You will notice that some entries have 2 contacts listed -- this is because the two magazines do not agree, and I dont think that these people want to be bothered at 10pm on a sunday :-) Greg, I've sorted it into alphabetical order, so it should drop straight into your web pages...

From: "Jurgen Klus" <PSJK@psy1.ssn.flinders.edu.au> Date: Mon, 24 Oct 1994 09:19:54 GMT-0930 Subject: Dual Batteries in the Discovery I haven't fitted a dual battery system to my V8i yet, but I have had a close look at it. There appear to be two alternatives. 1) Cut the inlet pipe off the air cleaner housing, move the power steering reserviour and that round vaccuum thing. Insert a plate for the battery. (I know one person whose done this.) You can't play with the air inlet system too much, as the electronics is expecting the air to be coming in at a certain wavelength. Any mods to the air intake system, e.g. snorkel, must conform to the required wavelength. That's got a bit off the subject 2) Throw out the windscreen washer bottle, put a battery there. I just thought, USA is left hand drive. That might stuff up my ponderings. Maybe not!

[ truncated by lro-digester (was 27 lines)] > Gloversville > NY, 12078 1972 Ser III 88 Petrol (Fern) Actually, what happened was this: I was parked in front of Scotty's shop which was located at the edge of a large, empty field. The nose of the Rover was pointed towards the field, and the ground was slightly sloped down towards it. Scotty told me how to pull out the shafts to check for twisting, and sent me to do it. (gotta learn somehow.) I set the parking brake, and (I think) even put it in gear. The first four bolts came out easily, but the last one seemed to be stuck good. I put my weight into it, and got it loose. As soon as I did, the Rover started moving. I jumped up and tried my darnedest to stop it, but it was just too big. It hit the edge of the field where there was a serious slope, and began picking up speed. There was nothing I could do, but stand there and watch it go. It finally came to rest in the middle of the field, where someone had dumped a bunch of paint. I went inside to get Scotty and find out what happened. He came out and started laughing. Apparently, the parking brake is connected to the transmission, which holds the car in place by making sure the wheels don't move. By loosening the shafts, I had disconnected the wheels from the transmission, allowing them to roll freely. Which they did. *Luckily* the simple solution was to engage 4wd and back it up using the front axles. But I learned my lesson good! --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad sinasohn@crl.com that none but madmen know."

From: "Jurgen Klus" <PSJK@psy1.ssn.flinders.edu.au> Date: Mon, 24 Oct 1994 17:22:54 GMT-0930 Subject: Discovery Trailer Lights Indicator Recently there has been a lot of talk about the Discovery and its post warranty problems. You are just unaware that Land Rover spent millions of pounds to accurately engineer inbuilt redundancy into the Discovery to the nth degree, so that certain items WILL fail within 24 hours of the expiration of the warranty! It is a marvel of modern engineering ability to be so accurate. Its a shame that they only spent 50 quid to get the panels assembled right! JUST KIDDING!!! My turn with trailer indicator light has never worked properly. It works intermittently, when it wants to. Does anyone have the trailer plug connections for the Discovery? Maybe there is a special wiring pattern for the trailer plug, so the dashboard "trailer" light worls? Keep Rovering.
