Obviously id be better off getting a v8 rad but looking into it the 2.5 td rad is identical and cheaper so opted for one of those. Ended up getting the Y piece splitter off a 300tsi which does the same job as having the two hoses.

Hi folks, Had to replace my rad due to cheap online one splitting on top where filler plug goes. A friend sold me a 2.5 petrol rad which fits fine but now I've just installed it I've only just realised that it's got one outlet for the small hoses next to the filler plug, I'm running a 3.9efi...

No shop seems to stock any plus I asked first four and no reply tried another and they said the bumper is discontinued. A right bloody pain in the ass. As this rate I'll just make my own!

Looking for a front bumper to fit my warn 8274 to, anyone got one laying around they want to sell? Cheers

Dave, did you get through to sorting your Speedo transducer with he magnetic pickup you said about ? Does it work? Cheers Dom

Sorry I meant base idle

I have a 1988 etc 3.9efi fitted to my 90, first problem is a irratic idle. I have changed all sensors, check air gap, set timing to 8 degrees as it sounded better at that setting, set base idle correctly but it still idles slightly irratic from 750 up to 1020 can anyone shed any light? I have...

Tickover is very high and sometimes irratice, have fitted a brand new stepper motor but no cure, get a whine from the back of the plenum when not under load, and when I clamp the pipe attached to the stepper motor and throttle it stops, going to strip it all off tomorrow to have a look, One...

ive put a 3.9efi from a 1988 RRC into my v8 defender it's all running but still having idle issues, I have finally managed to adapt the speed transducer cable to fit and so the speedo cable, only thing is when I tested it while moving it was hovering around 7-8volts and only Fluctuated around...

Ahhh ****, i think i may have missed out the bush, or did i, **** i cant remember haha, what will happen if i havent fitted it?

Its alive!! Thank god. Found a earth missing for the ecu and the one wire into the coil had managed to break off but sit in just the right place to look like it was connected. Although not the end of problems, ive gone from a auto box to the original manual that is in my defender, as far as i...

Although not sure which if any of these that i just mentioned as inline with the coil to ecu wire

Mine has a small black resistor fitted near the ecu end and this is still plugged in, it also has the tune resistor ( the green one in the clear plastic shrink wrap bit) this is still fitted also.

I have the coil that came with the 3.9 and am using this, Question for you electrical boffs, as i am going from an auto rrc v8 to a manual, ( using the original 3.5 manual gearbox) Do i have to bypass the gear inhibitor switch and bypass the inetria switch? As i dont have these but am...

Only ones ive chacked is the pickup from the coil -ve and the earthes not sure how to test the others but will have a look at the file so frustrating!

Evening folks, Ive just swapped out my 3.5 su v8 for a 1988 rrc 3.9 efi, having a few issues getting it to run, I have fuel and have spark and continuity from the -v on coil to the ecu, but the injectors wont fire. Ive attatched all relevent ground wires from the ecu ( that have been...

haha thanks, with work going quiet and losing the gf lately this has been then only thing keeping me sane right now just tinkering away! Going to have a full day on it to orrow and go through all the wiring again to make sure everying is connected up correctly which i think it is. Will have a...

Ahh ok well i wont worry about that one then, Right so as it stands i have fuel, spark timing is correct (checked twice) Fitted new dizzy new leads and plugs and rotor arm And yet i still have no running engine. Ive checked for earth/ground wires from the ecu plug and found two that werent...

So turns out the timing was 180 degrees out but now thats sorted and checked twice still now running, tried a friends ecu and still no joy. Any ideas what this plug is for?? Only one thats loose and no idea.
