would have been a chance to get these into the block : http://www.westwoodtrading.co.uk/catalogue.asp?id=Rover%20V8%20Flanged%20Liner Costs for purchasing them and machining the block are high. But the result is a block which cannot drop a liner and the head gasket will safely seal it. I...

That?s interesting. So you choose them for availability and price ? Do you know of any that offer a little more flow (about 15-20%) ?

MSD Ignition 8548 = $279.95 - - - - - - - - - EDIS-8 kit = 85 pounds roughly 100$ (scrapyard-search in Ford V8?s will save money). trigger wheel http://trigger-wheels.com/store/index1.html = 35pounds = roughly 50$ in addition you?ll need a Megajolt - Ecu if you would just want to control...

Hi there, Mustang injectors sounds interesting - but AFAICS what they can offer is nothing but a different flow rate. The Rover-Injectors are regarded as being relatively small so I guess the Mustang one´s are bigger. If you can tune the ECU then all is fine. If not (like with OEM Ecu) you´ll...

Hi, about books: this one is made by Rover http://www.amazon.com/Rover-3-5-4-6-Overhaul-Workshop-Manual/dp/1855205289/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1230978227&sr=8-3 it?s not too user friendly but fort hat price it?s a good backup. All the data?s in there. The official Workshop manuals do...

Hi Cambo, it is a good idea (once you decided to get rid of ABS) to take a pair of Defender-Front-Callipers and drop them onto the front axle. No more. These callipers offer 25% (IIRC) mor hydraulik power. There is a minimal longer pedal travel but that?s hardly to be noticed (if at all)...

Hi there, I feel that a Defender has brakes with more power than my RRC. Would make sense as the Defender is designed to wear bigger tires. As far as I can see two things make a difference : 1) brake calipers (they do have a different part number and I think the pistons have another Part...

Hi there, i have this idea: front axle: using shock turrets from the Disco II on my Range Classic. Then making a simple bracket to accept "eye-mounted" shocks instead of the "stud-mounted" originals. rear axle: using the same bracket to have an "eye-mount" at the axle as well. Well, many...

BTW: how did you (who swapped for the LT230) deal with: 1) the cubby box, mine is designed for the B/W so that the high/low lever cannot be moved far enough left/right to lock the center diff. The cubby box is broken and will be replaced by one from a 3.5RRC. But, is there another way ? 2)...

I think there must me people who recondition the B/W. In GB there are www.ashcroft-transmissions.co.uk They sell the Viscounit. A reconditioned one should be much cheaper than buying all the parts new (the reconditioned box not necessarily will be better or stronger than one overhauled by...

not to be mixed up with the hydraulic rams of the Disco II (that are used to prevent the lean in fast cornering). But they are only additions to a otherwise "conventional" suspension/springs - may they be air springs or coils

Hi Alex, Tractech does not recommend the TrueTrac lockers for tire sizes about the 7.50-16. Maybe the leverage of the big 35" is too much for it to handle and makes it slip.

Hi there, I?ve been looking in improving the turning circle of my RRC (suffered "slightly" with 265/75-16). Aftermarket suppliers offer spacers which give a wider (3cm or 2.3") track behind each wheel. Is anybody using these? Can you recommend them ? How severe were probems with the...

Stuck with the metal sunroof - sadly this applies to me, too. But - it should be possible to change the complete roof panel.

Hi, I?m afraid I can?t give the answer to your question. Rather curious myself. Why on earth does nobody answer ??? Do you have any news in that matter ? Hendrik

Hi, (nice pics at the above link. Is it 35" the white Range rides on ?) my RRC runs on 265/75-16. Modest size, somehow. Sadly the turning circle is much worse than with the standard 205R16. IS anybody using a standard-Rover-backspacing wheel with a wide(r) tire, too? If, do you simply accept...

Hi there, a friend of mine (his 110", resp.) suffers from a leaking valve. The one that sits in the engine bay on the r/h footwell and divides the brakelines into ones going to the front or rear. He has a 110" with drum brakes rear. Seems like this valve is a...
