V8 starting problems now nothing..... FIXED

<< < (2/3) > >>

Range Rover Blues:
If the amp has failed I'd suggest you rig up an earth from one of those littl ebolts back to the battery, poor earth is opne reason they fail.

iomlr:
think i'll do that! th eold one must of been on its way out for a period of time, because i soon as i put this newer one on by christ what a difference! runs far smoother start at a touch of the key, pulls better just 100% better than before. so megga chuffed! so anything i can do to help maintain that gota be worth it.

Range Rover Blues:
You fitted a new amp unit then?  was it a genuine and how much was it?  might be worth doing the same if it's made that much difference.

iomlr:
i think i was just VERY VERY lucky and found a belting second hand one off another v8 i had laying around! but honest swer to god it made a MASSIVE and i mean A HUGEEEEEEEE difference......... engine used to take 2 / 3 seconds to start now like half a second and bang into life,, so much smoother, more crisp and responsive. feels like a different engine and i was happy with the way it ran before so you can imagen how happy i am now!!!!!! I know Paddocks are selling a complete dizzy for £125 plus the vat ( guessed price) which isnt bad at all.

if that didnt fix it i was rady to rip the V8 out and put the 300tdi in.... no word of a lie.... now i's so happy with the V8

Range Rover Blues:
Then it might be more economical too.

Just one thought, whilst doing the dizzy did you alter the timing at all?
