That's cheating, I bet you got one of those fancy hydraulic car lifts too?

Is your Serengeti re-mapped? a 1.8k series Rover will do 49mpg, (300kg lighter than a hippo)

Yeah and the rest! Was the 0.15MPG from the weight saving alone with the prop removed?

Don't worry the novelty /monotony of undoing umpteen bolts will soon wear off!!

Should have used duck tape in wet weather!!

He was lucky, round my way they steal the axle stands and wooden blocks too!

Your man on Youtube is a bit nuts, but entertaining! You can never have enough boats! cars are just holes in the ground into which we pour loads of money, boats are just holes in the water :) BOAT - stands for 'Bring Out Another Thousand'

these muppets towed some more, ruined a perfectly good motor and k-series PISTONS @ 10.000RPM - YouTube Sorry OP, spamming your thread, nice pics of NZ, nice boat :)

True and I agree worth investigating if in doubt......, but even if the stat was shut, the heater matrix takes out a fair bit of heat, especially when heater fan on position 3 or 4. His rad fans didn't kick in because the system wasn't pressurising to the norm ~ 1.1 bar, the fans only come...

James, you should know this!, but for the benefit of the OP k-series manifolds run red hot when revved at standstill, no airflow over rad etc, its easy to raise temp and pressure in any engine at standstill

Yes wrong aftermarket cap!............ EDIT - it's not aftermarket but LR, the part number : PCD100160, is for a defender/other diesels?

Another one for Mad Hatter's! Ruined a perfectly good coupe, (torque steer at 1min 36sec) TOWING YOUR CAR - YouTube

Check out this k-series at 10,000rpm lol PISTONS @ 10.000RPM - YouTube

That was your problem all along, wrong cap!!!

You still wheeling dealing dodgy motors Bandit? lol Yes and No, it will fit but slightly different wiring harness and different MEMS control units. so you'll be faffing about! Additional cam sensor on later engines (different cam cover!!) plus coil packs (dizzy cap and coil on the early...

RIP David, a true gent and motoring enthusiast, missed by all on LZ and other MG-Rover forums

complain to your local authority and test centre, ask under freedom of information request the number of vehicles tested by that muppet which have failed the emissions test......and the statutory legal requirement. you need to shout a lot to get anywhere with those idiots. Your fans should...

Oh yeah, good call, name and shame the test centre! they are regulated just like the DVTA in N.I.

plastic bag tax is a bit steep these days!

Name and shame the garage, 4min at high revs is a bit excessive! caps are supposed to vent excess pressure at 1.1bar, once vented some of the spring valves don't re-seat themselves properly, try a different cap?
