My old V8s 3.5rrc 3.9rrc ran on 20w50 never had an issue, and they ran like swiss watches. my other engines 2.25 and 2.6 engines ran on SAE 50 without issue The current tow pig 4.6 rr p38 runs on shell 10w40, changed every 5k. my old vm ran on anything i had lying around in my shed usually a...

perfek just like that!!! ;)

Just put V8 badges all over it. :):):):) the ultimate theft deterrent :eek:;)

Polishing a defender is sacrilege!! it should be covered in **** and mud!! shame on you!!!! ;)

Brillient!! :):)

I know the engines apart but.. ATF does a good job of dissolving carbon and rust in bores, i had great success with a massey harris by filling the bores with dex 3 and leaving it for 2 weeks. The thing spun over like a charm after the bath lol

kudos for the dedication!! when i was younger if a seat belt mount went or a chassis rotted through, i filled it with fiberglass filler and covered the mess in underseal :confused::confused::confused::D Gotta love a landy getting the restoration it deserves!!

nah the old 300s have a sold mass flywheel :)

Look for rot everywhere. And make sure it has oil and coolant in it :D

run it yer old landrover!! or tractor i could p i s s in the petrol tank of me old series landrover and it would run on it. :eek:o_O:D

lol

The turbos on the 2.4 do throw a hissy occasionally. i fitted a recon unit to my 89 vogue and it rattled like a ****er! so instead of dicking around with 2nd hand units i bought a rebuild kit off a land rover dealer if memory serves! it was back in 2006 lol so i don't know if the dealer...

They are quick i test drove one before buying my 4.6 p38. The only reason i didn't buy it was because of the V8 burble of the RR lol

I've had good luck with bosch batteries! I had one in a 5.3 xjs it use to sit for months and still start!! :cool:

A fast landrover!!! Pah my v8 does 0-60 in 11.2 seconds!! lol if you want slow try driving a 1983 126hp range rover 3.5 with a 3spd auto!! continental drift was faster lol 27.5 secs to 55mph :rolleyes: The diesels respond well to remap's however 18secs to 60 seems way too slow even for a...

It was my first range rover a 1974 2 door in tuscan blue with the 3.5 v8. I've done a MOT check and its listed as "sorn in place" with a 3.3 diesel which i assume is a Perkins unit? I'm also at a loss to what "sorn in place means" ?

just took my p38 on a 110mi trip to london. never missed a beat.

cheers all for your imputs :D

cheers Johnnyb70 ;):)

Is it possible to drive the p38 with the front prop removed. I've got a whining whirring noise coming from what i believe is the front axle i'm trying to narrow the noise down. i hope it ain't anyfink more serious lol
