Just about to pull the plugs for a look

A brief history and sorry for the long winded story, but just wanted to inform as much as possible so i can find out what i did wrong 3.9efi non serp, no cats, with mark adams tuned ECU running green resistor. The motor has been running good, yes has always been running rich New dizzy rebuilt...

marjon yes still trying to retire, locked down at the minute for the last 11 weeks, caught up on 20 years of jobs around the house, all landrovers fully operational so no excuses not getting the mudane jobs done:D:D:D:D:D Homer J, send a PM, i can point u to a man not far from you who is...

V8250 1) contacted previous supplier they dont sell motors just the full kit, also trying to get them to take a picture from one of there new kist so i get the full details of the motor 2) already attached a picture motor circled in red however not to clear to get motor model number thanks for...

anybody

It’s a long shot but have to ask, I have electric aftermarket electric windows fitted to my defender for well over three years, the passenger window stopped working and on inspection it’s the 12v electric motor, the only info I can see on the motor is a name “champion” and no other serial...

@discool that is what i did, adjusted to get the correct voltage as you said simples

Chopz sorry for the questions but i am buliding a project wagon for off roading so a discovery gearbox will mate directly to a 300tdi engine and i dont have to shorten the rear prop shaft? i dont think i need to worry about this as the gearboxes are the same over all length? the gear shift sits...

will a discovery gearbox fit into a defender 300tdi? yes i know the actual location of the gear stick will be different where it comes through the tunnel but would the rear prop shaft from the defender 300tdi still fit? is the gearbox mountings the same?

now running like a dream:):):):) 100%, fires up on the first tuen of the key set TPS back to 0.315v serviced and rebuilt my old lucas dizzy and installed re-set timing to 10 degress BTDC re-set base idle happy days until the next issue

wee update today removed the rocker cover and No1 plug rechecked timing marks TDC ok same as I had the last three times. removed the new dizzy and repositioned so the rotor arm was at the 5 oclock position. with dizzy out checked vacuum on the advance working as expected (new dizzy) checked...

Looking at my notes when i tested the TPS before i adjusted it i had 0.849v and i adjusted to 0.354v will adjust it back, with the new dizzy and see what happens when i put my foot down

Ratae thanks for the link

Kermit old dizzy had the damaged bob weights and springs will double check the timing, yes TDC on the wheel was actually TDC with the rocket cover removed, although my wagon before ran at 6 degrees BTDC

"Turn over the engine by hand with the dizzy cap until the rotor arm is pointing at roughly the 5'oclock position. That's roughly where the arm should point at tdc for number 1 cylinder. Then move the dizzy body until your ht lead running to the number 1 plug is lined up with the rotor then...

discool the TPS on my yoke has two screws when slackened i can adjust the voltage output, going to have play with the output voltages tomorrow, just seems strange that with the old distributor even with the bob weight problems it was ok

After a full upgrade and service on my V8 3.9EFI electrical system which was completed yesterday I took it for a test drive, everything was working fine except when I press the accelerator hard the engine lets say at about 50mph it appears to be running on 7 cylinders, no mis fire just loss of...

Well Marjon this can only be Mr J, i hope all is well with you and your good lady tried to send a PM but for some reason can't ??????????? PS great pictures

kev plugged her into rovergauge and the only fault was the speed sensor which i knew would appear no other faults showed up on the diagnostics, cleared and took her for a spin no issues however the speed sensor came back as expected. no worries as i am planning to fit a TD5 speedo and then run a...
