Stage 1 V8

You referring to the 3 amigos? Probably a faulty sensor, but get someone with a Testbook and reset it, then see if they come back. They may not, in which case it was just crud data in the computer, but if they do then the testbook program can check the sensors, etc. Yes ABS TC HDC all on. Have orde...

OOPS caught out again. However my wife's series 2 disco has a dashboard full of lights indicating the purchase of a nanocom and some serious headscratching. I really miss the simplicity of a proper land rover and the fact that you can fault find with a hammer and a light bulb. So it will have to wai...

The 4.6 has bags of torque. It used to run on 205 16r wheels but it would accelerate sideways if you were showing off. The bigger wheels means it does 70mph at 2600rpm. However the speedo needs re calibrating as its displaying about 60mph. The engine runs out of puff at about 4500rpm but it has stan...

Factory V8's and general V8 conversions are starting to become increasingly popular. London has introduced an emission charge for diesel vans, trucks etc. V8's however are not affected. A clean unmolested low mileage 90 110 V8 are fetching up to 7k. Good luck happy hunting.

I bought some male plugs to suit from maplins.

It's hitting reverse. I had this on your car when I bought it. There is a bolt that clamps the reverse selector onto the shaft also attached is a spring which you have to pull against to select reverse sometimes breaks. When it happened to me the bolt had loosened and the spring had pulled the selec...

Thankyou. But I quite quickly got fiddling and tinkering with it. As the base car had been built to an excellent standard I started with the oily bits that had not been touched in the rebuild. First up was engine and gearbox. Gearbox was easy take gbox and tbox to Ashcroft who would supply a profess...

Someone mentioned exhausts recently. looks a good price

The Stage one went to a good home and a new project was required that the dear wife could easily drive. I thought I'd post a couple of pics of my new V8 Landy. Purchased from ebay and advertised as fully rebuilt on Richards chassis and new bulkhead. It was a standard Factory V8 90 which the owner ha...

Rimmers stainless are lifetime guarantee. So if it splits or cracks or the baffles get blown out they will give you a replacement part.

Rimmer Bros do a stainless steel system.

Nice Landy.

If you think about it you have made a sensible choice.

Unleaded is currently cheaper than diesel.

Petrol Land Rovers won't be subject to the London Emission Zone.


Well done to everyone on this forum is doing something for the environment.

I spoke to Allisport at the Land Rover show as I wanted a bit more cooling for my 4.6 V8 90 Def. They quoted £400 for a bespoke handbuilt aluminium radiator. Size for size Ali gives approx 30% better cooling and even more if you specify a deeper core. Oh if you order at one of the shows they will do...
