Shop around, price seems to vary ridiculously wildly. £25 on ebay: www.ebay.co.uk/itm/255186333669 & the same price from these: www.bearingshopuk.co.uk/skf-cr99125-speedi-sleeve

I've done it on my RRC one. It was quite a while ago & - so far - no leaks. Used them on other things incl the crank pulley. There was a very good 'how to' done by someone which I followed which gave the size of speedisleeve you need but unfortunately it disappeared when the photobucket started...

UCV100660 Few on ebay under 'P38 gear cable' £50ish plus p&p.

It's the 8 bar that you're interested in, you want the maximum reading after a short period of cranking. Test with all plugs out and the throttle wide open so the engine is cranking as fast as possible & there is no restriction on airflow or you won't get an accurate result. How accurate is the...

I've heard of something called a 'ballast resistor'. This might (or might not!) help to make a bit more sense of it but it sounds like the electronic distributors don't use it anyway. www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/ballast-resistor-required.176329/

It's got the 'flapper' type airflow meter which uses a flap to measure airflow as opposed to the later 'hotwire' airflow meter which uses a heated wire. I have no idea about the resistor.

If you haven't already done so fully charge the battery with a battery charger or fit a known good fully charged battery being sure to check the terminals are clean & tight. See what happens.

Did the new pulley eventually arrive or did you manage to find the problem & cancel it?

Quick look through LRcat shows the linkage on the V8 EFi Defender looks like yours. Are all the springs in the diagram on yours? https://new.lrcat.com/#!/1228/13789/14762/1164/15073 ETA. The hose in your pic looks like it's got a lot of tape wrapped round the end. Is that hose nice & tight &...

I wonder if it's worth removing the throttle cable from the car & seeing if its operation is smooth? Possibly hang it up & allow some light oil to run down inside - much the same way as oiling motorbike cables.

The cable with the silver crimp bit on it is the kickdown cable & needs adjusting as per the above or you will have issues with the operation of the kickdown. The cable with the rubber boot thing is the throttle cable. Remove the rubber hose from the front of the plenum chamber, prop open the...

Put one of the self assembly kit ones on mine years ago. Think it came from Famous Four. No issues putting it together although knowing what I know now I'd have replaced all the supplied screws with stainless steel. Be careful cutting the old frame as if you catch the glass it can shatter...

Shows it's not empty.....

Sometimes copper washers are hardened by the stamping out process they are made by. So are likely to benefit by being annealed - as mentioned above - which will soften them again. And another vote for PTFE tape!

Think they're FTC3375 M12. The 'funny shaped ones' are 12 points & need a normal 12 point ring spanner or socket. The 12 point is effectively a 'double hex' & will undo normal hex bolts but I prefer hex on hex bolts to avoid rounding off corners on good bolts & usually removing damaged ones...

Genuine parts cap & don't use the rotor arms that have the metal strip riveted to them. As above, if you did pull the rotor off without pressing down on the reluctor (the 8-point star shaped thing under the rotor) a quick check is to turn the rotor arm with your fingers until it stops & release...

If it's the Laser 2943 (same as the Machine Mart one) it will be fine on copper or kunifer but you're wasting your time if you're trying to flare steel pipe. www.lasertools.co.uk/product/2943/Flaring-Tool-10pc

Be interesting to see if that does cure the issue.
