A rev counter is a possibility.... It does already have a large Jaeger rev counter in the other instrument hole to show engine revs, but I am wondering if this drive cable was for a rev counter for a dynamo or alternator? Reason I say that is that there is a large, long redundant, control box on...

Yeah, it's bugging me too! Here are some more close up pictures - you can see the square drive end on the end of the cable. As said, it terminates (looks like it has been cut off maybe?) in front of the radiator, near the top and there is nothing in that region it could have terminated into...

Thanks for the welcome :) It does seem to be generally unmolested, which certainly appeals to me. I agree on the chequer plate on the wings - not to my taste either and I will be investigating the viability of removing it! A Heritage Certificate is a good idea, I'll look into that. I have...

Allow me to introduce myself and my new Land Rover :) a 1962 Series 2a 88" . This has been a loooong time coming, having not been particularly searching for an old Landy, but is a hugely welcome addition to the fleet. I will confess I absolutely love it! Much more so than I thought I would...

No problems with it starting, starts on the button hot or cold and settles to a normal idle - MoT test didn't show any emissions concerns either. I had previously considered swapped plugs on fuel and coolant temp sensors, so checked that again recently at the ECU and they are wired correctly...

Yes. Had a new set of leads, new coil, new Ign. module, spark plugs, swapped the dizzy cap and rotor arm for spares - no change to symptoms. Checked spark the other day - big fat spark right up the rev range, no obvious deterioration.

Howdy, I am running a 3.5L Disco V8 in a hybrid on Hotwire injection and the bugger won't run right :( It has the correct 3.5 hotwire ECU (as fitted to a handful of early Discoveries) and the electrical values seem to check out OK. So far it has had all the sensors buzzed back to the ECU plug to...
