I had similar problems sourcing service parts for the Mazda SL35 fitted to my RRC. The Mazda and Nissan diesel conversions were very popular in the 90's. They were also both fitted to many forklifts so finding gaskets and internals should not be a big problem. You could research if Motor &...

Make sure that the stop lever on the fuel pump is fully returning to its rest position after you release the pull stop lever on the steering column to kill the engine.

If you're proceeding with this conversion I would also recommend modifying the 4HP22 autobox to lock up the torque converter clutch at 45MPH like the earlier Range Rover Classics compared to 55MPH like the later ones. From memory it involves changing a spring in the valve block. It makes a huge...

The bellhousing from a Disco/RRC is quite long compared to 90/110, so you could run into issues having to shorten your rear prop, and find a longer one for the front..

A friend of mine has a diesel Series 3 which had been fitted with an alternator from a Suzuki Vitara 2.0 diesel. It has a proper mechanical vacuum pump built into its rear housing to feed the servo. The only conversion work needed was to give it an oil feed line via a T piece from the filter head.

I second the reference to your Land Rover as a "truck". I'm not angry, just disappointed.......

It sounds like your engine is running on its own oil, which can lead to a runaway engine from what you describe. This can lead to complete engine destruction and also it's a fire risk. Either your turbo seals are leaking oil into the engine's air inlet or your valve stem oil seals are no longer...

I second Tottot's suggestion as it has happened to me before. There is a thin steel cover at the front end of the transfer casing, just above the front prop flange. This protects the 4wd selector rods as they move back and forth as and when 4wd is needed. Either the cover's front face has...

The best help to reduce a smokey diesel here in Ireland is to add Dipetane to your fuel tank. You will find it in many motor factors. It has worked well in my 25 years working on diesel engines.

The rear upper hatch lock/handle is attached with 2 screws from the inside of the vehicle. You can undo these from the inside and simply remove the outer handle. Have an assistant outside to catch the handle as it can fall off! Then just insert a screwdriver into the hole in the tailgate to...

Is your Range Rover converted to run on veg oil or it is a stock engine?

If it's not too late I would advise not using a CB master cylinder ( the one with the large hex plug at its rear end). The CB master cylinder has what's called a residual pressure valve built into it, behind that hex plug. It's designed to keep a small amount of line pressure in the brakes when...

I don't know what fluid reservoir you're using but if it's the round plastic ZF type it has a filter gauze inside it. If this gets blocked it can lead to your pump sucking air as it can't receive a supply of clean fluid.

BP5ES-11 is the same plug but is gapped from the factory to 1.1mm (44 thou in old money). You might need to adjust the gap to your engine's spec which is easy to do.

I suspect your RRC VM diesel engine is very similar to the ones fitted to Jeep Cherokees from the early 1990's. Food for thought...

I've had a 3.5 in my Series 2 for over 20 years and have never had an overheating issue. I have a standard Series 3 radiator, with an 88°C thermostat and an electric fan from a Citroen BX diesel, mounted in front of the rad. My engine is fitted with the thermostat housing off a 3.9 Range Rover...
