Thanks mate that’s what I wanted to know

Thank you for all the info. Yes it’s only self centre, everything else is spot on. So castor correction bushes being cheaper is that the smart choice to see if it cures the problem

Thanks guys Great help, it was because a mechanic mate looked at it and said ‘that must drive like a pig with the angle of your axle’ I said it didn’t centre when driving and his answer was to correct the castor angle. all the parts are new and quality, haven’t checked tracking but she doesn’t...

Hi Guys and Gals Yes a topic already covered no doubt, castor correction. Rangerover classic 1978 3.5V8 2” lift on it already, drives like a pig as it doesn’t centre. Told it’s because it needs castor correction. The question Do I simply buy a full correction kit changing the bushes, or Do...

Right Guys I have some news! Had the auto sparks out (yes it didn’t stop working, took for a trip and no issues go figure) then after 10 mins running on the drive she stopped so he checked my wiring no worries there and hot wired but still having issues so not electrics. If you remember I put a...

Cheers dude yes 50th no need to remember from 45 lol. Well still all as was, however I do have an auto sparks coming now on Monday so not long to wait now I hope

Not yet I’m afraid I forgot it was my birthday weekend so not done anything yet so tomorrow I will try the spark plugs

Hi Yes it’s all rather tight in this engine bay. Also I’m using a P6 10.5 high compression v8 and I believe they run a little hotter than the 9.35cr so that wouldn’t help add to that headman headers hence wrapping them and making the heat shields now and just to say this is an old photo all the...

The replacement plugs have arrived so I will fit them to see if a plug temp can make a difference I will let you all know the outcome

Hi As I said before I find if the fans cut in just before they stay on top of the temp keeping it under control. I found if they come on at the running temp the system is always behind itself and runs a little hot that was the only reason

Yep I will try this

Hi Yes I agree it’s not good under the bonnet the whole front is filled with an aly rad with twin fans continuing blowing at 70-85 degrees hot air when up to running temp, the whole engine running at the same temp couple that with the headers. Yes I have now wrapped them and made proper heat...

Hi No only when coming up to temp I’ve set mine at 82 degrees so the system is ahead of itself

Hi I’ve got twin electric fans in front of the rad as no room for viscous

Yes my thoughts as well when I set up the viewing filter so when I can I will get a mate to watch as we can slide the bonnet off it’s hinges, a reason why I couldn’t raise it at the back however I could do the side vents on side or just vent the rear like a modem day car. Or indeed as before...

With you on this I will do everything I can before I start chopping on the bonnet.

I’ve tried both ie after fuel pump has run and also switching off immediately to shut pump off

Yes I hope with positive news if I can get it looked at just to check electrics and I also might get the chance to use an edelbrock manifold and Weber carb setup for the day to see if it’s anything to do with the fueling side. With the under bonnet heat at stand still is something I’ve been...

It can be restarted within mins as if all was ok

Does anyone know of a good mechanic that specializes in fault finding. I’m on the south coast near Findon?
