    Holy fucken thread revival batman. I was 21 when this thread started. And im going to say the same thing I should have said back then but didn't. Rover v8's are shit.
  3. stop next to a car and use the roof to support your self at inter sections
  4. Hey. So yeah. I have been busy on this cutting out rust and welding in steel. Think im about 15 hours into it now. Seems to be taking me forever but then again I hate doing rust so probably not working as efficiently as I could. Two bits to weld in tomorrow and then its filler time. Will upload pics this weekend to keep this thread alive. Plan is to get a warrant so I can lower it really.
  5. Are you going to fit a factory mattress? Or make one that has the fold up area cut out of it? Cut some springs gee
  6. Clearly I approve Just not of the height (as usual)
  7. And I assume that fixed it lol? Might have to keep an eye on pic a part lols
  8. Well. .... I replaced the o2 sensor today, and also set the base timing as it was at 5 degrees and is meant to be at 10. Still has hesitation but seems to be much better. And also actually revs alot better as you would expect with the timing being out. At this point im going to leave it for now and get her to keep running it on 95min, and see if it starts to improve. Worst case I can probably borrow a car from the car dealer we work for and try swapping ignitor and coil etc. So much info on the Internet and yet there is no magic cure haha.
  9. thanks Mr Roger Will post some progress once i upload some pics somewhere
  10. I put 98 mobile in it on Monday, and can confirm I have been nanging it as I too have considered this. Wonder if I do the oxy sensor, keep her running 95 to 98 and disconnect the battery to try hard reset the ECU
  11. Sorry my wall of text might have been a bit much Coolant temp sensor seems fine, based on live data Seems worst when cold, maybe, but still present through all temp range. And I have checked the vac line to the Map when I Checked the filter that feeds to it. All Seems good and cleaned it yesterday If I had the smoke machine here at the moment I would give it burn and check for intake leaks, but at this point I dont Lol
  12. haha fuck you But yes probably accurate Um, Well I cant beaver, as I dont have the POWER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  13. My guess is it has been run on 91 but im sure I have told here to run 95min lol. Ok fuck it I will just order an oxy sensor then. But not from you you expensive cunts lol.
  14. Hey chaps. So basically, my partners sisters car has an issue or two, and thought I might try for some advice from some people that might have fucked around with black top 4ages more than me. The vehicle, ae101 bz tourer with a black top clearly. 1997 vintage. The issue or issues as such, as they maybe related. Basically it is hesitant during low revs up to around 4000rpm then most often clears put and goes very well as a 4age should. Cruising seems fine, and seems pretty good at wide open throttle. So is most noticeable at quarter to half throttle sort of thing. Also, every so often while cruising along at 80ish, so I gues around 3000 rpm, it hasca blatant miss, but only for a second. What I have done so far is new plugs, as old ones were super ashed up, so yes being a black top it uses some oil, but not fuming blue smoke all over the place bad at all. Also replaced the rotor and the cap had previously been replaced by me on request from someone else as to this being the cause, which is wasn't. However since doing the rotor and plugs it does seem ba bit better as it was lot more missy before. The leads I have swapped with some known to be good second hand ones. However not the coil lead, which could be an issue but I would be surprised. I have also cleaned out the filter for the sensor, and tried the ecu for codes. There were none. Scan tool on live data is showing that the coolant temp sensor is working like a boss. So, where to from here? I have read a bunch of threads. Every one stating its a common problem but never really getting down to how to fix the cunt. One suggestion was tps, so I am going to check and set that along with the base timing tomorrow. Another was that the oxy sensor could be toast from oil contamination. I guess I could commit to buying an oxy sensor, but. If people have some first hand experience with these rad as shit little motors and how to address this silly issue I would love to hear about it. Thanks dudes. Seedy mother fucking al
  15. Will probably turn this thread into My thread at some point by the way
