Hi guys
My comp safari racer has my head hurting again.
I have a vdo oil pressure guage any suggestions on sender and adapters and where on the pump to fit it. I want to keep the pressure light sender.

Absolutely love it.
Unfortunately just can't justify it at the moment just need to get it finished before the winter

I need a bit of help on what gauges I need for my comp safari racer project. I have recently replaced the 3.5 motor with a 3.9 hotwire serp motor. Previosly it used the range rover classic gauge pod but I have now fitted a tomcat grp race dash. Iam thinking as a minimum I need Fuel gauge, water temp...

Well cats off and sensors left in situ.
470 ohm tune resistor in loom. All ok apart from idle is hunting when it's in park. And a little when it's in drive ???.
Any ideas. I don't have ecu mate to be able to check it's recognised the resistor correctly.

Well the cats are coming off tomorrow and stainless pipe going in its place. I was going to ask them too keep the sensors in situ just in case they were ever needed. I have already swapped the tune resistor for a potentiometer set to 470 ohms. Which should have selected the no cats fuel map. First t...

Yep lucas hotwire with serpentine belt 1998 model. Two very large cats two sensors each side one in front one behind cats. I thought all the serp 3.9 v8 had cats

Thank you very much for your help.

So remove cats and rear sensors keep the front sensors and change to 470 ohm resistor for no cats

Mmmmm I thought about the bosch leads.
Bought lucas a year ago and failed already. Don't want to be buying another set next year.

Cheers for that.
Are you meaning if I remove the cats that I should keep the front sensor and not change the tune resistor.

Need to replace some leads

Hi everyone I have a 98 discovery v8 import with 50K on the clock. I use for on road and off. I have had a misfire which seems to have blown a cat. Sorted the misfire now. But not sure about the cats. Mot testing is not an issue. The cats have two sensors per side. Iwas thinking of removing the cats...

I have the wire that goes to it but not the original sender on the land rover forums they are saying it's a different thread

Hi guy s
Hope somebody can help just put a v8 hot wire in my comp safari racer that previously had 3.5 car and was wired to range rover classic gauges.
How can I get the temp gauge to work as the injection system uses the temp sender unit

Mmmm i hate electrics.
Maybe its the BROWN/LIGHT GREEN thats wrong dont see one on yours Dave but its a big 27amp wire.
Think i need to print off all the info i have and have a rethink.
I thought i had earthed all the blacks maybe one has a trace wire i didnt notice
