Hi, I've got a p38 4.6 and i've started to get quite a bad vibration when the gear box goes into kickdown. Under normal driving and accelerating it's fine but when you push the accelerator to the floor there is quite a bad vibration. The vibration only lasts until the gear box has changed back...

I got a new distributor for my 93 3.9 efi engine off ebay from seller simonbbc I've had it for over a year now and never had any problems with it. Can't remember the exact price but I know it was well under a £100.

Hi, i've just picked up a 97 4.6 hse which is pretty immaculate apart from the spare wheel well which to me looks beond repaire and appears to be held together with hamerite curtisy of the previous owner. I'd rather replace the whole panel than patch it up if possible. So does any body know if...

If you say your new alloys are off a late disco, then you will need wheel adaptors to take your pcd on your landy from 5x165 to 5x120, Now to buy these new are not cheap, your looking anywhere from £250 up to about £400 depending on where you get them from. You will also probably need to get...

im having a similar problem with my fuel gauge at the moment. Mine was stuck on half. It would rise but not go below half. but with ignition off it would then drop to empty. i took the sender out of the tank and moved the float up and down and the gauge went up and down with the sender. I then...

you want to go for the EFI option. It's pretty straight forward to wire up. Not much more hassle to fit than one on carbs plus more power and reliability and slightly better mpg than carbs. Theres quite a few threads over on the v8 forum about doing the conversion. I personaly went for an auto...

HI, I used an external fuel pump when I did my conversion. I first tried an old facet red top fuel pump I had lying in the garage but it wasn't powerful enough so I got one simular to this on from ebay. V8 EFI external Bosch type 4FP Fuel Pump ROVER V8 TVR on eBay (end time 30-Mar-11 17:56:19...

well I couldn't seem to get it working by going in series with the earth wire on the relay. However I have maneged to get it working correctly by putting it in series with a brown/red wire on the back of the ignition switch. It appears to be the cranking live. trouble is a lot of my wiring...

Hi, I have a 1988 90 which I fitted a 3.9 efi auto which now runs and drives fine. I've now decided to wire up the starter inhibitor switch so it will pass it's MOT and make it safe for others to drive. Has anyone done this before or able to give me some pointers? As far as I can make out I...

the worst I have heard about and experienced were bosch super 4's . it wrote off one engine so steer well clear as there is no advantage and they cost more and at least the others wont do that! Thats interesting to know. Why are the super 4's so bad? only ask as i was concidering them when I...

nice job on ur cappings, thats how i want to finish mine off, just I cant weld so got to wait to ask a mate lol I must admit I thought the seller was selling them a bit on the cheap side thats why I posted the thread to let folks know of a bargin. As for the extra room, when i push my seat right...

yes my transducer has two drives one either side. Its off a 93 3.9 RRC. I curently have the gear box to transducer connected so have no stalling issues but have not re connected the speedo side.

here's a few pics of the bar in place. What a difference it makes. You can push the seats right back and they can recline quite far. Although I only did it for looks as being a short ass at only 5'10" seat position was never an issue lol. I just need to carpet it out now, get some new rear seats...

cheers for the link, it gives me an idea of how it will look when I finish.

well no going back now, I got board today and hacked half my bulkhead out with the angle grinder lol. To be honest , it looks like it's going to be an easy job to do. I'll take some pics tomorrow and post them when it's all done.

I used a 2.5 td radiator on my v8 conversion. I've had no over heating issues so far.

ive not really had a good look at the bulkhead yet to see how it will come out, ive seen a few pics of retro fit bars but no close ups of the side or floor where the bulkhead has been removed. I plan on carpeting the whole of the rear anyway. If it looks totally rubbish i'll just have to get...

Hi, Just came across this whilst looking through fleebay and thought id share the information, if any one is looking for a bulkhead removal bar or thinking of doing so there is a seller on fleebay selling genuine landrover items for £65 plus £15 postage. Miles cheaper than the aftermarket ones...

I agree there's lots of different factors involved and that poor maintainance and driving styles play a major part. My old 3.9 rrc on gas cooked it's self although I never did find the cause of it. I even think my 3.9 in my 90 is starting to show signs of the problem and it just runs on...

It's true that the 3.5 is the stronger block due to having more block material between the water jacket and the bores, but from the 3.9 to the 4.6 all thoses engines share the same bore diameter but differ in stroke length. so are all as equally susseptable to enivitable failier at some point in...
