[Touch up]

Got a pic of the affected area?

[2007 Defender 90 hard top or doublecab 110 picckup]

I'd go for the 110 in either station wagon or twin cab, you can't have enough space.

[Water/steam injection]

3. Pref 2 high pressure pumps in series to create the pressure

My understanding was that two pumps in series offers no more output of pressure becausethe second is starved by the first and is always "waiting" for the product to arrive.

I work in the process industry and the principles i would have thought are the same.

But please correct me if i'm wrong.

[3.5 V8 to 3.9 V8]

Please keep me updated to your progress.

Are you going for manual or automatic?

[3.5 V8 to 3.9 V8]

I currently have the 3.5 V8 with SU carbs. Ideally i will buy a RR with 3.9 EFI manual with LPG and no tax or mot for under £500.

Hopefully everything will go to plan.

What work did you have done?

[LPG Tank fitting]

Just spread the load as best you can and bolt it to a cross member as you just said.

[Transmission slop]

If unsure remove the prop and check it out, look for worn joints.

Out of curiosity when was the last time it was greased?

[LPG Tank fitting]

What size/ volume is your tank?

[Td5 instrument panel.... fitting & wiring]

Any news yet on the LEDs?

[v8 - tdi conversion specialists]

I would like the tdi for economy and range. there is nothing wrong with my V8.

Why not fit a good LPG ki then?

I would sooner have the V8 then a 300tdi with it's associated head problems.

[Cost of bulkhead replacement..??]

Any tips?

Like what order to tackle the jobs?

[Twin Cab - The way forward?]

Back on topic....

Have you done any test drives yet?

What do you think?

[Distributor Wiring Help]

According to my wiring diagram there should be two wires. 1 goes to earth or it might be earthed via a fixing bolt, and the second a white with black tracer from the coil.

I hope this helps.

Have you traced where the wiring goes?

If i was to buy an old range rover with an LPG kit on it, would this be a straight swap also?

[3.5 V8 to 3.9 V8]

When changing the engine loom to suit the new 3.9 EFI is it easier to take the existing loom out and put the Range Rover one in?

Or is it best to just change the bits that you need to?

Where is the best place to mount the ECU?

Can you get dizzy-less ignition?

[3.5 V8 to 3.9 V8]

I was after changing the engine to the 3.9EFI for longevity and improved running.

Does it really hate water so much?

Would i be better keeping my carbs and having my engine and transmission rebuilt?

Thanks

[3.5 V8 to 3.9 V8]

Would the manual 5 speed off the range rover be a better gear box than the the 4 speed?

If so would it be a direct fit conversion?

The info has been great so far.

[3.5 V8 to 3.9 V8]

I had no need to fit an oil cooler, or change radiator...

You can remove the oil cooler connection and just fit a standard oil filter. (It's just a blanking plate... Nut unscrews where the oil filter fits and plate comes away)

My 3.9 runs cooler than the 3.5 did with the same radiator. (Same sender unit so I know it's running cooler..)

I had tubular Janspeed manifolds and exhaust which fitted fine.. I'm guessing the standard 3.5 manifolds will also suffice unless anyone knows better.

The alternator sat in the wrong place on the 3.9 (Right as you look at it) but a plate off another 3.5 (or your old lump) will sort that. The old loom fitted perfectly and the man that fitted it all for me wired the three necessary wires from the 3.9 EFi loom into mine, one to the coil and it fired up first time ! ( I cannot claim the glory as I was mainly making coffee and passing tools around..)

Had to fit another bottom pulley wheel but you should be able to swap off the 3.5... (Mine was sold as turnkey engine with all ancilliaries left in-situ.)

If you need any pictures or specifics, ask in here or PM me.

Did a garage do the work for you? Or was it a friend doing the job?

Some pics would be great.

What transmission did you start with and what transmission did you finish up with?

Thanks everyone for the replys so far.

[3.5 V8 to 3.9 V8]

I have a 1984 110 CSW which a factory fit 3.5 V8 with a 4 speed box and overdrive. I want to upgrade it a 3.9 EFI apart from the wiring what would require changing.

I was planning on buying an old Range Rover Classic complete so i have all parts i need. I was planning on keeping a manual.

Would it be a straight swap in terms of engine and transmission mounts?

Or is there going to be a lot of custom parts?

Any advice would be very helpful.

Thanks
