BusheyTrader Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 Rpi engineering Norfolk just for V8 engines. S and S Ramsbottom I bought my V8 conversion kit from them in the 90’s and parts since then, advice freely given, know wedges inside out Quote Link to post Share on other sites
cvtrian Posted September 24, 2021 Report Share Posted September 24, 2021 S&S moved from Ramsbottom to Bacup, and I think Steve has now sold his parts, emptied his unit and the yard - and just about retired................ Ian Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ian If I'm not wrong, some (or most, or all ??) of Steve' Tr7 parts were bought by Jonathan Fallowell (I'm not sure about the spelling either, sorry), a very nice chap from whom I bought my Mk1 Estate.

Emrys Parry Posted March 18, 2022 Report Share Posted March 18, 2022 I've just bought a 3 switch fascia panel from Jonathan. Very easy transaction. photos supplied prior to purchase and delivery included in the very reasonable price. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Andy Moltu Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 I had heard that getting hold of Rover V8s was getting harder these days. Are the later Land Rover and Range Rover V8s based on the same Buick engine? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
BusheyTrader Posted April 4, 2022 Report Share Posted April 4, 2022 Depends how “late” you’re talking about. Some articles have the last Rover V8 engines installed in Land Rover products up to 2005. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Grinnal Posted June 21, 2022 Report Share Posted June 21, 2022 Hi I brought an engine that required rebuild and had it custom built by JRV8, real easy they organised collection, rebuilt it and returned with fully documented. with CD of the build and certificates etc. I would always recommend these guys is you are looking for a 3.5 V8, I have had no issues with mine al all Quote Link to post Share on other sites
