The replacement header tank arrived and was fitted, I stuck on a Ford 50/50 anti freeze sticker on for weird reasons.
whilst waiting for the tank to arrive I swapped out the clutch to something less heavy duty and changed the gearbox mounts for V8 Range Rover engine mounts. I’ve had a few mounts, standard ones the engine jumps about, Vibra Technics were too race car for me. Standard ones with the voids filled with tiger seal were good but they didn’t last long before the seal worked loose. We will see how these work out.
Also since fitting the Turbo Technics front cross member I’ve had to use the gearbox cradle to jack it in my garage as there’s not enough room down the sides. It wasn’t meant for this and was distorting. Son no2 neatly strengthened it for me and made it look OEM even though it will never be seen.
Today it failed its MOT for the first time in my ownership……on emissions FFS. 30 years of passing on MFI and it fails on EFI. We were able to go and remove fuel from the map at idle and get a pass. Looks like my Lambda has failed.
