Cheers dude wrapping took about four attempts to get it right and wrapped in the right direction. I have as you know just replaced the whole dizzy side with electronic inc coil etc no ballast anymore, this is my third replacement of dizzy set up. I re wired the whole loom (no I’m no expert so...

Hi I will check again on the oil in the dampers and yes had them balanced not sure how well

SU’s hence I thought they would be ok

Shippers Sorry for delay they are dry mate just a bit black from only running a short period

Hi Guys Sorry for the long delay. Working and I wanted to test another thing engine bay temps. So for the last few weekends I’ve been wrapping the manifolds ffs that was a mission in itself left hand wing completely off and drivers side inner, starter motor and prop shaft and then learning the...

Hi Yes I’m using NGK always have done with rover v8’s. I cleaned them to do the test regarding the plugs being wet or dry after running however it won’t run at all at the moment it keeps cutting out ☹️

Thank you mate I will check today the plugs. However working away from sat for a couple of weeks and then revisit the Landy so I will keep you update Thanks to everyone thus far it’s been a great support

Yea I think I will take them all out and clean them as they’ve been through a lot of stop starts

Yes I had the timing done two nights ago by my mate as when I fitted the new dizzy I did it by ear and just wanted it to be perfect although when he checked it I wasn’t far off. I will check the plugs also I want to check the plugs leads with an inline light indicator just to see that it is...

Hi All Well today is different altogether. I’ve not swapped over cap or arm yet as I wanted to see how she ran cold and any difference. Not happy to run when cold so I left her for 5 mins just to get the meddle to move. Off I went and a little ruff if you put your foot down at 2000rpm it...

Hi Yes I will check not sure how it’s causing the problem but I have about three spare new arms and caps from all the changes I’ve kept making to the ignition system hence buying a new complete kit.

I will try in the morning

I’ve tried both ways it will always start but the longer I wait the further it will go

I’ve got an in-line spark plug light I will pop it on and check

I must add originally last summer when I was running her in, of course very light on pedal and no more then 2000rpm at around 250miles thats when on 10-25mile journey it would cut out sit around for ten mins and back on with the journey, hence the thought of under bonnet heat and fuel vaporizing...

Shall I take a temp reading?

I will be wrapping the exhaust manifolds to keep on top of the heat for the warmer summer months

Hi No sealant as it is a composite one and it had only been down for 200 miles and I had the block skimmed when I rebuilt the engine

Driving along that is not parked up you can rev as much as you like then.

Hi Yes it gets very warm underneath. It’s ok just running with bonnet up or down it’s when you push on the loud pedal it shows up straight away if you kept it at 1500-2000 rpm with very light pedal it will go for longer
