Just to help, this all links in too… https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/disco-1-1991-v8-fuel-pump-electrical-wiring.394060/page-2

Yep, 160A is high, but that may be marketing. Unless you have a twin batt setup and a big winch, you won’t need that much.

Warm welcome DIY, post up the issue in the Engine sub-forum.

I kinda wonder if the ‘new’ parts available today are decent quality enough though? Something like the 123 gets past that. The plugs are certainly showing the mixture to be rich at the moment, but perhaps that is unburnt fuel from the misfire. The ignition system ‘learning’ a bit would be...

You speak a lot of sense Marjon, simple systems which are fixable ‘in the field’ is indeed the way ahead for me. I’m just a bit frustrated with the misfire at the moment, but thinking the new distributor cap and rotor will sort this. Judging by the state of the one on the engine. Standby for...

I’ll take a picture to show mine (funarrr, funarrrr). Kinda of a specialist need, RC is proper off-roading with a max of 40 kmph / 25 mph. Hence lots of cooling required!

The misfire has suddenly started, but I don’t disagree it could be the cam. Looking at changing that in the next 6 months. The engine starts and ticks over beautifully. Just bad misfire in the top third of the rev range and poor power (compared to a couple of weeks ago) plus engine running...

The car came with a set of Champions in, and a new set of 8x N9YC Champions plus a new set of 8x BPR8ES. I did a plug change to the new champions (no difference to the misfire at high revs / under load) and yesterday changed to the NGKs. It didn’t want to tick over when cold on the NGKs but...

My viscous pulls through the rad from the engine side, so the twin fans I have at the front blow air through to assist. What little air flow I get at max revs, whilst doing 10 kmph through a massive donga (oooooh, errrrrr missus) is going the same way. The best idea is a shroud on the SPAL...

£146, I have a shedload of batts already… https://www.powertoolmate.co.uk/kit-builder/milwaukee-18v/grease-gun/milwaukee-m18gg-0-18v-heavy-duty-grease-gun-body-only.htm I suspect the M12 version at £99 will do everything you need...

Love my Milwaukee M18 grease gun. Works everytime, unlike every manual one I have ever had.

Oooooo, hold on. I search for ‘spark plug’ but I have now found this old timer… https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/ngk-or-champion.95499/

I have always used NGK plugs and plug caps since running a Suzuki TS50ER (restricted, but unrestricted to 42mph back in the day). An RD125DX, a GT250, a GSX750, a ZXR750H2 and a GSXR1000K3 followed… all on NGK. Even the current Husaberg TE300 runs NGKs. The Hilux and Landcruisers don’t count...

Do we have a AI bot around?

First try with a laptop on sponsors… 😀

They seem to use hyperspark as their ignition. Love the look of the sniper 2 as a fuel injection replacement. https://www.holley.com/products/ignition/hyperspark_ignition_for_sniper_efi/

Interesting…

Discussion here on a Series 3: https://www.landyzone.co.uk/land-rover/electronic-ignition-123-vs-britpart.355918/#post-4945249 And a good (old) discussion here: https://forum.britishv8.org/read.php?6,30614,page=1 However after messing about with the standard ignition on my 3.9EFi, I wondered...
