Up for sale... anyone interested? And last but not least, George, the other halfs seriesIIa... looking a little less complete now than it did here!

superb!!! I can't see my screen now 'cos i'm cryin!!!

Who you tryin to kid!!!!

LOL... I need a trade account with that nice Mr. WD40!!! Fisha, bet you wish your engine bay was as pristine as mine tho!!!

Musta missed that one got a clicky for it, need a good laugh!! D

eh 'up Tim, You just tryin to increase your post count or wot!!

Yeah... wot he said! Ahhh... you reminded me... I did have carbs on my old Disco many moons ago! I had that on LPG and it ran a treat, but on petrol was an absolute dog. Apparently that was because the needles run dry when you are on LPG. I later found out that the plonkers who installed my system hadn't put a vacuumy thing on to lift the pots up when on LPG which cause dthe needles to get stuck and wear out prematurely Dan

Can't really comment on carbs as I've never had them, but the people I know who do run them all complain about the same thing... setting them up. Apparently this can be a bit of a bu99er to do as you have to balance the carbs correctly, and if you don't have the tool to do it then it can be a real pain. Oh... the other thing I've just remembered about going EFI, you will need a fuel return pipe that goes back to the tank. Anybody who tells you that all the electricery is gonna make it conk out in water, don't listen to 'em! As long as the ECU doesn't get drowned all should be fine and dandy! Dan

Oh yes... its possible. Fridge would probably tell you it's easy, but then I ain't as clever as him! Whip off the carb intel manifold, bolt on the EFI manifold and flem chamber and all the 'lectrical buggins that goes with it and job done. You then just need to wire it up! This is where the fun starts, but if you can get the loom with the injection gear, then AFAIK all you do is give it some power. The only thing I can think of is that the heads on EFI motors have a small cut out on the inlet port where the injectors fit. It's only a teeezy weenzy half moon shape, but it has to be in the right place obviously! I've heard that some people have just taken a file to the heads to make the injectors fit. Oh... and the other thing, you'll need a high pressure fuel pump instead of them facet pumps that bolt on the rear outrigger. Errrr..... think that it tho. Oh... and the benefits... slightly better fuel economy, more power, if you go Megasquirt instead of Lucas ECU, then you can set the fuel map as you want it too. I've gone Megasquirt simply 'cos I like all the guages that get displayed on the laptop screen... Well bling! B)

Afternoon every-blinkin' body... Formal introduction for those that I haven't met... This is Dan signing in! Good to see so many names I recognise, hopefully we can continue the good stuff what went so bizarrely wrong "over there". D

Not sure if this will be any help to ya, but a bit of fine adjustment to the actuator may be needed here, and no, I'm not talking about the usual fine adjustment that involves the use of the biggest hammer you can find!! IIRC it's held in by 2 screws and has a small amount of "adjustability" by moving the actuator... loosen them off a tad and slide the actuator back towards the door latch a tad. Luckily this doesn't involve taking any of the really annoying linkages off... Phew! Of course I could be completely wrong about this as it's a few years ago that I was playing with mine. Hope this helps

Cool... lets see if I can get it right on this forum after making a complete hash of it over on the "other side"! His (nice lookin' red one) and Hers (The other red one!) Hers His B) Hers... FOR SALE... anybody interested, drop us a PM.

Cool! Finally made it here... good to see you all! B) Noticed that the LRE forum is still there, but without the LRE banner... didn't somebody said it was going off line? One feature I miss is being able to display all posts rather than page at a time. Can this be added? Nice format tho. I once saw a website that had a BIG link on the side saying "My boss is coming", click on it and it displayed a "business looking" chart type thing... groovy idea!
