  1. I am running auto yes. I have found that 600rpm is the target idle for an auto when in gear. So if I sort the switch problem then that should sort it. I will have a look at fixing the fault properly first Micheal then see where I go from there. It’ll be out laying out for the majors this weekend so it’ll have to stay as it is for now.
  2. Throttle is fully closed, have adjusted stop as plenum is new. Have checked every hose to do with the air intake. Most other v8’s I have had have idled about 750, but I have never checked the target rpm before. I do have a fault to do with the gearbox but would that cause the target rpm to be lower?!
  3. I should also add that the stepper motor gets to the point that it’s reading 0% at 600rpm. Hence I went down the air leak route.
  4. Hi all. Firstly apologies as I’ve not been on here for so long! First time in a while and. I need some help. 😢 I have a 4.2 which I have fully rebuilt. It is running on megajolt and 14cux injection. All runs fine except the idle speed. I am monitoring everything on rover gauge and it is asking for a target idle speed of 600rpm. I have set the base idle to 540ish rpm. I have used brake cleaner to look for an air leak around the plenum and trumpet base but all is fine. I would like an idle speed more like 750. It is quite lumpy at 600!! I will try to upload a few pictures. Any help is greatly appreciated
  5. ive tightened it up but its still leaking, just wondering what seals the splines? surely there should be an oring maybe?
  6. Hi, i have done a search and could only find leaks from the o ring on the back of the hub, mine is leaking down the splines of the shaft, i found that the nut on the half shaft was loose but it does still leak, what should seal this? i was thinking of putting an oring behind the nut. have i got something missing? thanks alot. Hamish
  7. im hoping to make a tray for the winch that bolts in using the front tow point bolts and the bumper bolts and the panhard rod bracket mounts. and have a tow point within that. should work i hope. i still want to do alrc as enjoy it. wouldnt miss majors and nationals etc.
  8. thanks for all the replies, i think i will go for the champion to start with due to cost. when i biult the 80 i fitted a s1 style grille so am hoping the winch will nestle between the wings nicely. i am hoping that maybe doing trialing for as long as i have may allow me to drive abit more than i winch maybe. il have a look out for a local event and go along for a look first. i wouldnt biuld anything else i dont think as i enjoy doing the alrc events so dont fancy a full on challenge truck. but you never no!!
  9. Hi,firstly my apologies for not being on here for such a long time. Recently i have been looking at getting into challenge events with maybe MOC or midwest. What i am wondering is....Can i stick a winch on my ALRC ccv 80 and compete in class 1?? or is there more to it? and has anyone got any suggestions on which winch to start with? been looking at a champion HS 9500. any good? many thanks Hamish
  10. sorry i meant tomcat springs in the last post, not tomcat mounts as i put, i use tomcat springs on the back mines an 80 300tdi auto and its fine with them, standard 'old' disco springs on the front.
  11. hi, when i biult my 80 i was going to fit shocks with turrets but the travel is restricted by the spring seat, as the axle drops the wheel goes under the vechicle and catches the chassis or spring seat. i am running plus 5 rough country shocks with challenge mounts on pin pin fixings, with tomcat mounts. from what i understand they are fitted like this to give better damping, due to using softer springs. hope that helps
  12. i fitted the crown wheel off the p38, its narrower, and fitted fine, it doesnt wine at all, i fitted this as a cheaper way of getting myself a 4 pin, i cannot afford machining costs etc, it is not a bodge, its been in there 3 years now and has never played up at all (touching wood) the question was asked will it fit, yes it will and without spending alot of money. if you want to go to the extent of that cost that is up to you, i just used what resources i have to do it cheaply, surely that is what competition is all about, ive done everything on my 80, and and proud to say i have, it is not bodged as you put it, any one can buy a machined 4 pin. i just prefer to make the best of what i have and save money in the process. and as future reference i had biult it after reading a thread on this forum.
