My Defender V8 appears to be running rich, based on my very limited knowledge of V8s. The old girl gets well looked after however I can smell petrol fumes at the exhaust, it’s not the most definitive way of telling if she’s running rich. I am trying to find someone who lives near me that can...

stepper was changed, but put the old one back in today doesn't make a difference, new one back in, still low idle this low idle just started a few days ago certainly do engage drive and off road in her, sorry no aircon in the yoke

The idle on my V8 has just started to idle at 400rpm, the engine doesn’t stall. 3.9efi engine What would cause this to happen just out of the blue? No major changes or any work carried out recently so what would I look for?

Does anyone have a wiring diagram for wiring a FIA kill switch that will kill the engine and also the winches which I believe is a MSA rule for extreme challenge events? The FIA kill switch is easy to wire/connect it’s the supplies to the three winches. There must be an easy way to do this? As...

Bit of an update 1) I fitted full LED headlights, complete with DRL, not cheap china but good quality headlights, these where fitted a few weeks back. 2) the two rallye 1000 spot lights HAVE 100w bulbs and are wired in such away they have maximum voltage and the voltage is not a problem, these...

Thanks lads again another bout of googling I think H2 LED bulb replacements do not exist, aye well will have to live with the dim yellow lights from the rallye spots for a little while longer:(:(:(:( seen rallye 4000 LED spot lights on fleabay at 500 quid EACH...

I have H2 blub and holders in the rallye 1000 spots as per the attached pictures I think I am p*****g in the wind as I have googled and googled but can't find any info, and the cost of new Rallye 4000 LED spots is away above me
