The V8 Owners Forum -

I have met Ramon many times over the years and can only comment on his enthusiasm and useful information he has taken time to prepare and make available, being a fellow TP Vitesse owner, (still haven't fitted cruise yet, Ramon :oops: ) got all the bits, control switch is fitted :lol: We all don't ha...

If your cap is similar to my RR it should release pressure above 15psi / 1 bar. When the engine has ran for a while, after a few km's and is hot, release the pressure from the cap, if pressure is released quickly without gurgling/bubbling, I would hope the head/block is OK. If gurgling/bubbles take ...

You're probably thinking about JB Weld.

As regards the Servo holes could you not fit a solid bolt? instead of the banjo type

17A is a 2300/2600

19A is a 3500 V8 box

Both will fit

Either will do depending on condition more importantly, depends how you look at it, the 19a may have had a harder time

P5B's V8's are auto's P6 manual's are 4 speed and have a long bellhousing coupled to an aluminium cased box.

Give us a clue, there are lots of 5 speeds, is it of Rover origin? don't recognise any of the numbers you listed

My Range Rover started out like that, just used a little water, and not putting it on the floor i.e. no leaks. Engine lasted @ 2 years in that condition. Turned out it was a porous block in the end :evil: Don't want to be the bearer of bad news but sound so similar to my engine :( it eventually over...

I use an FSE valve on my Rover SD1 Vitesse TP (without a gauge) works well

To retension the belt, slacken the central tensioner pulley bolt (13mm spanner) you should see the tension increase if slack. If no difference is seen replace the belt and set it up again. Retighten central bolt once complete :wink: My serp set up has all the bits, air con, etc but still has only on...

It's difficult to name names, don't want to get into lawsuit's/liable, etc can cause alot of problems as Tony has mentioned

The info above was from a friend and therefore not my own experience, but you can see who I recommend

Hi, System is on a Range Rover Classic (Softdash) system fitted well, only mod I had to do was to reroute the Live feed to the starter motor. There will be a system for a Defender assuming it is stock i.e. not converted which could be out of position and need mods System is manufactured by Double S ...

You are correct Ramon should be on the at normal ride height and fasteners "Loose" before bolts not pulled upfinal torquing/tightening (ball joint could be fastened)

Hope the info helps

Hi Andy,
You need one of these!


Bought one recently from MM4x4 £400.51 delivered well worth it

Hi Badger,
I know who you are on about, from our conversations, but it is another unfortunately

Hi Timo Ive changed the arms at home, a little awkward but OK to do :!: Getting both arms onto the ARB bar and refitting them into the subframe with the front struts attached is interesting/taxing :evil: Changing the ball joint in the track arm, is a naughty No No, don't go there, remember it is a s...
