Sold!

Yes, rear main and cruciform seals are new. I'm flexible on the price, and I'm willing to entertain offers.

I appreciate the feedback and discussion. I've had numerous vehicles with airbag deletions pass the safety inspection where I live without any problem. A potential buyer would need to be aware of the requirements in their state. As I said, the original steering wheel w/ driver's airbag is...

Dropped asking price to $8500.

I'm selling my 1994 Discovery SE7 5-speed (R380). 98K miles, located in Milford, NH. It apparently spent most of its life in North Carolina, and it has almost no rust. Because it's a 5-speed 14CUX truck in good condition, I've spent a lot of effort to replace parts and rebuild things. I think...

I made a strange discovery after removing the windshield glass from my '94 5-speed: several old parking stubs had collected at the forward edge of the dashboard, and they are from different locations around London and in France between 1998 and 2002. I bought this truck from North Carolina and...

Does anyone know the difference between D1830GA and D1830BA injectors? The truck I'm working on (a 1994 D90 SE) reportedly had its injectors replaced at some point in the past, and they're marked with a blue band and "D1830BA". They appear to be otherwise identical to the original Lucas...

Does anyone know when the R380 oil pump housing underwent a design change? Apparently, some of these gearboxes had a removable pump body, while others had the pump rotor run directly in a machined-out cavity in the aluminum extension housing of the gearbox. Mine is the latter (see attached...

The fuel map contains unadjusted injector pulse width values. The highlighted location in the map is actually just a closest-match display; the true initial value is a weighted average of four map locations in a 2x2 grid. This averaged value is then further adjusted by the fuel-map scale factor...

I have no plans to write a GEMS library, mainly because OBD2 systems are massively more complicated than a fuel-only system like the 14CUX. The best way to go about reversing the GEMS serial protocol would be by sniffing the traffic from a Testbook / T4. I'm a little surprised that no one has...

If you mean the 5-pin TTS connector, I'm afraid not -- British Wiring (http://www.britishwiring.com) is the only supplier I know of. Of course, you don't need to keep the original connector in the vehicle. You could cut off the TTS one and replace it with a DB9, for example.

I'm not familiar with the EAS cabling, but I would guess that it won't work with my software. The problem is that standard serial ports on a PC can't be set to 7812.5 baud, which is the speed used by the ECU. The FTDI converter works because it can set arbitrary baud rates. There's a...

Hi all, For a while now, I've been working on diagnostic software for the 14CUX. It's entirely free and open source (licensed under GPLv3), it will run on both Linux and Windows, and you can check it out here: http://code.google.com/p/rovergauge To connect to the ECU, you'll need to modify an...

Here's what I know: Most early ECUs (with the "PRC" part numbers) have the PROM soldered in place. It's only in a socket on later units -- I believe this includes all "AMR" ECUs, and I've heard that some later PRCs have socketed PROMs as well. Note that 1989 model year NAS Land Rovers used the...

Manual or automatic?

I know the locations of each of the five fuel maps stored in the PROM, although NAS ECUs do not allow fuel map selection with a tune resistor. (It's explicitly disabled in the code.) I haven't yet compared a NAS PROM image to a European/RoW image, but I plan to do that as there should be some...

For what it's worth, I think the 14CUX is a great engine-management system, principally because it's fairly simple. My vehicles have been quite reliable, and I strongly prefer a simple distributor-spark system over the hideously complicated OBD2-compliant systems such as GEMS. My credentials: I...
