  1. Range Rover Classic
    Hello friends! Hoping to get a little help here. I've had a persistent problem with my 89 Rangie “misfiring” when warm. I put misfire in quotes because it’s not really a misfire but more like all cylinders shut down for a second under load. She starts right up and idles nicely. Runs pretty well...

    The right of passage has come and partially gone. Engine is back in but I failed to make good enough notes or pictures on these clips. Think one is back of cylinder head lh side but can't figure the other one. Kick down cable maybe?? Get very fussy about having everything factory so this will...
  3. Range Rover Classic
    Hi all, I am just going to log my latest adventures modernising my ancient 84 3.5 original carb engine. I myself have been looking for information on the internet and found limited information available so I will just explain my experiences here for anybody who is considering similar ideas...

    Hi. New member so please bear with me :). I recently aquired RRC for restoration project and and it's got faulty fuel level sensor. The level connector that should give ohm reading shows no conductivity between the sensor body and the connector. I've tried googling the correct sensor a bit...
  5. Range Rover Classic
    I’m new to this forum. In 2014 I bought an early EFI Vogue which went but was a little tired externally. This year finally got around to getting it road worthy and had the body work sorted with a complete respray. The previous owner had raised the suspension, something which I will probably...

    I recently installed a Holley Sniper TBI EFI system instead of the original carbs on my 84 RRC 3.5. All working great and the system has a little display with a whole bunch of readouts, one of them is 'lbs of fuel per hour'. I had a fairly long drive on Texas flatlands with various speeds so I...

  8. Range Rover Classic
    Still rebuilding my original grey import Texas 1984 Range Rover V8. Making good progress currently working on rebuilding the sagging headliner (and equally sagging headliner board). Getting close to having her on the road. I upgraded the original dual carbs to a Holley 390 CFM carb. It works...

    Hi allI swapped ECUs from a 13cu on my 87 to a 14cux from a 94 3.9. Truck runs great, but the EFI light came on after a 45 minute drive. I'm wondering if the ECU is looking for a signal from a sensor not present on my 3.5. Where would you start?Again, it runs great. If the EFI light persists I...
  10. Range Rover Classic
    Hello all, I am having some issues which I feel should be easy to fix, but are nagging and have persisted for the last year that I've owned the car. The main issue I'm having is the truck takes a lot of cranking before it fires when the engine is cold. When it does eventually crank over, it...
  11. Range Rover Classic
    Hi all Just completed a top end rebuild on my motor... head gaskets, skimmed, new cam (std), cloyes timing gear, and valve seats. Runs fine but there is one problem that was there before I started. From idle to 1500 rpm it is very lumpy under acceleration. It idles ok, although occasionally...
  12. Range Rover Classic
    Hi, i have a 86 3.5 efi in my defender. I just can't get it to run half decent. I can barely get it past 3000 revs. From time to time it missfires/cuts out and the tach spikes at the same time. So far i have changed the leads, rotor and delco. Alternator and coil are ptetty new too. Sparks on...

    Hi, I am re-conditioning a Lucas Hotwire EFI and have a wiring question. The wire that runs from the coil negative splits into two a few centimetres from the coil connection. The duplicate wires are the correct colours and both have identical resistors in the same location along the wires...
  14. Range Rover Classic
    Hello, all. I'm having a problem with my petrol V8. The vehicle is a 1989 Range Rover Classic, with 3.5L EFI engine and 5-speed manual gearbox. When started cold, everything is fine, but only for about two minutes. Once it warms up even the littlest bit, the idle starts fluctuating very...
