My 3.9 has started to be a pain. When you try and start it, it will fire once or twice than die. If you keep cranking it will occsioanlly fire. If however you force it to start on LPG it runs fine. Has to be said it may just be out of petrol although the guage says not.. assuming it has not run...

Yep the vaporizer does have arrows to indicate flow however they will work the with them the wrong way round. In this condition it will tend to freeze up if run from cold. Coolant will still flow though it, but will not circulate fully round the vaporizer, if the coolant is sufficiently hot it...

If you like chasing faults every MOT, go ahead. In fact you can have the fully working ABS off mine! but only if you put a proper braking system back in it's place. The reason most are telling you NOOOOO.. is not because how hard it is to fit, but how hard it is to get working, and keep...

Hmm no one is listening... If this happens the Vaporiser is either getting no flow, or the flow is in reverse. If the heater is working then it's the latter (as even in parallel the vap will offer the less resistance to flow than the heater, hence so many heater problems when the vap is plumbed...

News flash, neither can the EFI sensors the Lambda probes are monumentally slow this is why normally the lookup tables in the map are set to overfuel like mad on acceleration err so you did not type this then? would you mind telling us what fuel system was between these two? AFIK it was...

well finally it allowed me to clear the codes. There were a few of them, talling a tale of terminal doom and gloom. took it for a drive expecting the return of the light.. no it has stayed off.. so it seems despite the sensor being high, it's fine.. Land rovers.. don't you just love them!

I have no way of telling any differnt? WRONG.. I have a sun DGA1800. And yeah any open loop mixer based system will never be perfect, but no less perfect than a set of SUs. You can mess about with scopes, and sensor reading till you are blue in your face, the final truth is always in the...

no its just half the price of road legal tractor fuel

Yep, except there are no weak blocks, just useless engine management. Mines still running fine on its useless mixer based open loop LPG system, returning 19 MPG as well. (that's equiv to 38 MPG cost wise, somewhat better that the tractor version). However the ABS system is FTB

I have to add to this.. decided to check the codes.. first one I got was 2-3 which will be down to the pump being disconnected while the brake pipes were bled (I know now but thought it was a good idea at the time) I cleared this.. but I now have 2-6 which is the brake light switch, which is...

I have done the brake pipes, as too far gone to consider cleaning up, now nice copper ones. However the sensor.. bloody thing will not sit in properly. If I take the swivel pin out it will push in nicley, but as I bolt it back down it rises up, and so is 5-6mm proud of where it should be...

well I spotted an error in the heading, 'best on ebay' given its not a V8 it can't and will never be!

As long as you're not 'restoring' a '72 with a CSK thats fine. As it could be seen as trying to find out how to prevent somone spotting a 2 door rung as a pre '72 in order to escape road tax

Orr.. take the swivel pin out, remove sensor and put it on the lathe... should do the trick!

Most changes from standard don;t improve much on the classic, anything that does improve it on the road results in a more drastic loss of off road performance. Spen King used to have rude words to say about lift kits as well!

I have to admit mine spends most of it's time stitting on the drive, untill the weather turns foul. Mind you it's really a slow rolling restoration becuse I like it, rather than a daily driver, but handy when things get horrible!. And yes it's pulled a few stuck cars out this week, and been on...

Why? its the same head agkest, and the same block.. the parts are the same.. I actually have one of these engines, but not in a freelander, but in a 218VVC coupe. It would be perfect for a freelander, as thanks to the VVC the torque comes in very low down, and the curve is almost flat all the...

That's the problem for me, it almost always means the end of a genuine '72 or earlier car. And quiet possibly a restorable one but they are just too lazy to do it

would be nice to know where the vac pipes should go though! if anyone with a working classic vogue SE could have a look it would be nice!

Rather than land rovers own documentaion. In the hand book it clearly states that removing the front spoiler will give you 2-3 mpg more. Although not sure what comon sence you are using.. as anything that is designed to change the airflow will increse drag. Spoliers and splitters normally...
