Using a bit of heat (Oxy) and a hammer does the trick if its the rim edges.

I built a 100" tomcat last year and i put the rad in the back.
I had to use a Davies craig electric water pump as i found the original water pump was not man enough to keep up.

Just picked up a 92 RRC MOT failure and i am going to use the engine and box (3.9 auto) including the EFI for my 90.
Question is what is the best or quickest way to remove them?
Would they come out as a whole unit or do i have to split them?
It also has LPG. Would i be wise and junk this or try and reuse it. The reason i ask is because i was told it is not very wise to move second hand LPG setups.

I had a simillar problem with over fueling last year and it turned out to be the fuel pressure regulator. Mine would run for about a few hundred yards then loads of smoke then stop. It cost about £30 and it was a bugger to fit as it sits betwwen the bulkhead and the rear of the engine.

so chopping a landy roof and doing all the relevant fab' work is fine but a bit of DIY is a no no
Or you do what I do and just drive in to the garage and let the car "shape" the up and over door to a nice curved profile!
I like the sound of that . a bit of destruction.
But i think the missus would have something to say about that.
I just hate doing DIY.
-
Need to find some pics of comp vehicles then i assume.
I understand there is alot of work involved.
At the end of the day i cannot make it any worse than it already is.
-
what about a different approach, like fitting a roller door, etc?
DON'T DO DIY

I've read the link and thanks for that but its not the look i want to go for.
I want to give a squated apearance if you now what i mean.
And i have to much time on my hands.
-
The head room is not an issue as i plan to mod the seatbox to compensate.
The main reason for lowering the roof is so it will fit in my garage due to an up and over door.
Plus i have never seen it done before.
I never use the vents anyway.
-
I want to lower the roof line on my 90 by removing the section that holds the air vents on the bulkhead. This is approximatly 3".
It has series doors fitted with the tops removed so thats one less problem to overcome.
At the moment it has a truck cab fitted, but i want to scource a van back and trim that down and sell the cab.
My question is has anybody done this before, and are there any pictures or information to be found.
I have trawled the internet and found nothing.
Any help would be greatly apppreciated.

Do you have all the bits you need from the auto RR? Like propshafts, oil cooler and pipes, start inhibit loom etc?
If so it should be relatively straight forward. You might want to take a close look at the transmisison tunnel though - I don't know if they are different between the manual and auto.
The gearbox mounts on the offside are different as well i think.
-
Will i be able to use the auto box?
Any ideas on the propshafts?
-
Come on guys i need a little help here.
I am sure somebody must have done this conversion.

I would like to have another setup of you but this time it will have to be the MS setup.
I would like to say to you all that Rangy Rover fitted a MJ kit to my 3M Challenger and it did make a big differance to the way it started and ran even through water. I even jetwashed the engine when i got home from a days offroading and it still ran fine.
So don't knock it till you try it.

I have just bought an old 90 on a Q plate and it has a rather large smelly perkins engine fitted.
I have a 3.9 rangerover that i am going to break for bits.
Will i have any problem fitting the V8 and auto box from the rangie into the 90?
What bits will fit and what would i need to source from other vehicles?
Does anybody now if i send the logbook in with the new engine to the dvla would i have any problems ?
Like will it have to be SVA'ed?
A ny help on this matter would be of great help.

Hi fellas
Just got a notification from paypal that roccia plastics have refunded my money pending cleared funds. The roccia website seems to have shut down so maybe he has stopped trading. Need to get some arches from some where elese now then.
-
Hi fellas
I have ordered some arches from roccia about a month ago and am still waiting.
I am getting to the point of dispair now having tried e-mail and telephone but no reply.
Annoying really because i have paid for them and they look like good arches.

Tryed shorting the connector and still did not start, so i removed the fuse to the fuel pump relay to starve it of the excess fuel and it tried to fire after a couple of turns of the ignition. Fitted the fuse back in and with a few coughs and splutters it ran.
Still unsure what the problem was or is but it is running fine now.
Thanks FridgeFreezer for the help.
-
Thanks Fridge for the reply.
Disconected the coolant temerature sensor and it didn't make any differance.
Have checked all the plugs again and there is a bright spark on all the leads.
Could the ECU have packed up?
-
Hi hope one of you guys can help on this one.
Went to start the Disco this morning to go to the donnington 4x4 show and it started and stalled after about 10 or 15 seconds. It seemed to be running rich as it started puffing black smoke out of the exhaust. There is a spark at all the plugs but they seemed very wet. It has not started since. I have cleaned all the plugs, checked the dizzycap and sprayed WD40 on eveyting. I am not that good with eletrics But i have tried to understand the EFI diagnosis in the tech archive but to no avail. It still wont start and now the battery is flat . Any help or suggestions please.
Am not happy because i had to go to the show in my wifes citroen c1.
Many thanks GARY.
