anyone got any ribbed ones complete with stubber? I am looking for some - not paying £200 though lol, paid £20 for my last pair but sold the car

I stil love your p6 mate, if you were closer I would weld if for you!

Personally I dont like the electric fans for the very reason of that temp spike before they cut in, I prefere the gradual way a viscous fan works to keep the engine at a steady temp however and electric fan is always good to have fitted as a back up for the hottest days in heavy traffic or if...

just try a bottle of stop smoke or the like, you have nothing to loose except £4.99 and thats cheaper than the oil these days lol

well you can do both, the comma sonic and europa both have more than enough zinc and phos and its only about £11 or £12 for 5 litres the api spec is SF from memory so thats fine too so you can have a good spec oil and change it often too, your engine will love you! BTW I dont work for comma...

Re: Egine oil for P6B comma sonic 20w50 or comma europa 15w50 is only £12 for 5L and has much more than the minimum zddp and exceed the recommeneded API spec for the RV8, available from most motorfactors on online with a google search. I hope this helps

Thanks for that , its currently an 8.25:1 engine and I was hoping to boost the power a little by making it 9.25:1 with his pistons, as the much later range rover v8's were. Its one of the few range rovers still running a pre sd1 engine , which I am loving and you guys are the only people who...

I would love a set to upgrade the 8.25:1 pistons in my 1972 pre sd1 range rover engine if they are going in the bin otherwise :D Are you going to go looking for 10.5:1 pistons elsewhere?

Ahh , so the fact I have a suffix b engine (genuine LR warranty replacement) rather than a suffix A has really done me a favour then :mrgreen: I am guessing like you said that as mine is bone dry it must have a lip seal which are still readlily available. happy days :mrgreen: although to...

ahh , thanks :mrgreen:

its a landrover suffix b engine so I think that puts it at 73 or 74. so with the lipseal you speak of it has a rope seal and another rubber seal behind? sorry I know nothing about these seals. the rope seals arnt available apparently, are the lip seals? so if its a lip seal its gearbox and...

sorry to be dumb but what does the EP stand for?

Gents and ladies, I am very lucky as my rear crankshaft oil seal doesnt leak, and I gather this is rare! if it were ever to leak does anyone know if somone is doing a kit to allow neoprene or other modern seals to be fitted to the pre 76 type rover v8's? Does the crank have to come out with...

yeah they are not remote but there are plenty of cases of this being done on all rover v8s so unless like you say its an acces issue then it must be doable and can save a lot of dismantling. here we are , an excerpt from anothe conversation: Also pressure relief plunger gets scored. un screw...

another tip if you dont have the tool or want to take the dizzy out is to get a cake icing tool and fill it with vasaline, I forget how you get acces to the pump, maybe though a hole for one of the pressure sensors but then flick the starter to just turn it a bit and squeeze in some vasaline and...

well I would say one carbs worth are spot on on mine and the other have light coating of black. I will pull them again to check but I need to put some miles on it first!

any advance on biege concret ???????? :mrgreen:

couple of things gents. firsly I think that geuine landrover caps might be the way forward for you here- the quality is still good and although they arnt cheap we have had no trouble. would you like a part number? Btw we have had just as much trouble with every other make including lucas...

I have to just say , cos I am so chuffed its like a sewing machine under the bonnet, not bad for a 40 year old rover v8- I love it

if it is I am happy. I remember my mates 1994 3.9 v8 range rover with no exhaust , yes I repeat no exhaust just headers and man did that pop- all the time- especially when we finsihed another job on it late one sunday night and he went to drive home, I am not kidding I could hear him for 20...

sure was :mrgreen: the only thing I noticed and this is being anal, was after a good blatt then backing off there would be a couple of very small pops in the exhaust (not real backfires, and not out the back of the exhaust) but from memory thats normal? and I can only hear it becuase I am...

I take it back, I hadnt been round to the old girl for a about 5 or 6 weeks and yesterday I was round seeing the family. had the key in my pocket by chance so I fired her up and she came up straight away and ran well. didnt have time to take it for a run. So I went round today and she fired...

how much is the road tax each year?

good news mate , it was the same with mine,I put it round at my parents place for a few weeks and then have another look otherwise it gets you down!

interesting debate guys :P I only moved mine one turn so I think its probably ok, it could have moved more then that when it was off lol as soon as I have moved another car on and broken another for parts I will send this one back to the garage for him to try again, if it works he will have...
