V8S Home Servicing Parts

[gizzardio]

quick one (hopefully)

I'm going to service my V8S for the first time (only had it 6 months) before putting it back on road after being garaged during the winter.

Was going to follow the full service guide in back of the Steve Heath book and see I need the following parts:

Any comments? It says its for Rover V8 for Chim and Griff but surely V8S too?

Cheers

Yep its fine Rob. You often find V8S isn't mentioned.
Glad to see you are looking after my baby!

Unless you need a new air filter why not pop down to your local Motor Factor, you'll need to get some oil anyway, and save the postage (and a good chance the other bits will be a little cheaper too) ?

Go to your local motorfactor and buy eight NGK B7ECS plugs and a FRAM PH5443 or equivalent oil filter. Don't forget the oil to go with it. Your motorfactor should also be able to supply a 'Range Rover Classic V8' sump plug washer for 50p or so. The air filter is washable.

Remember that there's more to a service than replacing the consumables. If you're doing it yourself, make sure you do it properly.

thanks for reply. I'll see if I can find those items local then as suggested. I was quoted £480 for a full service at a TVR specialist garage not too far from me. Not really wanting to fork that out right now when I can do replacements myself.
As you say, there's more to it than that such as all the checks and tests carried out and obviously the expertise and knowledge but if I follow the service guide in the bible I shouldn't be too far out I think..
