections are...

RRCs wre the first vehicles over lots of wet places in the pacific (not actually IN the pacific, more that area) so it can be done. If its for ****s and giggles, a V8 is a nice drive (when it goes) and makes a lovely noise

Looks like my 87 did a couple of years ago. So...overall not too bad considering its a decade younger. The inner wings are straightforward to do, the panels easily available. The back end can be a sod to keep square when doing the tailgate frame area. Hows the rear chassis crossmember? If it...

Sorry guys, been away from confusers for a while, but thanks all. I will work through all of this. The CSI is disconnected. I have a new coolant temp switch ready to be fitted, as said above, for elimination if nothing else. Can anyone point me to a fuel temp sensor for sensible money? I have...
