For the cost of an engine swap suerly you would better spend the cash on an LPG conversion and still have that gorgeous V8 burble.............. especially if the middle box somehow strangly disappeared and then reappeared as a straight thru pipe like on my P38! :D:D:D

I had a similar problem with my P38 4.6 and what the garage told me I thought they were pulling my chain. Apparently you can get interference from radio masts, mobile masts and even petrol forecourt price signs! Their radio signals interfee with your key fob frequency and the mechanic explained...

Morning all Job done and new alternator works a treat That video was agreat help and a boost to my confidence so many huge thaks to all for your help :):):)

LOL ! see my thread in the range rover section, re tensioner pulley! thankfully im a sick enough bar steward to laugh at it all!

Thank you good people If you need any expert advice on low energy lamps, have a look in the anything goes section for an idea of my usual field of expertese!! Thanks again!

Am I right in thinking the bolt thru the actual pulley is of a sprung loaded type in as much when you spanner it clockwise it just releases the tension off the belt? I know this should prboably be in the stupid questions section but I would just like to be forewarned before I start!

After the xmas from hell, family berevement, thrown my back out, EAS grief, spitting out rear brake pads, cancelled ferries back home and now a grinding alternator. 4.6 petrol V8's are not very popular in Ireland so after a five hour round trip to get one I've read up on its replacement which...

After almost 11 years of ownership, my SIIA has been sold! Unlike all the other cars or bikes I've owned, I did my research on this one and it took almost five years of searching for a goodun! Not like my usual tactic of rushing into a purchase THEN realising what a complete DOG I had just...

Land Rovers For Sale - SERIES IIA LWB PICK UP HEAVY DUTY CHASSIS 1966 - Powered by PhotoPost Classifieds I put this in last august, had some interest but had to take it off sale but its all good now (including the brakes!) and ready to go

If I've done this right there should be 3 piccys attached.......... if not, well, I sometimes call myself 'analogueman' ! I fitted one of those stupidly large boy racer filter and seems to work ok but I dont drive the truck too much so couldnt give an expert opinion ! I fitted it to the flexi...

cheers for that, i'll give it a try when it stops raining! thanks again

stoopid question but is that the nut on the brake pipe that enters the bottom of the drum next to the bleed nipple ? i might have to drag the wife out to do the pumping while i do the screwing

but its sooo much more aggro fitting, and its something ive never done before so am somewhat nervous ! Your mole grips will be at the bottom of the garden along with the rest of the tools you threw there in anger at some time or another. yeah, when i was last working on the truck ...

hahaha, finally got some 'me time' and managed to get a set of three braided brake hoses at the recomendation of the garage that sorts my p38, spent all yesterday fitting, cursing and bleeding the system. for a start the old fuild looked like gravy instead of lager and just to really hack me...

Oh sh!t, sorry to hear that ! I have the same effect on computers as well (according to the wife, anyway!) Didn't manage to get at it today so I'll try during the week if theres enough daylight...God, I'm crappin myself now! :eek:

:hysterically_laughi I know a bit in theory on mechanics but practiacl I'm severly lacking, a little knowledge is dangerous and all that! Saying that though, I've done more on this one car than all my previous cars & motorbikes put together! Armed with all of the above I'm going to have a look...

The pedal returns but when I go to press it again there's very little travel and it feels very stiff, its as if the brake fluid is going into the brakes but somehow not getting back out ?? Does that make sense ? !

I also meant to say that the brake pedal hardens as the brakes bind ! D'OH ! I hope the weather is going to be ok tomorrow cos I'm gonna be trying the above ! I know there was a servo added a few years ago but I dont know if its single or dual circuit, Ill have a look (if I can work out what...

Please help me cos I'm really struggling on this ! My brakes seem to be binding on after driving for a little while and all wheel hubs get hot. If I leave the car for half an hour or so its all back to normal again but the wheels soon start binding up again? A friend suggested it may be the...

10 points to me for finding a search and not starting a new one ! Silly question though, would this be the same info for a 1966 LWB ? Chassis number is 25111793 ? Any help would be greatly appreciated as lately when I drive it the brakes feel as if they are locking on and someone...
