1) Is your idle high all the time or only when your coming to a stop whilst driving? I recommend fitting the speed transducer it made a difference to the way mine runs. I have the speedo cable connected to the plastic end of the rst and the cable to the transfer box connected to the metal end...

Apologies i have not replied back to peoples posts, Ive been working away this week. So this morning i replaced the 88 degree thermostat with an 82 degree one and its running fine now. Thanks everyone for the advice.

After doing the conversion the original 3.9 coolant sender and 110 gauge didn't match so I have fitted a vdo gauge and sender matching set. I also have an ecumate which shows coolant temp from Ecu which reads about 5 degrees cooler. That is also my understanding of the visco but mine isn't...

The fan is not working correctly even though the viscous coupling is new. on start up from cold the viscous coupling is slightly stiff until warm but once the temp is up it is not locking. I don't get this because its brand new coupling fitted only a few days ago. I think that the rad price...

Hi I have converted my 110 hicap from the old 19j engine to a 3.9 V8 serpentine belt with efi but after six months or so having problems with overheating. I have the original 2.5td radiator which i believe should provide the best cooling characteristics of all 90/110/defender radiators. The...

Nobody have the proper figures?

Hi I have just done a compression test on my 19J. I think the figures are low but I'm struggling to fond the specs anywhere. Dry psi 320,310,300,320 Wet psi 390,370,360,360 Any ideas? Cheers

First of all welcome! Nice to see a younger guy getting the bug early on. Have fun and do keep up the pictures, these rebuild threads are really good. I wish I had a decent workshop like yours. Once again welcome and hope you have fun.

Hiya everyone. I'm not new her but back after a long break. I've just recently bought a 1971 Series 3 diesel so will probably be asking lots of questions! I've been studying and searching the forum but not really found what i need. Cheers Phil Thought I would add a picture.

I didn't intend to open such a can of worms!! I have been looking at getting myself a good 110 hicap and thought going to someone like Nene might be a good idea, thats until i looked at there website and seen the prices!!

I know they are well know but what are they like to deal with and why do there prices seem really high?

Looks very good. Seeing these pictures and reading your blog gives me something to aim for. Your RRC is very nice keep up the good work and thanks for sharing with us. I need to give mine a good cut and polish but gonna concentrate on all the oily bits first :)

I'm up here and willing to help anyone who wants to buy this. I could pick up from train station/airport ect. I'm willing to drive for someone depending where your destination is. I wouldn't want payed would be for the experience of driving the series 2. PM if want.

I have answered my own question in the fact that i have found that it is the alarm that is causing the drain. So no I need to know what my options are as with the alarm unit. I am wondering if anyone has had the same issue and what there solution was. Unplugging the aerial seems like a...

Have I???

If you unplug the aerial will the key fob work?

Ok will try it with the aerial removed. The battery is not the best but want to get the drain fixed before I replace it so the new battery has a chance.

Anybody? Any ideas as i think it might be expensive for a new alarm module?

Hi I've got an annoying battery drain that kills my battery after a few day's. I've been searching to see if anyone had a problem specific to mine but cant find anything. My Rangerover is 1994 Softdash 3.9 with one button alarm fob. Last night i checked with amp meter inbetween battery...
