Spectacularly unreliable. How can something so simple give so much trouble? All there is in it is a bimetallic strip and a couple of contacts. Tends to stick, resulting in high temperature and fuel level readings. If anyone fancies making a solid state replacement, I'll buy a few.

Not an ex British Army vehicle, but if they had them, I suppose this is how they would look: http://www.glencoyne.co.uk/storage/myk1.jpg This is one I have just finished preparing for a customer - rebuilt engine, new wiring loom, winch with front and rear mountings. The paint was already on it when ...

I made a bad mistake - thinking I could set up a Land Rover restoration business and a V8 club at the same time. The business took off a bit faster than I expected, my workshop is now booked solid into September and I am working 60-70 hours a week just trying to catch up. The result is that the club...

What you have is a 'Pulsair' air injection system, fitted to various V8s. My first Stage 1 had it. Its main function on a Stage 1 is to make access to the spark plugs more difficult. Apart from that I don't think it has any real effect, so you can safely remove it. RPI (V8 specialists in Norfolk) se...

I bought a sports exhaust system from Rimmer Bros of Lincoln to fit to a 90 V8. It was a complete system with tubular steel manifolds etc, all in stainless. Fitted beautifully and sounded fabulous. The only criticism I have is that the kit didn't include any of the rubber mounts or hangers. You also...

Something a bit special
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4619355633 Might be the oldest production Stage 1 in the UK. Remember, the first year's production went for export. And then there's this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4619459877 Nice straight unmolested Station Wa...

I'll definitely have a pair. If you win them, please let me know how much for postage to UK (surface mail is fine) and how you want to be paid. Many thanks, Richard P.S. I have thought long and hard about bringing a big pile of spares home from the breaking vehicles you mentioned a couple of weeks a...
