Can't help with the colour but having used Martrim for a kit for my Classic headlining (normal grey) I can recommend them. There's a couple of how-to's on LZ which would be worth you looking for. Be sure all traces of the old foam are removed from your backers, it's the foam of the material...

What happens when you fit a known good fully charged battery? Have you fully charged your existing battery with a battery charger?

Pity. You could try taking the box off - you're going to have to do that anyway if you're going to fit a replacement so nothing to lose - & doing it like the video using a blunt screwdriver to get the outer lip in.

Common for the area of the shaft that the seal seals against to be worn and/or pitted. Mine had the black seal which I replaced with the blue one plus I speedi-sleeved the shaft. No issues since & it was several years ago. There WAS a very good 'how to' that someone had done which I followed &...

It's VERY tight. Last time I had mine off I started with an air rattle gun - not a hope. Didn't help that the compressor's only got a small tank so it was a quick blast before the pressure dropped. Finished up doing it the old way by jamming the flywheel starter ring with a piece of angle iron...

As far as the metalwork of the car is concerned, there are a number of companies that do replacement panelling. Easy On Panels for Land Rover & Range Rover from Froggatts Land Rover & 4x4 Specialists Home - YRM Metal Solutions (yrmit.co.uk)

The 4CU doesn't do anything with the ignition, just the fuelling & basically controls the amount of time the injectors open. They open in banks of 4, not individually. On LPG I don't even need the ECU connected & that's proven handy as a diagnostic tool - if it runs badly on petrol but fine on...

Probably easier on the bench. You need to keep pressure on the seal as the lip goes in or it'll just keep popping out again & I think upside down under the car makes it more difficult. Be interesting to know how your mechanic goes about it. I just can't remember whether I did mine in situ.

Another thought. If you have a short piece of tube the same diameter as the hole the seal's going into you could try pushing the seal into that then offering it up to the hole & using another piece of tube to push the seal out of the tube into the hole. Similar sort of idea to a piston ring...

I take it you finally managed to get the circlip out :) Been a while since I did mine (used the blue seal & I'd used a speedisleeve on the shaft) & I've forgotten if there were any issues so you might find this of interest. He uses a screwdriver to get the outer lip in which I suspect is the...

That's an electronic dizzy - as in doesn't use points - and that's the amplifier on the side. The coil is on the n/s panels above the wheel. Can suffer from the amp getting too hot which leads to failure of the amp. LR did a kit to remotely mount the amp with the coil. The slightly earlier one...

Where you said. Chassis number should also be stamped on the front offside of the chassis by the suspension mounting & the steering box bolts.

Lrcat says the head bolts are all 7/16UNC. Lrcat

Probably get a better seal using grub screws - look better too:) Once you've got the thread size have a look on ebay. Assuming it's nothing exotic you'll probably get the set for the price LR want for one!

It's the 'Pulsair' system. This is as good a description as any: www.fordforums.com/threads/v8-pulsair-system.14910 Land Rover did blanking plugs to remove it. ETC6474. Famous Four do/did a set which are just a set of grub screws. No idea as to the size, but if you remove one of your pipes...

Rotor arm of the moulded in strip variety & not the riveted on strip type? This style: Lucas 35D V8 Rotor Arm Red with Powermax Technology (simonbbc.com) Not this type: MGB V8 ROTOR ARM GRA2133 (mgbhive.co.uk) Although I'd be inclined to think you'd have a misfire all the time if it was faulty...

The early EFis had the amp under the coil on the l/h inner wing. Later ones had it mounted on the side of the dizzy & affected by heat to the extent that LR came up with a kit to remotely mount it.

Must admit I was. But I had several 4CUs with different part number stickers on & that was what they came up with. It also went against this, who say they did notice a difference: Rover SD1 Efi Electronic Control Unit (ECU) (vintagemodelairplane.com) Lot of info on that site. Should keep you...
