Frequently asked questions

What does the NZX8076L carburettor needle do?
The NZX8076L is the tapered metering needle for the SU carburettor on the 3.5L V8 petrol engine. It sits in the base of the air-valve piston and moves within the jet, its machined profile setting fuel flow against piston lift to control the air-fuel mixture.
Which vehicles use this SU carburettor needle?
This needle fits the SU twin-carburettor 3.5L V8 petrol Land Rover Defender and the Range Rover Classic 1986-1991 up to VIN HA610293. Both run the SU carburettor setup. Confirm your engine has SU twin carbs rather than Stromberg or EFi before ordering.
When should an SU carburettor needle be replaced?
A worn SU needle usually causes a rich or uneven mixture, rough idle and poor fuel economy as the tapered profile wears against the jet. Replacing the needle, often along with the jet, typically restores correct metering. The needle profile must match the carburettor specification.
