They measured more or less dead short on the lowest setting.
That said i don't think it's a landy starter. At least it doesn't look the same as in the book. Tested working after a good clean anyways

The wife has had her car scraped, she was shopping in Tesco at the time, and someone drove into it while she was inside shopping, and she was parked, I got the car about 7 years ago for £2K and the insurance paid me back £2.5k so no bad she's not going to replace it she's using mine now

Well, the beast is poorly.
Replaced the O ring on the end of the fuel rail a while ago and it seemed good. Went out this week and the bloody thing is leaking again, ok so replaced said O ring with a n other, not fixed still leaking that highly flammable liquid out.
Right so closer inspection needed and have now pinned it down to the connector between the fuel rails for the regulator. So the first O ring fix was good but I must have disturbed this 1.
Just below the clamp for the pipe.
Problem now is although I can see it, and its probably only a little O ring there is not much chance of fixing in situ. So, looking for gasket material then remove the inlet plenum and probably the fuel rails to part that joint.
Think I have found somebody local for gasket material, But if anybody knows of a European supplier of sheets, please suggest.
Trying to find a TPI gasket set for a stroked SBC in Europe, so think safer to go for sheets and make me own.
But she still runs and roars stinks of petrol and not really gonna get a good MPG, if I made it to the end of the road before it went up in flames.

0.8mm gasket paper from www.carbuilder.com in 300x250mm sheet or 1m square sheet. Also do exhaust gasket sheet. Don't do head gasket material but sure I have seen advertised on classic bike or car sites in the past.Well, the beast is poorly

Not exactly "today" but this weekend was the last overnight camping trip for my club, the RoverLanders of BC. Did a short loop in the mountains 100 miles east of Vancouver. The old P38 kept up with the Defenders, D2s and LR3s once again.

Not at all kerms, if it's changed every two to three years it's works well. It's cheeper than changing physical parts.
I understood the oat stuff was corrosive to solder, in old radiators etc?Not at all kerms, if it's changed every two to three years it's works well. It's cheeper than changing physical parts.
Good point kermy, I don't know kiddo.
I don't know either, but have the attitude.. they would stop making the blue stuff if there was no need of itGood point kermy, I don't know kiddo.
