Bits 'n' pieces

While I have my V8S stripped to the bone I was thinking of doing all the little jobs to tidy the car up.

I have a few questions about parts

1. Are the rocker cover gaskets the same as rover v8 ones.
2. Is the fuel filter a TVR special, or can I source that from somewhere too.
3. The air filter appears to be a pipercross style, can you buy a reconditioning pack like you can for K&N.
4. Where can I get a decent set of tyres without paying the earth.
5. Is the oil filter a standard rover item and can it be changed without repacking with grease to prevent air locks (this was mentioned as a problem).
6. Some of my air duct tubing has burnt through, does anyone know where I can get a replacement.

Sorry about the quantity of questions, but I am sure someone should be able to answer them easily.

Thanks,

Z.

For tyres try either of the following:

Micheldever Tyres and Auto Services, www.micheldever.co.uk, Tel - 01962 774437,
Location - between Basingstoke & Winchester, Hampshire

Allegedly Europes busiest & biggest tyre centre and will still supply Re721's if you want 'em

Or

Protyre, Web - www.protyre.co.uk
Location - various across South England.

Cobbled from www.sseries.com, though I did supply the info originally

Bit of a , but about £80 a corner.

Z,

1. Yep. Rocker cover gaskets - Land Rover Part#LVC100260 £11 each approx plus VAT. These are the new rubber ones (replacing the original cork type).

2. Not sure - TVR part# is TL0068

3. ??

4. Micheldever - I recommend them too. They can still get the OE RE71's too.

5. Halfrauds part#HOF249. Just fill the filter up with clean oil to the brim, smear a little oil around the seal, whip off the old one and replace it sharpish with the new. I've only ever repacked the actual oil pump itself with vaselene on a full strip down - never had any problems. When you fire her up check for oil pressure.

6. 2" air ducting - can be sourced elsewhere I beleive although TVR part #S29E 10037.

Hope this helps.
