Do you have a copy of the actual specs? Otherwise download a copy of the manual from this site. Timing will effect the emissions. My car is somewhere around TDC at 'X' rpm with vac disconnected. Are you looking at a generic test reading, or the one specified for your model? If the engine hasn't run ...

Actually 10% doesn't sound too bad. I assume you have checked Rover specs as opposed to looking at a generic reading. My car is 6% + or - 1%. Erratic/high idle and possibly running lean: throttle shaft wear can be assessed by physically trying to rock the shafts from outside. The Solex has stem seal...

I know how daunting the problems can be. I still occasionally have to deal with ex USA cars and from other countries that arrive in Australia and have to get registered. The Federal system plus the State system.... Though I was always in awe at the scrap yard refugee Minis and Mokes that were being ...

So with the exception of running on unleaded petrol and a catalyst, you require an Australian specification Stage One? Air injection, EGR and evaporative loss control as standard. I understand the sealed room test. Even the slowly decomposing plastic trim effects the results. However you may well fi...

I don't see the 5000 Sterling myself, but Americans aren't always looking for what the rest of us are. If you compare it to what you can buy in Australia for under 2000 Sterling, you've still got 3000 to blow on a cosmetic tart up and get to keep all the wiring inside the dash. Especially if you are...

Download the NZ army parts list from this site. Your car probably has a custom made NZ Army affair based on a Mallory. You can however buy a choice of Mallory distributors from Mallory or their NZ agent (not played with ones) for the V8, either points or electronic. Grab any Land-Rover magazine at y...

I agree. Even if the diaphragm has died, they are otherwise simple and reliable. To go mechanical you will have to hook up a push/pull lever or cable system. Plus the adaptor to replace the diaphragm and seal the box. Something like the underslung PTO operating cable. But possibly with one cable for...
