    Double Cab pickup rear canopy / hardtop, Options??

    Quite.... It seems crazy that id be cheaper to buy an old 88" roof and sides, cut it up, paint it and fit it? Looks like this is the way forward - who's done it and how much of a job is it??? Jock

    Winch

    Had a Husky on my 101, replaced it with a Warn 8274 and also had a Superwinch EP9 on the back. The Husky has a good reputation, but its slow, and loses much of its input power to frictional losses in the worm and wheel drive. Reliable but to be honest, crap compared other units. The 8274...

    Double Cab pickup rear canopy / hardtop, Options??

    So. I've bitten the bullet and bought a nice double cab TDCi pickup, fitted with a rear canvas tilt. Looks good, but it leaks a little and offers no security and is a bit unpractical. So, I want a hard top. Forget Ifor Williams - it's not a sheep taxi. Trouble is, everything else is...

    3.9 V8 running rich...?

    Yepo' I did...... ....but, tonight I've been out with a multimeter again and was checking the lambda wiring. All seemed okay till I turned on the ignition when the feed went to zero volts :eek: - so. It turns out that the relay fitted to this part of the loom is the wrong type and that it...

    3.9 V8 running rich...?

    Right guys.... Got the 3.9 V8 in my 101 with a 14CUX Efi setup and 3.5 ECU. It's got (new) lambdas too as the setup was originally on a 4.2 LSE (tried the 4.2 ecu with same results but it drains the battery) Done about 1000 miles since fitting but getting fairly poor economy, black...

    Running a 4.2ECU on a 3.9 engine..?

    Right, 200 odd miles again yesterday, still stinking rich at idle - exhaust is sooty black and fuel economy not as good as I would like. The temp sender has been swapped but has made no difference. Just a thought.....when I put this EFI kit on it was running MUCH too rich, to the point it...

    Missing bits of wiring loom....

    Second opinion needed - is this the connector? Do I need to buy the whole damned thing? Simtek (UK) - For All Your Automotive Connectors

    Missing bits of wiring loom....

    So I've fitted the EFI top end and loom to my 3.9 in the 101 but most of the little metal clips on the connectors are missing. There's nowt holding the connectors onto the injectors etc. Where can I get these from?? Has anyone got some spares?? Jock

    Running a 4.2ECU on a 3.9 engine..?

    Right, new sender fitted but not fully tested. Also found that the crankcase ventilation restrictor which feeds into the plenum at the front was blocked up solid. Cleaned that too. Still smells a bit rich at idle after a short run..... It'll get a couple hundred miles this weekend so...

    Running a 4.2ECU on a 3.9 engine..?

    Right. 500 miles last week weekend, fuel economy not as good as I would like so swapped the 3.5 ecu into it (don't have a 3.9!)' made no difference. It's running rich, black exhaust, high idle and stinking. Checked MAF - 300 ohms, cleaned the wires etc then cleaned the stepper motor. No...

    Running a 4.2ECU on a 3.9 engine..?

    Yepo.... Seems to be running okay - timing is set for gas (now removed) and there's a wee bit of flutter when accelerating. Idle is rubbish - runs badly for a few seconds then dies. Think it's got an air leak tho. Will fettle and report back. Exhaust smells okay....
