Hi guys,
We really need some urgent help with our 2.5 petrol 90 engine!!!
We got her for a good price and in fairly good condition, she had some issues but we got those sorted. Well mostly.
The problem we have is that the engine never seems to be running right. We've replaced the fuel system, most of the ignition system and refitted a Weber carb to her to replace the old knackard SU that was fitted.
Our local LR guy always seems to look down his nose at me, and the one time he did do some work on her they didn't do a very good job, plus he seems to prefer to work on diesels and newer models. I don't want to take it to the local main dealer as they'll charge a fortune. Plus i doubt they'll be able to fix it.
What i'm hoping for is that there is someone in or around the Derby area that knows about petrol engines and would be willing to come and have a quick once over of her and hopefully point us in the right direction.
We're willing to repay any help given with either beer, money or anything else needed.
We really do need some help here as we are almost coming to end of our tether, so much so that if we can't get the engine sorted soon we're thinking of cutting our losses and getting shot of her before we sink any more money into her without seeing any results.
We've had a 2.25 petrol 109, and a 3.5 V8 110 before and we love having LandRovers, and want to keep this one but that might change soon.
