In an ongoing effort to lighten the pedal in my Series 2 I fitted a bearing to replace the bronze bush in the linkage. I have also converted the hydraulic line to 1/4" courtesy of an adaptor from a Series 3 clutch master cylinder. These two tweaks have lightened my pedal effort by a third.

Good Evening, What model and year is your 90? What engine is it fitted with? Need info to assist.

My experience with a Weber was slightly improved fuel consumption but with a reduced top speed. On examination, the Weber's butterfly diameter was noticeably smaller that an original Zenith or earlier Solex. I can't remember the difference in mm as it was years ago. That explains the loss of...

My tuppenceworth suggests it's circa 1974 onwards, as the earlier blocks had their engine numbers stamped behind the N/S cylinderhead on the bellhousing "hump". It's not a R/R fitment as the alloy carb inlet pipes are pointing lower behind the manifold. The thermostat housing has the bulb for a...

Where did you source your Rovergauge cable from? I've been looking for a while and the three pin plastic connector to fit the ECU loom is no longer available.

The torque converter won't let the engine stall, and I don't see your alternator contributing to your problem. I'd be examining the power steering pump seeing as its an aftermarket system, and checking the pressure relief valve. Can you take the belt off and test for stalling then? Is your idle...

Make sure that the engine stop cable if fully back to its stop on the pump when the dash knob is fully pressed home.

The P38 gaskets are thicker and last a lot longer than the thin metal ones fitted to R/R Classics. They're also easier to fit as each one fits two ports. The early ones can be a bit of a fiddle.

I have always used a 19 row cooler on the auto boxes on two Range Rover Classics over the years under advice from Ashcrofts. These were mounted vertically, in front of the main rad. I've never had a transmission oil temp issue. If your engine is getting hot while towing it's not the fault of the...

The 3.9 V8 Range Rovers had a nut and bolt device to tension the alternator belt. You might be able to adapt one for your vehicle.

The universal ones will work but from previous experience they're not as good as a piece of spigot shaft. Go gently when fitting the gearbox onto the engine. The spigot shaft doesn't have much of a taper on it and can be tricky to engage in the flywheel bush.

If the starter solenoid is not earthed it won't work.

Thanks for the comprehensive response to my query.

From looking at a spare pair of carbs that I have i may have arrived at a solution, but I'm not fully sure. The bottom of the float chamber has a pizza slice shaped depression in the bottom plate. In this, the bottom of the jet holder is situated. The bottom of each jet is orientated that fuel...

You seem to be suffering from gentle driving syndrome. The second turbo on the 4.4 doesn't really kick in until circa 3000RPM. Tickling about and driving gently is not the best way to drive diesels, especially the 4.4. Your Range Rover needs an Italian tune up. My friend who works on these...

It wouldn't be logical to have different jet sizes on each carb as it would screw up fuelling. The needles are the same in each one. There may be better info online if you search for Rover SD1 V8 threads as they had the same carbs. If you're buying kits or gaskets I'd suggest going to Burlen for...

Pour a kettle of hot water on the handbrake drum?

Find a 6 sided impact socket that closely fits over the wheel nut. Cut approx 8mm off the end of a 6mm diameter bolt. Put this piece into the groove in your wheel nut. Put the impact socket back over the wheel nut. The bolt will wedge between the groove and one of the sockets 6 "corners". Lefty...

Yes, they will pull off. One metre of hose should be enough but I'd get some extra. You'll probable find other piping needing replacement while you're in there...

You can source diesel spill pipe in most motor factors. It's shouldn't cost more than 20 quid. I would suggest replacing the whole lot. It's not difficult, although a long nosed pliers will come in handy to get hold of the awkward ones. It has been a while since I've been under the bonnet of a...
