V8defender90

Hi, I have got 265/75/16 with out a lift, but they are close when the axle starts to twist.

When i did mine, there was a spare place to put the bullets into for the indicators. If you don't have them i would you butt connectors.

The ones on mine are held buy to little nuts. The wing has got three holes in. Right pain in the arse.

I have purchased a servo with a master cylinder, but the master cylinder is different to the one i currently have. I am going to do new brake lines through the vehicle but i am after some information about the cylinder. (Please view pic) Can anyone tell me what 1, 2 & 3 are???? Cheers. Matt.

Cheers for the link.

Well guys cheers for your comments. The problem is now sorted out, I just started again from scratch and set the timing to 6 degress before TDC, clamped the dissy down, done the firing order, had to change the battery as it was dying, due to me turning it over loads, checked the connections to the coil to find the fuel overrun relay was wired backwards , turned it over, job done. Now got to do loads of tidying up to do in the engine bay. Cheers again V8DEFENDER90.

So i take it that Halfords is good for somethink then..

Thanks guys for your reply's, can i just confirm that from the front of the car that the left bank is 2,4,6,8 and the right bank is 1,3,5,7

Sorry forgot to mention, It has a range rover 3.5 v8 EFI, I had changed the leads then it wouldn't start, i then realised it was the cables on the coil, so i then rewired it, can i ask what you mean by a AFM???? Cheers

Well to start off i had lost the spark from the coil to the dissy but i have now sorted that out. (wiring problems) I have replaced the dissy but didn't mark it up so what i did, was sent it up on TDC on compression stroke and then placed the dissy in, connected the leads up in the correct firing order and then turned the key. Firstly is started then cut out ????? Then checked the fuel overun relay was connected properly to the dissy. I then turned the key again, and it was trying to start until the pressure in the plenum chamber blow the intake pipe off. Any idea's guys??????? I have been working on this thing for days now and there is one thing on my mine... SCRAP IT.

Hi guys, I am trying to find a snorkel for a defender 90 v8 but i am not having much look. do you guys know where i could purchase one? a pal of mine said make it out of drain pipe but i think that a big no no. Regards Matt.

I am with lancaster and i am 22, quote come back on a v8 £296.00 comp good location. give them a try.

Hi guys, i have recently bought a v8 90. I am reading through this thread about extending tubes. does anyone have pictures of where these pipes are i have never noticed them on the vehicle. Cheers Matt. Would this kit be ok for my v8 90?

well guys thanks for all your responces. as i said before i have recently purchased the defender and i aint to familiar with the engine bay yet. So if i try the small things first such as rubbers around coil etc it would be a start. Is the any thing else i should know about v8 and water??? Regards Matt.

Hi guys, I have recently purchased a defender 90 3.5 V8 Auto & i know they arent friendly with water. I am after some help on what i should do to make it water friendly.
