    Supercharger

    I have been looking at some superchargers and i was wondering what is involved in fitting one and if my 2.25 engine would be strong enough to take one?

    temprature sensor

    well, the temprature sensor has decided it wants to read full all the time no matter what, engine cold, engine hot! Is there a chance there is something shorting out. when i disconnect the sensor the gauge goes down and then i connect it up again and straight back to full?

    New Engine Goes In!

    well that 13 core cable! Think. i have; side lights, indicators, headlights washer pump, air horns :P, spot lamps, and there is few spare just incase something else wants to go in there. when we re-wired the landy we didnt think about ease of getting the engine out so we routed the wire where it...

    New Engine Goes In!

    i have a big bit of 13core cable running through that front panel and it would be a pain cuting that and putting it all back together after, that is why the engine is so high up.. and yes i do still have that cheesy grin!!

    New Engine Goes In!

    Picked up the new engine! woop. Old Engine did blow up on the way back quite Spectacularly <-- think it was because i put on the ear defenders and just floored it all the way back. New Engine now in, after a few mod's, still got problems with the clutch draging and it is using way to much...

    Clutch

    well you see it, has a series 3 box in it! what i think it is, is that the clutch plate isnt slipping up and down the shaft propperly? will the gearbox bugger if i keep using it with the clutch in this way?

    Clutch

    right i have just replaced my engine, and whilst i had the lot out i put on a new clutch. this new clutch seems to drag when i have my foot on the pedal making it difficult to select gears.. it does make a nice crunch going into reverse which it never usted to. what do you think the problem...

    Recon Engine

    right i am going to go with an engine from withams! is it difficult to fit the 12v alternator to a 24v engine? and as the engine has an oil cooler and i dont have the oil rad can i just put a bit of pipe going from the out to the in on the pump outlets?

  19. Yannis

    Engine

    series 3 1983 2.25 still loosing power

    mine series 2a 1961 had a habit of doing this, after going for about 10mins at about 65mph - 70mph it would seem to suddenly die and start to cough and splutter, i would ease off and it would run fine again. i just chaged my carb and that has sorted it. the problem was with the float level in...
