  1. You say you have fuel flow but does it have any pressure? If pressure is low it will not open the regulator to return. You have connected the flow and return pipes the right way round? Steve
  2. I doubt they have a part number because they were part of the body. However that does not mean an aftermarket company does not produce them. Could not find them when I looked so made my own. Steve
  3. Worklamps are allowed by SVA. It must not be possible to swivel them. In my case they are connected in to the reversing lights. Just looked through the manual and cannot find anything about them being switched out when moving forwards. Steve
  4. The flapper and 4cu ecu were used on landrover 3.5s, Rover 3.5s (SD1), TVR and Morgan. Steve
  5. Love the logic. Only thing I would change is that the failed electrics are most likely run from the auxiliary side of the ignition switch which is disabled during start so that is why they were off. Steve
  6. Les has a couple of threads in the tech archive. Steve
  7. One I have hear measures exactly 2 metres clevis to clevis if that helps. Steve
  8. The fun ones are over the top. Lift the engine and remove the engine mounts. Lower the engine as far as pos and the top bolts become a whole lot easier. Leave the lower ones in place until after you have lifted the engine again and supported the front of the gearbox. Steve
  9. An SVA test would require the pipes secured every 300mm and clear of the chassis. Steve
  10. Difficult to know if your loom will have the same wire colours. Find the wire from the start position of the ignition switch (probably White/Red) going to the start solenoid. Cut this wire and connect the starter end to pin 87 of a 30amp relay. Connect the ignition switch side of the cut wire to the White/Red on the 'box. Connect the Black/Orange from the 'box to relay pin 85. Connect an unswitched live (probably Brown) to relay pin 30. Connect relay pin 86 to earth. Steve
  11. In park you should find continuity between the Black/Orange and White/Red this is the start inhibit. In reverse you should find continuity between the Green and Green/Brown this is reverse. None of the connections go to earth. Steve
  12. Is that the final selection or the last short list stage? Well done anyway. Steve
  13. I have them on my Dakar. They are the first off road tyre/vehicle I have ever had so I'm not in a position to judge. Seem OK to me. Steve
  14. My Dakar is based on a RRC 1987. the trailing arms are 32mm diameter. Steve
  15. The spec sheet offers max torque at 3500. See if they have a graph so you can check the curve. If it is fairly flat then you should have plenty of torque from about 1500. Stump pulling is torque not HP. Steve
  16. The UK regulations say you can have any number of rear lights, stop lights and no more than two indicators per side at the rear. (only one indicator per side at the front). If lamps do not bear an appropriate E mark then they should emit light of a similar brightness. The high level ones would also seem to comply as I can find no requirement that optional lights have to comply with the height restriction applied to the obligatory lights. Steve
  17. You can even buy a kit which I think comes with a cutting and gluing jig so you get the ends aligned. http://www.jameswalker.biz/group/products/..._ring_cord.html These made up rings are OK for static seals but would not recommend for seals that are in motion, sliding or rotary. Steve
  18. Spoilt the image now...I doubt Wesley owns a scriber or did that get thrown up off the road. Steve
  19. Sorry, wrong way round. The engine is pulling air towards it so a non-return valve would prevent the brakes working. Steve
  20. If damage to pipes is an issue then run them inside the body as rally cars do. Running all three from the engine should not be an issue because as you said they will not all be working together. In addition there is actually very little air movement in a servo. If there were then you would hear it release every time you took your foot off the brake in the same way as you hear lorry brakes. Steve
  21. Car Builder Solutions do two types of small heaters. A proper one and an electric demister as already mentioned but looks to fit your request for something a little more robust. http://www.cbsonline.co.uk/heatac-95-c.asp Steve
  22. As already said most BB will be 6mm. The heavier ones will be harder and will wear better. Avoid the ones claiming to be bio degradable as they are quite soft. I think they are made of soya. Steve
  23. First eliminate the exhaust from the equation. Wire it back out of the way and go for a test drive. Steve
