Stage 1 V8

I've had a few enquiries on the overdrive linkage, will deal with them in order ... Just got to find it, I it it somewhere safe on Friday to make sure t didn't end up in the scrap skip ...can't find it now! (Even emptied the entire scrap skip to make sure it didn't end up there!)

Also got a box of overdrive bits I think we for the LT95 overdrive - synchro hubs, bearings etc - free if someone wants them

I have a few leftovers if anyone has a use for them Overdrive linkage for a stage 1 - overdrive was broken but I've kept the linkage( actually from a 110V8 but looks like is the same) Gearstick gator - nothing wrong with it, but I,lost it so bought another and now found it Handbrake lever reinforcin...

Find a few teething troubles, Big oil lack on the LH bank, seems to have been rocker cover gasket so hopefully got that one sorted. Rear diff flange leaking, will need a sleeve for the flange Lots of muck in the fuel system, but filter seems to be staying clean after 3 flushes bowls half full of muc...

Some tweaks still needed yep, Trim to go in, stickers to go on, oils to flush in a few hundred miles, old style number plates needed, roof does need adjusting now is been out and moved Engines running well and gearbox is ok ... Not used to the performance from a series, or the ride - so smooth compa...

Been out for a run today, running well now :D http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e64/landyrover/S3%20109V8/6f5ae32c6efadc07930a440f3b656890_zpsmh0cfyeu.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e64/landyrover/S3%20109V8/c1536487e42e2f569951b3b23a8013ce_zpshcgzorlq.jpg http://i37.photobucket.com/albums/e6...

Passed the MOT yesterday so all legal now :) A little tuning needed, adjustment to the brakes and steering wheel is off centre so needs moving Gearbox is noisy, I remember them being noisy in the RRC and that had lots of trim, so not sure yet whether its ok or not .... The only bit I didn't rebuild....

Nope, that's snot right If its just the crank in it should spin pretty free, a little more effort needed once its got a set of pistons Sounds like the bearing, it shouldn't be touching the crank webs. Are they a decent brand the bearings? Are they forth the right engine ? Not sure if the bottom end ...

The press photos you have posted are good enough, ill get the stickers for it

Thanks. Ill give it a go. If is not looking promising ill go for geoff's approach

Does yours look to have had a re spray? Hard to tell I know

Anyone know if all stage 1's got the Land Rover V8 stickers.
I thought they did, but the James Taylor book I have said not for the uk market

Anyone got any brochures or anything?

Almost a year on, time for another update. It lives :D For the first time in the 6 1/2 years I've had it, it moved under its own power. Engine fired straight up after sitting for 4 years since rebuild, timing set and carbs set as best I can guess and seems to run well. Until the new throttle cable e...

Thanks for that,

I actually have that parts book, still didn't think to look in there for what I thought was a standard part!
Well at least I know what I need now

Cheers

That number comes us as V8's without steering locks, its a screw in one. I think the one some suppliers are selling under the old stage 1 number are the ntc item. Well be the same problem. The ones got though was in genuine LR packet with nrc5069 on it - problem is parts book doesn't differentiate b...
