changed a brake light bulb and re-seated a rear indicator bulb in its holder (again)
After starting the V8 today and one carb flooding (stuck valve) again, and then it deciding not to run propper on gas when it got warm (again), I decided that as good an engine as it is (barely run in) that it's coming out asap (when I've done me Clio cambelt).
Not had a day this week when the fooking thing hasn't broken down and left me stranded without wheels so enough is bloody enough and it has to go.
The whole lot is coming out, V8 , lt85 , and worn disco box to be replaced with a 300 tdi + boxes from a 95 Disco as long as it's good when I hear it running etc at weekend.
When the V8 is running it is superb on petrol or gas but the niggling little problems with carbs, gas, and wires shorting out through crap wiring are doin my ead in.:doh:
Need to use the 110 and need to know that it will run all day without letting me down so as I've no time to fix all the problems with the V8 then it's goin.
Decided....definate....goin.
You mean the rotton as a pear one thats more rusty than the 110 (just)Wouldn't it be easier to just use the Disco? ..
You turning it the right way?
Or is it just the fan that's cack-handed thread?
we shall be doing some miles so will burn most of thatJust filled it with 80 ltrs of Diesel - and I'm very annoyed.
Bio garage shuts at 5, and couldn't get out of work in time, but I needed something in the tank for tomorrow's mammoth expedition to Wales.
Oh well, a couple of days destroying the environment, smelling disgusting, and costing me extra money isn't the end of the world
