Hi mate if you still have the removable towbar for the Range Rover III is it just the swan neck part of the full jobby? Just that I dont have the frame work for it to fit to on my '05.....unless that is its factor fitted and is hiding somewhere :)

Yes have a snorkel fitted, have spun it the other way facing backwards as I think i was getting a RAM air effect! Yes rotor arm too all lucas parts, I have a complete car is spares too that was a great runner and have substituted all parts, I did have a dodgy vac advance unit but replaced that...

On my V8 the previous owner who did a bit of off roading put a ziplock freezer bag over the MAF and one over the coil, and cable tied the top and bottom. Presumably for a bit of waterproofing, I have had them off but put them back on as I thought they must be OK. However im now having a problem...

tow bar?

I've managed to sort mine now mate, I'm talking about change with a tachometer or a timing light on, you probably wouldn't Notice with no apparatus connected, anyway turned out not to be a leak but a blockage..... Done now so all good, only thing is it now magnifys other fault!! Doh!

I've been messing with my V8 for a few weeks now, also has a simliar problem but im on LPG..... So far as I have a (or had) a complete car in spares as a donor that was a good runner, I have swapped out stepper motor,AFM,Thermo sensors, bought a complete Brand New Plenum chamber with all new...

I'm trying to find out if briercliffe quarry is on or toms farm this Sunday (tomorrow). I went cowm couple of weeks ago and tong last month but I need my monthly fix since getting the v8 running nice. I don't mind goin as far as west Yorkshire and south as far as stoke. I'm in Manchester.if...

yeah, engine timing should retard shouldnt it?

OK thanks mate, so I am getting vacuum then as the brakes are working fine, just that there is no difference when I pull off the vacuum hose so its got to be a leak somewhere then right??

Do the brake servos work via the same vacuum? Still not got any vacuum at vac hose(as in when its pulled off there is no change in engine note/revs) Im gonna also pull the dizzy apart this weekend and check all the bobweights and springs etc.

Probably is what's been mentioned but worth checking if the hubs gone too, ive replaced a few in my time that lean in or out.

well I have now fitted the new plenum and had everything off and cleaned it all up, its now lovely and shiny in there, and there is definately a better response from the engine and the idle is a lot smoother, however I didnt find and split or leaking hoses and I still have no vacuum which is...

Anybody got any more ideas? Does the cruise control also work via vacuum? As just so you know tha doesn't operate either. Im about to remove the whole plenum chamber now as I have a brand new one that I won on eBay for £1.20!!

Yeah I know about the explosions easy start can give, lpg's tend not to run air boxes as a backfire can blow them to bits too! I've seen it happen! As for my problem where on the manifold am I checking for blockages? I've already had the crankcase breather and associated pipes off and cleaned...

You mention that the spark seems weak? Do you have access to the required test parameters/equipment to test the coil? Also have you changed HT leads? If so try swapping the new King Lead with the old one, its been known to get a duff lead in a new set you know. Is there any sort of smell of...

OK thanks I will check everything, already tried the easy start trick, dont think WD40 works does it as its not very combustable, I usually use Brake cleaner or easy start. Cheers

Haha I know where the vacuum pipe is, but like I say there is no vacuum from the plenum chamber itself, nor the pipe obviously. Diesel Do.......when you say trace it back to the manifold did you mean to the plenum or do you mean something else? Cheers

I have been messing with this disco for a week now just getting things fixed as i find them as it was a non runner, I now found out that the vacuum advance wasnt working so i swapped it out for one that seemed to be functioning when I sucked on it, the arm moves in and out, the old one when i...

So many question need to be answered mate, how did it come about? Was it running fine before? Has anything changed? How competent are you, can you test components? Is there fuel getting to injectors? Is there a spark? Is dizzy/rotor arm/cap genuine Lucas or ****e copy? The copy's can be no good...

Taxed and MOT for 8 months, timing was about 2 teeth out on the the camshaft so theyd never have got it running properly,**** dizzy cap and **** rotor arm,wrong routing of leads, also no fuel getting to the plenum where they had done away with the fuel filter they had squashed the hose so tight...
