RoaryV8

Lancaster for me. RRC was £270 fully comp with limited miles, Just changed to a 300 Disco and dropped a further £68 so im well chuffed with them considering i have No NCB.

Very good idea to change the crank oil seal while its out, as you dont want that to start leaking 6 months down the line and take the gearbox out to replace it. Got a 200 TDi clutch to change soon and going for the borg and beck from paddocks seems a good price onlt around £68+ vat.

Only takes the one to ruin it all for everyone !!!!!

Spark plugs definatly should not just blow out, even when trying to combust water its unlikely i would imagine...

Hence why i have never been there and not too far from me....

Ha ha yeah sorry 10mm wall on the tube

Done some work for a mate a little while ago and liked his front bumper. So he set about making me one too It made from 10mm Tube and Mounting plates are also 10mm so i dont think its going to go anywhere anythime soon

ha ha ha yeah would love to, then it would be the ideal landy... plenty of power and likes water but nowhere near enough £££'s for that at the mo....

slight issue now after sealing dizzy silicone sprayed all the leads etc its now missing today and wont go even after a 15 min drive..... Damn V8's yuou can really hate them sometimes........

Right taken dizzy off cleaned and sealed with silicone, Sprayed all leads with a spray silicone sealant, but was more like spray oil so not sure if thats gonna do anything. And tomorrow if i get time im gonna try and make up a splash guard for the dizzy.

For the time being think im gonna make a splash guard, and see if that helps while sealing all leads and maybe the dizzy cap too. Have searched through a lot of topics but some people say something works, others say something else works, some say it dont et etc etc.. So just wondered if any work or at least help out a bit.

Yeah just looked at megasquirt and definatly not an option at that price.. My old 3.5 never seemed to have much problems at all, nothing like what i had on the plains yesterday. Think a good replacement of all ignition componants, A funny 9 finger glove and maybe a splash guard might help.

After a great day out over the plains yesterday, i need to look into my 3.9 V8's ignition elecs. After a few decent puddles it started missing badly sometimes had to stop and oil dizzy etc and would be ok then till the next puddle, then lose 1 or 2 cylinders for about 10 mins.... Anyone got any good solutions that have been tried and tested? was thinking of siliconing the dizzy cap to get a better seal and putting a thin ally splash guard around it?? Would this help much or waste of time? Leads im going to get some spray sealant or maybe chain wax to put over them to seal them up, but just the dizzy thats causing me the most problems i think.

Dont thinks its that bad of a job, think Cross-member has to be removed to drop the sump but other than that just general undoing etc....

Right slight update, Plucked up the courage and put £80 in the tank and gave me 3/4 so all is good just need aq guard to mate to the plastic tank
