Hi all, Well after months (nay, years really!) of talking about it I finally took the plunge and put my money where my mouth was ... I'm now the proud owner of a roadworthy (apparently!) '62 IIA 88" hardtop with a 2.25 petrol lump. I must be mad, but its going to be fun and undoubtedly expensive over the next few years, what the hell ... Anyway, apart from some absolutely amazing wiring (the previous owner must have had shares in 3M, judging by the number of connectors!), it's drivable. It has 5 months to run on it's current MOT, but I'm debating whether to use them up and then rebuild, or take it off the road now and start the rebuild now. I'm leaning toward a quick fix of some problems and enjoy the summer before rebuilding ... One or two questions :- Mine was fitted with a 2.25 diesel until approx. 18 months ago, at which point the owner swapped in the alternative petrol lump, it runs well, so I'm hoping it's good (done about 10k miles). My question is regarding what type of replacement engine was fitted. On a quick scan yesterday, I could'nt find any engine number (as I have'nt de-gunked it yet, I'm not too worried), but the head is marked with an ERC5899CA code then a ringed name, and a large number 5, just above the exhaust ports. Any ideas? So far the transmission feels/looks/sounds quite good. It leaks, like there's a surprise! Anyway, I'll know more when I get it up on the stands in the next day or two. According to the VIN I found mines quite an early IIA (24100616A), and my plans basically at this point are a strip and rebuild (the chassis looks real good so far), re-bush, re-springing (the diesel springs are wrong and are shot), re-wire (new loom for sure!), steering and brakes need some work, mainly drift on the steering and poor brakes (maybe I'll go for SIII servo'd setup). I'm sure that the body then needs work, the bulkhead is ex-army I think, maybe even SIII, and will need patching (not footwells or door hinges, which seem to be sound!), and a new dash, the current is a horrible wood thing! My intention being to make it a soft-top with a full length canvas (I'll freeze ;-), as the HT is a fibreglass affair. Anyway, any advice for a mad Welshman, contemplating many long dark cold nights rebuilding his dreams! BTW, any body want a fibreglass HT, two fibreglass rear doors, and maybe a nice bullbar (flat Simbar I think), I might be persuaded to part with them ... -- Craig ,,, Wot, NO mountains! ======================oOO=(o o)=OOo=================================== Craig Morgan (_) Senior Lecturer, CS Group School of Computing Email: C.Morgan@soc.staffs.ac.uk Staffordshire University Phone: +44 (0)1785 353466 Beaconside Fax: +44 (0)1785 353497 Stafford, UK ST18 0DG Pager: +44 (0)839 453754 "It's the downhill thrills, that make the uphill slog worthwhile..." ====================================================================== ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960430 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Good Luck Mike The parts catalog sounds like a good idea... Well, the deed is done... This Saturday, I drove the Green Car, my '72 SeriesIII 88, from Washington DC to a small garage in Riverdale MD. This would be it's last journey on it's original chassis. Ron O'day and I made the drive out, him following in his 74 SIII. We ate breakfast and sat about, getting the garage ready and waiting for our "guests to arrive. Around 10 am we were joined by Larry Smith from Virginia and his friend Ron Swindell. Larry has a Series III that is one month older than mine, and Ron is looking for a 109 Station Wagon. We took a few last snapshots of the Green Car, and then set upon the old girl with our tools of destruction. The first order of business was to grind off the frozen, rusted lock that held the tire on the bonnet. A symbolic act indeed. Next came the bonnet itself and then the rear door and roof. Moving along swiftly, we were joined by Bill Adams, whose arrival was signaled by the high compression clanking of his 109 diesel station wagon. Bill's 109 is a nice example and served us well during the course of the day, as it was pressed into service for "hauling meat". That's Roverspeak for going to pick up pizza. Anyway, Bill was delighted by the opportunity to tear into a vehicle without having to think about putting it back together, so I assigned him to remove the seatbox. His first comment was, "Gee Dave, your frame really sucks!" His enthusiasm was quickly washed away :) and replaced with comments such as, "I'm never doing this for you again, Bobeck". Hopefully he won't have to! Col. Smith and the two Rons continued to work on the rear tub, which after a little huffing and puffing came away nicely. I was still fussing about with the wings and various other details. I basically felt like I was in the way as these trained killers descended on my poor little Green Car. The bulkhead mounting bolts proved to be fairly difficult, and neither one of them came off without taking part of the frame or bulkhead along with it. The bottom mounting points of both doorposts chose to remain with the frame. Next, it was on to the driveshafts, and then Bill did a fine job rigging up the engine and gearbox to the hoist, and out they came. We started Bill's video camera rolling as Ron S. fired up the Oxy/Acetylene rig to cut through the spring hangers and U-Bolts. Soon both axles were sitting on the drive, and the last item was the steering relay, which refused to leave its hole in the frame, so we chopped out that section and I'll take it somewhere to have it pressed out. At last, all the panels were stowed away up in the rafters, and the old rotted hulk that used to be my daily driver =:-o sat forlorn in the driveway. One highlight of the day was when a fellow with a late model GM sedan stopped