Drove a few Rover 800 turbos and turbo tomcats back in the day when I worked in a Rover garage. They would have made a fool of a v8.

Why is the fuel pressure rising when you boost it up? Fuel pressure is mechanically controlled and should remain constant or worst case drop if you have a crap pump and high fuel demand. What could cause the fuel pressure to rise? Compression pressure leaking in to fuel rail?

I have....was the head checked/skimmed? One of the heads Ive done, the head was so bad it was beyond skimming and a second hand one from an MG car was used. Cost £80 so it was a cheap fix in the end. :)

I'm planning disco 2 instruments in my td5 converted ancient 110. Most of it is straight forward. The warning lights are led and most work in the same way as your usual warning lamps. The indicator arrows and the trailer indicator leds are the exceptions. If you are up for a bit of...

Broken wire. The brown/yellow goes from alternator to instruments. Probably nothing wrong with your old alternator.

Only the supply hose/pipe. If you can change the pipe....a decent bit of oil resistant hose....as big as the inlet of the pump/outlet of res then it'll be perfect

Cavitation --- the pump cant get enough fluid. Supply pipe not a big enough diameter, blocked pipe, restricted reservoir outlet.

Hmm no. I thought they only went in one place too. Its supposed to be in the middle so there is the same amount off movement, steering, both ways.

Maybe a dash cam set to record all the time.

they will corroded together never to come apart again.............i suppose the choice is 2 track rods + 2 trackrod ends + 1x labour vs 2 trackrod ends + 2x labour

Usually the standard replace my engine questions are met with fit the greatest engine of all time.....200tdi :)

the hand brake back plate with the shoes and everything on it, still attached to the handbrake cable comes off over the propshaft flange. 4 bolts hold it on. You wouldnt need it off to do the seal.

Ive used little ratchet straps in the past to hold tanks up.

Ive had various V8 RRcs and I doubt any made it to double digit MPG. My 90 was V8 now its a 300tdi, the 110 Csw im in the middle of a chassis change was a V8...itll be a TD5. No point in having them if they guzzle so much fuel you cant use them. :)

Must be solid gold at £995 !!!

I have a maer chassis for my 110.....so far so good.

In your first pic top right...the small hole next to the head bolt hole will be where pumped oil gets to the cylinder head. Oil in coolant would have to be from here as its under pressure greater than the coolant. All the other strange shaped holes are either coolant {pressurized when hot) or...

Oil to coolant is very rarely head gasket on any engine. If it is it can only be from the supply gallery up to the head. The oil has to be pressurized more than the coolant so it has to be pumped oil.

oil cooler ?

There should be power to the solenoid connection <-- the cable from the battery. The motor itself only get power when the solenoid clicks in.
