Got 90 MOT'd after a summer refurb. Purchased in April, what could have been faulty, rusty or broken was. So it's been a long haul but well worth it. Best driving Land Rover I've been in. Sound of V8 just adds to the fun. looking forward to making use of it, according to MOT logs it's only done 2000 since 2006. I think it has been sitting at the bottom of a farmers cess pit the state it was in. If anybody know motor would be good to hear if that was true, it is blue county and it had a TAZ graphic on the bonnet D25POE definitely used off road so someone's bound to know some history.  :D

Stripped the SU carbs on my V8 90, everything looked in good order, albeit a bit clatty, a tin of carb cleaner later and all back together with fresh oil in the dash pots and a new choke cable.
I used 20/50 engine oil this time as opposed to 3 in 1 oil that I usually use
It fired up quicker than normal with a noticeable difference in engine note, as soon as I pulled out the drive I could tell there was a big improvement, much smoother and sharper response, flat spot at low revs has gone and more beans on the motorway, it's also running at a normal temp, where previously it was running cool no doubt due to mixture.
So all in all a productive morning just need to get a carb balancer do dah and set them up properly  ;D

Fitted the rear parabolics on my series 3 looks now it sits better than the flat originals! Took the seatbox out to repair the cubby box bit. Loosely hung the replacement rear door that is to replace the rotten one that came with it and fitted the van sides on hardtop.

Will hopefully get the rotten bulkhead out before xmas...
