Hi

What sort of lubricant/grease should i use for a 2.8i power steering rack and where do i put it?

Thanks

Matt

Very nice job. What did it cost you do?

ah ok, no i didn't take it as a rant. Didn't read it properly Superflex/Powerflex....all confusing.

You got the price right, i bought some off Rallydesign for about £9.00 each?

You tried Tickover?

How much does a recore cost?

check the fuel lines that run under the car especially under the passenger door. They run through the chassis strengthener and can easily get crushed if jacked up at that point.

In this months cci club magazine they say they have a solution for converting ohc senders for 2.8i

Ford 302 for a nice perana style conversion . Rover standard v8 not huge power. Also BMW and jag. Engine mounts available for some on eBay. Caprisport do some. Gear box brakes axles all need to be considered.

Are the kidney boxes needed or can they be done away with?

2.8i

Hi

Is there any difference between OHC and 2.8i radiators?

Does anyone recondition them?

Yes soak it. It can be adjusted on the spring if needed

Yes bullet join is on mine. I think the red and black is from the coil. Connects to relay with live to fuel pump. Clean the bullet up and replace the short piece of wire to the relay.

Check them for resistance. Ohms.

Have you checked the amount of fuel at the metering head? Find the fuel inlet and remove from the head. It should be around 750ml in 30 seconds. Swap the fuel pump relay with the heated screen relay to get the pump to run consistently. (Don't forget to swap it back). If fueling is ok at the head che...

I have been looking for some 15" deep dish gir my 2.8i but no success. 15" = bigger brakes

Sorted it. Crushed fuel pipe and not a good live to the fuel pump relay. Check the fuel pipe under the passenger door, it can get crushes where it goes through the chassis

Do i need a gas analyzer to sort the metering head out or can it be done another way. Took the plugs (brand new) out and they are black, sooty black, running rich i assume.
is there a way of finding a start point on the head?


Thanks
