I did a short series of videos on my youtube channel, bit sweary I am afraid - my evil twin brother you see

Anyway episode #1 was strip down of a derelict set, identifying faults and issues that cause problems, episode #2 is reassembly and base-lining. I do not have my carb balance kit here while in lockdown so cannot do on the car tune up.

I know they are from a Rover v8 and they are 175 CDS rather than CD2 but should still give you a good indication of what's what

An extract from a nut and bolt restoration of a 1972 Range Rover that I did that covers basic tune and balancing https://youtu.be/Ok3sxI9Y6zE?t=457

Just to say that your brothers videos are much appreciated Richard keep 'em coming! Entertaining and informative, I would recommend that anyone here on the forum, who is yet to see your channel, gives it a go.

And..... to think that making a 'Bob-Tail' was actually a thing back in the day what the hell were they thinking! Must have been influenced by the relatively low value of the vehicle at the time. Did some crazy off-roader come up with the first one?


Cheers

I found that presentation so good I thought I'd make up a pdf file which is a bit easier to print out and also less likely to show a "dead link" when you need it in two year's time!
