Thread: urgent V8 help needed

jasper....if your mechanic has a dignostic scope......
the really old style tune-up machines......get him to hook it up.....
with this.....you can actually see the ignition sparks up on the screen......
this will tell you if the ignition system is playing up or not.....

if he doesnt have one......find a mechanic that does.......its the fastest and cheapest way to find out......

the trailing arm i have done nothing with......

the tailshaft i sent back to LVS so they could see it.....it has a strange and unusual part number......
i am waiting to hear from them some time next week.....

they have been most helpful so far......but i dont like my chances of them having it in stock.....

Wel I think a pretty good repair job was done in straightening the trailing arm......you might just get away with it .....who/wot is LVS? ......why would/should it be a rare/unusual part no.????

land vehicle spares....over at silverdale.....



rare part number.....no one seems to have seen or heard of it....or have a listing of it.....
the only person to even find a listing for it so far is scouse.......

ok.....hey....I think we're hogging the thread with chatter!.....

BTW.....do you know what the problem was on Morgan's RR?......you got it running eventully.....but [other] Tony wasn't sure why or how.....but they both kept up with me on the way back to SYD, till I peeled off down the Pac Hwy @ Wahronga home to Woolahra

i suspected water in the airflow meter connection was causing it to overfuel.....
which was fouling up the plugs before it had a chance to fire.......


i stopped the fuel from going to the engine till it cleared itself.....then it fired up
as soon as i let the fuel back in.....and we didnt switch it off again.....!!
