I bought an altenator from Dingo Croft in High Wycombe, Lucas Electrik it says on the label. Baring failed after 3 months, cheap Chinese crap. Had the old one refurbished for £20 & he re-built it as watched using an English baring from the same company that supplied Land Rover in the old...

Good idea, i'll do that, do you use Famous Four for parts, I've found them very helpful, so I buy there with confidence.

I was just looking at RPi's A&R Power amp, maybe the spark ive got isn't strong enough, I'll see what happens when I've put a new timing chain on & re-timed it by hand.

Yep, I think so, I rang Andy at Famous Four today & gave him the etc number on the dizzy & he thinks its from a 4.2 lump. She's been off the road for a month now after I put new head gaskets on & had the heads skimmed, but that's all, even with a snap on diagnostic unit I didn't get an...

Not even a cough, no backfire or a slutter. Me thinks it a dizzy problem, ie, timing.

Oh, your name rings a bell, were you a soux

Yeah, but a bitch to sort out when it wont start, even with easy start sprayed over the air rams, pulling the lump out on Saturday to strip it down & start again. She's great, but just like a woman, always has the last word.....Don't care, not starting..

Yeah, that starts with 35, oh & I found out that she served with the SAS in NI, loads of extra relays & empty wires under the bonnet, she quick too, but great on juice.

Hi James, I also snapped a head bolt when putting the heads back on, 28 new ones, the back of the block has SV stamped on it, so would that be why its had a lump change ?

Hi guys, gals & others, Engine numbers, my 87' Rangie 3.5 EFI has an eng no: starting with 25D, BUT, the block is stamped 35D. What's the difference. Laugh, they 'avent put a tax on it yet !!!!

OK.

Yeah wammers that's where im starting from & working forward. Takes time but its gotta be done.

the first two books are already in the dustbin, but the '86- '89 is what im after only IF the wireing diagrams are in colour or show the colour. Many thanks pwood999.

Yeah pete, flapper's ok next is fuel pump relay, but starting with any loose connections first then onto all the relays.

Thanks Paul, oh, & I am using a smaller hammer, less damage !

Yep, that's on list to cross off, thanks wammers

Does anyone have the holly grail of '87 range rover efi's, an engine wireing diagram IN COLOUR, ive tried calling god but shes out of the office helping the PM !!!!!!!! Any help as to why she turns over fine but no vapours getting to the injectors will be greatfully accepted.

Adam, I made my own getta offa tool, 17" x 1/8" x 1/2" bar with a bolt hole drilled at one end, it's long enough to rest on the chassis, then tap the big water pump nut to the right & hey presto. job done. cost. nothing. used a momkey wrench & small hammer. thanks for the info mate, you put...

You helped a guy called marcleve in 2013. another web site, I think ive got the same problem, electrical.!

Yeah, no problem pete, give me your address & i'll post it. Free of charge, I can make loads more super cheap. As I said, ive had the heads skimmed,£60 the pair, expencive I know, re-cored rad, double tube thickness & all new top & bottom plate's,£370, new water pump & chain, stripped down to...
