Slave cilinder replacement is done by undoing the 2 bolts and the pipe. Nothing more nothing less :) I'd recommend to see the workshop manual. This tells you step by step how to do it. Even with pictures/drawings.. I order my parts just here in the Netherlands, but I guess ordering from craddocks et...

Is the reservoir on the master cilinder empty? 99% sure it's either one of the clutch cilinders itself. Change it for a new one. (Caution: Don't use shitty aftermarket ones, they are likely to start leaking again after a year or so) Should be fine within a matter of time. The bleeding takes more tim...

First of all, welcome to the club! :lol:

If I was you I'd give it a full service before doing something else. This way you can get to know your car is it is. Then the improvement plans come automatically :lol:

Michael, The difference with this ignition is that it's fully electronical. Even the (normally mechanical) centrifugal timing advance is pre programmed. With the ignition you get a small book with practical tips as well as a table with all caracteristics. The standard is 8 degrees of advance timing....

Bloody timing keeps you from having fun every time. But not anymore for me.. I installed an electronic ignition from 123ignition. With this you are able to select 16 different timing curves. Especially for 100% LPG drivers like us it's the best thing you could ever buy for your rover v8 in my opinio...

Sure did some work there! The power issue shouldn't be too hard to get over I think.. I had exactly the same untill I changed the old evaporator for a new OMVL Super. After that changed my old (already electronic) for a brand new one with tunable advance timing curve etc. The engine now idles as smo...

....and also installing a snorkel. Going to be a bit of a challenge, but will be interesting to see how it goes. Same problem here.. My car is lhd so I'd rather have the snorkel at the right hand side. Due to the blower intake etc there is no place at all to get the hose to fit on the snorkel pipe....

For filling oil on difficult places I have changed some olf fire extinguishers. Empty the damn thing, create something in it with a piece of thin pipe to go to the bottom and with a connection to a piece of hose on the exit, then a small ball valve and then a flexible piece of pipe (like on an oil c...

Especially the place and way to mount the airfilter :) I copied that from you. I had to finish it a bit faster then I would have liked, but my other car (damn fiat panda) broke down and I have to get to work somehow. Have got to tidy it up some more, but first I have to get APK (dutch MOT) on it Tue...
