Re: P38 gems dipstick
Many thanks, without doubt It hasn't secondary air injection, so i Need short dipstick! It shouldn't really matter, as long as you have the correct pair of tube and dipstick. The longer/different one is simply to get around the additional hardware on the engine versus more direct without the hardwa...

Re: PowerLite Starter.
I'd agree under light load - like a hot engine - but with cold oil, would depend on how much the motor has in reserve? Make a good pub quiz question. :D Mathematically, it's an absolute. More teeth = faster, but you are right that a marginal battery and/or a tired motor would struggle because the h...

Re: PowerLite Starter.
2 more teeth will spin it a bit faster, but I doubt you'd notice it sitting in the seat.

Re: Thermostat Bypass Pipe
Yes, I do have that pipe. The problem as I understand it is that if you fill the header tank, the water will run down to behind the thermostat, and then fill the block and heater as they have connections from behind the 'stat too. But the 'stat will be closed, so water will not run into the bottom ...

Re: Cooling issues.
Just looked at a load of other diagrams, and I agree, I seem to be completely wrong...god only knows how I ended up getting it so wrong. looks I need one of these, and remove the thermostat from the inlet manifold (but why is there a perfectly machined cut out)......looks like a robotic heart!. Scr...

Re: Thermostat Bypass Pipe
The only downside I have come across with having the 'stat in the bottom hose is because those stats don't appear to have a bleed hole, filling the cooling system is very difficult. Filling the header tank does not fill the radiator at all. I always remove the top hose, and fill both directions unt...

permanent ban
So, I try to logon this morning and I get a message saying I have been permanently banned for being on some or other "list" and please can I contact a Moderator to dispute it. I turned my VPN off and retried to logon and suddenly it works, but the VPN has been on for a few months now without issues....

Re: Difference
Chris, I know it's been a few years since I last used an LT77 but the bellhousing on a 4wd LT77 is considerably longer than that on a 2wd. I stand to be corrected. http://www.v8performanceparts.co.uk/images/Rover/med_gallery_2_361_1338360.jpg http://www.v8performanceparts.co.uk/images/Rover/s-l640....
