Sid has taste, from what I can see that's a nice looking (Lunar grey?) P6 he is sheltering under... Shamefully that's my P6 - I have owned it a long time & it's a very low mileage car - 23,000 all service history from new etc - I need to get it recommissioned and back into use but just so busy doing everybody else's car This is great! If you want a 3500s to practice on before you do your own I'm only over in Hook! It's my daily and the paint is looking pretty ropey :s (Not that you need any practice, your work looks amazing )

The t-series was used without the turbo in the "MPI" badged discos. My brother and I removed one from a disco down in the westcountry a few years ago as he needed some bits for the T-16 (with turbo) setup he was fitting to his lightweight/airportable. The engine was still in the vehicle and we were under the impression that the shell was going for scrap so removal could be quick and dirty. When we arrived the seller told us that not only had the body been sold, but that the guy was coming to collect a couple of hours after we turned up! No pressure... The lightweight is scarily fast, and beats my 3.5 rv8 powered 90 hands down! i was just thinking + series 3. i guess they have a unique bellhousing for T series to LT76 in the disco ? See here: forums.lr4x4.com/topic/81634-t16-powered-light-weight/?tab=comments#comment-700744I'll stop spamming this thread now. Carry on!

I'd set the idle valve to warmup only and see if you can get a stable idle without it, usually the "always on" idle control is used with things that drop the revs a fair bit like aircon kicking in etc..
*Edit- car is looking awesome!

Great thread, thanks for taking the time to post, has helped me while away some time while suffering from chronic diarrhoea in the Algarve! I should be sat by the pool reading this, not on the loo!

This looks like Ekofisk? I work for Saipem and was offshore when we removed the 2/4-S Jacket and Tripod back in 2014 with the S7000, was great fun!

If it plays up then whack Megasquirt on it Love the Gru intro, made me chuckle Mine has the same, megasquirt etc not so easy on these as they have the balasted injectors, best option is SUs or the later injection system. Not true! I ran a conplete flapper top end on my defender when I first went EFI from SU's, you have two options: Run with the resistor box which makes the injectors effectively high impedance Run without the resistor box using PWM. I did the first, then after a couple of years swapped to a later hotwire type manifold so I could use newer style injectors with better spray pattern and atomisation. Anyways, this is all getting ahead of ourselves, I am sure the flapper will be ok. If it's not then troubleshooting manuals are here: forums.lr4x4.com/topic/16466-35-v8-flapper-system-diagnostic-manual/

I'm more worried about the flapper type EFI which I've heard isn't the most reliable/a pain in the a*se If it plays up then whack Megasquirt on it Love the Gru intro, made me chuckle

+1 here on the R9 hose cracking. I had it on my RV8 powered Defender - the sections in the engine bay were knackered and dangerous after a year or so - the other sections away from the heat were still ok.
When i removed it you could snap it in half just by bending it!
Great thread and lovely car - keep it up.

Be aware that changing the number of squirts will affect your mixture unless you have accurately flow tested your injectors and got a real dead time figure for them. You can figure out the dead time by switching back and forth between the number of squirts and logging the changes in AFR - have a google around on the msextra forums for more info.
4 squirts is better for throttle response than 2.
Also - with Tunerstudio these days you don't need to turn off EGO control when running VE Analyze, it accounts for it - which is nice.
For now I'd leave everything fancy switched off until you have a good idle, so disable EGO Control (which you have already with authority set to 0), and set your stepper motor to warm up only.

Afternoon all,
The trim in my Dad's new (old) Defender 110 is a bit battered in places, if I have got this right there should be some pictures below... Is there any way to repair this or at least tidy it up at all to make it a bit more presentable?
Cheers
*edit - pics didnt work - watch this space.

Can't remember which car came with a cigar lighter rather than a cigarette lighter in its ads, was it Jag or Rover ? I'm pretty sure that in some of the paperwork I have for my Rover P6 it mentions a cigar lighter rather than the usual run of the mill cigarette lighter. Could be imagining it though!
