nothing like sticking to tradition!!!

I'm not an expert, they'll be along shortly, but when I took my plenum off to give her a clean and change the rocker gaskets I also replaced a gasket on the water jacket (ERR1262) So in the hope its not expensive, firstly id whip the plenum off and see if water ingress is visible and check...

got my paint ready to do mine, as it happens I also renewed my insurance this weekend with swiftcover. Mentioned to them my plans to change colour and they when I do they wont cover any colour change!! guess I'll be shopping around when I do it. what difference will colour make? Nice job by...

cracking job, thought my dashboard was bad enough, this is inspiring.

exactly what i was gonna say, OP you asked, redhand answered yet you still want to complicate the issue with circuits,scopes and crap. If you already done it on a rice catcher then try it on a disco. As redhand has already told you the signal is from the shaft rotation in the box, not wheels...

if I keep checking this thread I'll go blind.......:monitor_punch:

i stuck rounds one up, safari 3000 off my Freebie. Looked gash in my opinion, so went for the obligatry rectangular ones.

oops see you already parted with the cash!! glad its done, but bloody hell thats a lot of wonga.

comes with woodruff key, although some of us on here have deduced that its not required if you didnt have one in the first place, search for thread. comes with new stretch bolt too. dont reuse old one. Get a new belt tensioner too whilst its all off, couple a quid extra but saves doing it again...

did mine last year, exactly the same noises and dust. 15 min job with an air gun. 99 quid for pulley off the bay of E. no problem since. it can and does fail, so independent is not correct. it does need a stage torque up as per haynes manual.

well, I'm more of a mongrel, southampton born, redditch grown up, 10 yrs army, now live cardiff, they needed some English meat........

All good,mate dont wanna hijack thread or spam!! so book in the SWLRC website below and have a catch up, they on facebook too now.

Im in cardiff too, member of south wales land rover club as well. couple of us have v8's My knowledge of them could be written on the dry bit of a disco carpet, but its a learning curve mate! anyway, if you do have a 3.5, or 3.9 with a 14cux ecu then gimme a shout, Ive got a ecu reader that...

:D:D:D:D Thanks, no one ever said that before!!!

trust me they're not all bad. Most owners on here have done some eye watering work on theirs, at home with advice from here and a halfrauds tool kit. Get it, send us pics, polish it (if you really have to!!) and get amongst the lads in here. Owning one is an instant mechanical apprenticeship...

reading this forum like all "make" forums are all full of problems, thats what they're here for. Regardless of model, but they will save you thousands on fixing it, parts upgrades and priceless advice. Test drive it, check temp gauge, listen for noises, reverse it and make sure theres no...

I dont have to drive it, pay for it, fix it or ask should I or shouldnt I? Do you want it?

I seen bits of them falling off down the road..........

Failing that, sand blast the block of the ole V8 get some loverly glass and make a coffee table for the front room, Id love one. I'd call it an alter though, I say a prayer everytime I start mine!!!!!!!
