Hello everyone, this is my new project. A 1981 series 3 109 pick up with a 200tdi swap. It obviously needs finishing off but thought I would share.

For those of you who saw my post two weeks ago: the tan 88" is on it's way to JC British in Colorado. Unfortunately we didn't have room for two on the trailer and I didn't have the time or manpower swap over the safari top.

My series rover is getting a whole new power train.

Selling my old, decent running order.

Hi all, I recently rebuilt the thermostat housing on my 2.25l petrol and replaced the missing thermostat, and of course had to drain and replenish the radiator.

I didn't mess with the ignition, timing, fuel, or carb and now it's making so little power I can't even reverse out of my garage without stalling 3 times. Accelerator is really unresponsive and it actually seems to choke out if I give it too much throttle at once. it also backfires sometimes, again it seems to be if I give too much throttle for too long. The revs also barely climb when I work the choke cable.

I really don't understand what could've happened, but I've tried taking the intake tube off, cleaned my air cleaner,  and worked some fuel out of the lines by priming into a bucket. I’ve also changed the engine oil and it came out black but not mixed with any water, coolant, or something else.

It’s got about a 1/4 tank right now, mostly fresh 89 octane with the last little bit of ~8 month old 87 that I’ve been working out of it for a few weeks when it was running fine.

Any help is greatly appreciated, I’m running out of ideas and the will to live.

Does anyone want these LRO magazines? Ranging from 1991-1997. I'll box and ship if you pay for shipping. US-NY 12846.
