For sale is my 1989 90" (Defender) 3.9 v8 (Carb). 12 months MOT, Currently SORN. Where to start? I bought it with the intention of tinkering....It snowballed! Its easier to list whats not new or replaced. But here goes. Overhauled Range Rover 3.9 V8 (carb fed) Brand new oil cooler...

Stupid question for the day chaps. I am away from my V8 for a period of time and need to get a pair of cone air filters (cheapest and simplest solution for me) to fit onto my twin SU. Does anyone know or can measure the diameter of the inlet to the SU (where the elbow to the air filter...

I am completely f*cking stumped with my issue (not mine the f*cking V8). Its a 3.9 Hotwire and in my 90". It ran fine a few weeks ago, starting almost instantly. I went away, come back and now it wont even attempt to spark! Short list of whats done. New coil New Dizzy (complete...

Hi gents. I have my 3.9 firing nicely now and running as smooth as can be expected without any exhaust. I was wondering how to go about a build. I have standard 1990 3.9 RRC headers and downpipes (all fit in nicely) but the 'Y' piece (again RRC) doesnt seem to fit in. It clashes with...

Whoo-frickin-hooo! My 3.9 fired up today for the first time in two years (and the first time in my 90). I have a quick question for you all before i finish the install. I have fitted an electronic oil pressure gauge with a transducer that had a broken sender pin (threaded sender) I soldered...

Hi All. Sorry to be on the scrounge for answers/advice again so soon. I believe i need a new Dizzy (its the only part I haven't changed on my electronics and thought what the hell!). I am looking at simonbbc's site and they can supply either a Lucas 35DLM8 or their own powerspark...

Gents. I hope i can pick your collective brains as mine is telling me to stick a pair of underpants on my head and a couple of pencils up my nose... I am in the dying (its taking its time though) throws of finishing of my D90 (Was a TD) 3.9EFi (14CUX hotwire) conversion. I am having...

Gentlemen. I have gone and f**ked my build buy removing the EFI system for a repair and not noting where the plumbing goes! I have checked out a haynes manual and the Land rover manual but none explain where the hoses go! Can anyone help? I have prepared an image of what i am stuck...

Hi All. I know its been asked (i know this through searching ;) ) but there isnt a lot of information out there and wondered if i could prod for some? I want (well SHMBO has requested) forward facing rear seats in my 90 CSW (Converted from a van). Has anyone succesfully fitted Disco 2 3rd row...

Hi all. I am in the process of swapping my plenum on my 3.9 hotwire for a 4.0 plenum from i believe a late 90's P38. The reason is i have 2 brand new P38 plenums sitting in my garage and my 3.9 one was fooked. The issue is because the 4.0 versions are not hotwire they dont have the...

Hi all. I am putting a 3.9 EFi Range Rover V8 in my 90 and have a problem with converting the engine to fit the manual box. I have removed the auto box and everything else but need to remove this aluminium lump and starter ring (sure it will come off when this ally lump is off). I have...

Hi all, I have a 1990 90 and am replacing my broken square reversing and fog lamp with the newer (NAS?) style round lamps. Fitting isnt an issue but i would prefer to wire up to the correct connectors rather than bodge a connection. Does anyone know the part number or where i can get two...

Hi all, I hope this is the right place to place this but i cannot find a for sale/wanted forum section. I am trying (hard) to find a long stick LT77 from a RRC. It has to be a long stick. I know they arent the strongest but its not for a competition vehicle. So maybe you or someone you know...

Hi all, I am a little stumped and to be honest confused about how to fix my current issue. I am in the process of fitting a 3.9V8 into my 2.5TD. I have a LT77 from a Disco but dont much fancy the gear lever in between the seats (and the work that goes with it) so i have a couple of options...

Firstly i apologise for the thread if it offends. I am just finishing getting everything together for my TD to 3.9V8 swap in my 90. I have a kit of parts i have assembled but need a sanity check from more wizened members. I have:- 3.9 V8 with EFI and manifolds Flywheel Clutch kit LT77...

Currently i have a 200tdi and i want to fit a safari (or similar) snorkal. I plan to in the not to distant future fit a 3.9 V8 and would like to know if it is possible to adjust a safari snorkal to fit a V8? Surely its just a tube from the snorkel to the airbox? and as long as nothing else...

Hi all, Another question for you all i am affraid. I know LED lighting and electronics but not more industrial electrics hence my question. I have a roof bar and 4 wipac lights i want to wire up to come on with full beam. Can i have one wire from the roof to the power source and daisy chain...

I want to fit some wider wheels tyres to my currently stock D90. I have been told i can fit 33 12.5 x 15 without a lift. I fancied 285 75 16 as these are roughly the same Rolling radius at 33" I understand i may need spacers to avoid lock issues but anything else on stock suspension? I dont...

Hi all, As the title suggests i am after some info about whats swapable between my Range Rover classic donor vehicle (engine donor primarily) and defender 90. The two vehicles are both 1990. a 200tdi defender (90) and a 3.9 vogue SE RRC. Mainly i am interested in the suspension lift kit thats...

I am not sure if this is the right forum so if not i apologise. I have a 1965 S2a V8 which sadly is a little worse for where. Its MOT'd but wont pass another with the bulkhead and chassis resembling a teabag. I was thinking of possibly moving it over to a 90 hybrid with a brand new 90"...
