    Classic Whats this for?

    On the drivers side of the plenum there are 3 vacuum connections, one for the brake servo and one to the extra air valve but whats the one in the middle for? 1986 RR Vogue EFi, I've replaced all the other vacuum hoses but can't find what this one is for. Also the stub on top of the throttle...

    Lost brake prv :-(

    Hi all, when I stripped my old RR for parts I seem to have lost the brake pressure reducing valve and now I'm building a hybrid I need another one, I can remember it was small cylindrical device in the brake line but the diagram I have for the '86 model shows a different device with 5 ports so...

    Classic Wiring diagram needed '86/'87?

    The beast lives! replaced all 3 diodes and the fusible resistor, fitted a new set of plugs and she fired up first turn of the key then settled to an idle with power to the fuel pump as it should be, success at last! So on with the next items on the to do list, I'm sure I'll be back before too...

    Defender Brake Pedal box in a 2a/3 ?

    All the parts came out of my old D reg RR vogue efi I think it’s a 10 inch servo. Haven’t mount the mc or plumbed in the brakes yet been sorting electrics on the efi to get it running properly. Might need to do a bit tweaking with the pedals yet as they re a bit high at the mo Graham

    Classic Wiring diagram needed '86/'87?

    Hi Yes it's the red one, somehow the fuel pump relay had got water in it and was a ball of rust inside must have shorted out and blown the diode pack and the fusible resistor, I've found replacements on line so will be doing some fidly soldering once they arrive, deep joy! I stole a manual for...

    Classic Wiring diagram needed '86/'87?

    All good now, new cam and followers, new rings, new b/e shells, new valves and a good clean up of the head. Anyway spent a bit of time this afternoon going through the AFM and thankfully it all tested perfect all readings in spec so at least I can rule that out, after much head scratching did a...

    Classic Wiring diagram needed '86/'87?

    Hi I've done my best printing them off but the wire colours are mostly too blurred to make out as are the numbers for the ECU terminals, I've figured out what most of the relevant ones are so will do some testing between the snow showers! I did some blind testing yesterday on the AFM and got 12v...

    Series 2 Mounting Series 2A headlights

    Thanks for the suggestion but I don't think they'll work, can't believe the Chinese haven't started knocking out the LR ones as they make copies of just about anything these days, how come the Lucas sets are only for the earlier 2A's were there not many later 2A's made I suppose not as the...

    Classic Wiring diagram needed '86/'87?

    Hopefully I can get a print of those diagrams as they look like what I need, which book is that? Yes the old RR ran it was our daily driver before the chassi crumbled to dust! I think a PO had been launching boats into the sea, I remember my local LR expert saying it was the worst chassis rot...

    Series 2 Mounting Series 2A headlights

    Checked them out, 28 dollars each plus shipping and vat so probably well over 100 quid by the time they get to me so I'll have a go at fixing mine first unless you know anyone heading over to the states in the near future? Graham

    Series 2 Mounting Series 2A headlights

    Exactly what I need, I'm going to see if I can make a reinforcement ring and silver solder it to the back of my rings, it will be a bit of a fiddle but will only cost my time :-)

    Series 2 Mounting Series 2A headlights

    Next question getting close to the end, I think! of my 2A/RR hybrid and I'm at the headlight stage, mine is a '68 one of the last with the headlights in the radiator panel and the back ring in which the light unit sits is rotten, apparently these are made of unobtainium. I was assured by the man...

    LR/RR Hybrid cooling

    On mine the bottom hose connection is straight, facing back towards the engine and like I said is in direct line with the fan belt for the water pump :-( I have seen pictures of series rad where the bottom connection is an elbow facing out to the offside so maybe there are different versions out...
