I was curious and took of the top lid of the pump and looked at the potentiometer arm. It moves with spring tension but smooth thru out its travel. I was scratching my head a bit and wondering if the quantity adjustment inside would rectify my...

If things start to go a bit squirly it’s often best to go and have a cup of tea and/or leave it till tomorrow. Trust me I’m an eggspurt at snapping things that are generally indestructible. Even forced a bolt once but instead of the bolt shearing...

You'd know if it was me, you'd be hapoy😘

How dare you😂

These fuel pumps can get jammed inside.. If you have a mooch on the tïtsnet, you'll find videos on this pump we're they have the center accelerator axle that jams up due to misalignment or debris in the pump... Mine will occasionally lose the...

Dealing with the public is never easy, had years of that.

The job is easier than the relationships sometimes 🤬

Start by pulling those stupid plastic covers off the enigne, they only hide problems. None of my vehicles have any covers on them. You'll soon find the problem by digging and not on here my mate🫵😜

Well, after an argument and a threat of removing all the new parts on a client's vehicle I drove like a twit to get the cheque in the bank and stopped for a half at a bar to calm my aggression.. Feeling better and my land-rover is doing it's job 👌😎

"There's no screw, the accumulator just unscrews" :homer:

Absolutely.

And asking for a disaster 🤯

Yes, the sensor for the aircon fans comes on much too late at between 110 & 115C on my tests so is actually useless.

The optimum operating temperature is 95C, as the late Wammers said, normal operation is between 85 & 95C. 105C is within the normal range but is rarely reached. The dash gauge stays at mid point from 85C to 105C.

Still got a tickle in the throat from the midget gems I found in the pocket. I’m sure they weren’t all black to begin with

I do agree with that👌

I shouldn’t be allowed one. The things I’ve done to P38s would be pure sacrilege on one of them 🫣

80C from memory, the fans would run all the time set to that temperature even when RAM air made them unneccesary.

what temp is the thermostat fully open at? i'd go a couple of degrees or so above that

from my experience with the viscous on the v8.. when it started to fail, the average running temp while driving clicked up a degree or 2. swapped the viscous and it dropped back down again

Kicking in at 95C, they will be running far too often.

Not the oil guzzling one I had from neew.

The aircon fans on later models kick in from the third sensor at about 110C

Nonsense, the max normal operating temperature is 105C, I use electric cooling and the fans come on around 100C.

That is perfectly normal, the max operating temperature is 105C.

Sounds like my rr then

FWIW there's a couple of things that might be worth checking. Are you sure the dizzy pick up is working, is the air gap correct? If the pick up isn't working, the ignition amplifier won't switch. Setting the air gap for the reluctor is easy as is...

6.3 630R 😱

How many yards metres to a tank full?

It is an auto and the limiter was removed. It has had a stage 1 tune👌as for the top speed, well never find out thank god😬 I'll stick with my bus for the moment👉
