Well the Land Rovers been running well, even went up to Fort William from Northumberland with no major problems. We do though have one problem, cold starting! If we switch to petrol for the first start, she may or may not start, and then if I switch to LPG, it's the same problem again, when I first ...

HT lead layout
Hi Thanks for the diagram, I put the HT Leads as shown in the diagram, she now turns over, but does not start. As I had changed the rotor arm and distribution cap, I decided to put back the old set, but I'm unsure if the timing has been altered. Is it possible to alter the timing by 'just' changing ...

Firing Order
Hi yet another task to sort out. Has anyone got a diagram showing the HT layout from the cylinder head to the distribution cap for a 110 V8 County?

Thanks

Carpets
As well as replacing the gearbox and clutch, the brown carpet of my 110 V8 has seen its day. With kids, dogs and kayaks often taking a place inside her, I was wondering if anyone has had experience with refitting carpet, rubber matting, or found a cost effective method of taking care of this issue, ...