by to ask if any of us did bodywork, and we responded by brandishing a large hammer and asking him to tell us what he needed. He got a little advice from Larry after we stopped laughing and then drove off, probably glad to be leaving. Overall the process took about 8 hours, including a little standing around and a good lunch break, and I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like to attempt this myself or with just one other person. Mr. Swindell's torching abilities were crucial and I'm sure he was quite happy for the opportunity. Everybody paid lots of attention to detail, replacing bolts in their hole where possible, and marking wires which were to be separated. I did find few odd bolts on the ground while sweeping up, but that's where the Land-Rover "adventure" philosophy kicks in. So this week, after I find a place to live for the next year (first things first) I'll start up again. I've got to finish painting the frame and get the axles cleaned up and painted, then get everything rolling and start running brake lines and take the radiator(s) in and get the last few parts I need and rebuild the gearbox and weld up the bulkhead and...stay tuned. Thanks to Bill Adams, Ron Swindell, Larry Smith and Ron O'Day for lending a hand where it was desperately needed, and for Chris Stevens who has been kind enough to share some of his equipment. Mark Talbot and Dave Mckain who provided tons o' parts, and all others who have inspired me to do something this ridiculous. I wont go into detail as far as how many slabs were consumed, but lets just say I owe the guys a few. Cheers Dave "Who are these people and why am I letting them take apart my car?"

Started out without the Land Rover from college(did not want to hurt my baby which has a mint body or should I say HAD a mint body). We took a 87 Nissan and a 86 Toyota which has a lift kit along with a few cases of beer. We started down a muddy trail with mud and beer flying everwhere. But the trip was short(only about a 1/4 mile and the Toyota was stuck nose first in a culvert with the back wheels about 4 ft in the air. The nissan which I was riding in did not have the ability to pull it out. So every one turned to me because they knew I had a Rover. So we turn the Nissan around and back to school we went without the Toyota. I got into my 1970 IIA 88 after engauging the lock outs and off to through the mud I went. We tried hooking both the Rover and the Nissan together to the Toyota. We still could not move him out. We where in the bottom of a gully so either way we pulled it was up hill in slick mud. I look at my winch on the front of my Rover which does not work but does has a 100ft of cable. I ended up driving through the gully(almost did not make it) up the other side to the top of the hill and unwinding the cable and used it as a big tow chain. It worked I pulled the toyota out all by myself. after getting the nissan across the gully we all headed down the power line service trail. (Lots of Mud) The Rover was needed one more time to pull the Toyota off a fallen tree that he thought he could get over. End up destroying his bumper trying to push him over the tree. No damage to mine (and there are a few of you that know what my bumpers look like). We where about 5 miles back when we decided to go back. All of us raced back and almost over a cliff that no one would have survived. Quick shift in reverse and we saved ourselves. I then proceded to clean my pants out. After we all got back to college with all of our vehicles cover with mud so that the color was undectable and no beer. We ascess the damages. The Rover took a beaten. I kind of destroyed the sill under the driver door. Their aint much left of it. And I also lost my stainless steel exhust system. Actual I have it but it is in the back seat. It did not matter though I had a good time. The guys all thank me for my Rover because triple A would not have pulled him out. Once again a Land Rover saves the day or should I say Land Rovers Rule.

From: Harincar@mooregs.com (Tim Harincar-MS) Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 10:46:52 -0500 Subject: Frame Replacement Log, 16 Log 16 Little stuff. Three nights were lost because I had to take an unscheduled business trip to Knoxville. I would have tried to get together with someone from the list, but I didn't have enough time to prepare properly. Oh well... I spent a couple nights removing and re-attaching the throttle linkage. Here's a tip for those replacing their bulkhead - put as much of the linkage as you can on the bulkhead *before* attaching it to the frame. Working around the motor made it take twice as long. I also took this opportunity to tighten it all up. I had some slop in the linkage before - the only time it would drop to idle is if I put my foot under the pedal and lifted - and it would stick, too. So I hope now it will behave much smoother. The PO's idea of lubricating the linkage was to periodically hose it all down with WD40, so it had a really nice coating of dirt and grime on it... I attempted to but the parking brake assembly back on, but the frame has a different attachment style for the linkage :-( So, for now, I too will be without a handbrake. Fortunatly, I didn't use it much anyway, but I'll toss a wheel chock in the back just in case. I'll likley need to rebuild the whole brake anyhow, and replace the seal while I'm at it, so maybe later in the summer. I also put the driver's footwell plate on, and attached the master cylinders. I replaced the pedal pads on all three, and painted the pedal arms, too. New return springs as well. Once the cylinders were on, I ran the last two hard lines. I need to attach the new reservoir next, but I'm still waiting for a line from RN. Sigh... Oil pressure and temp guage was reinstalled and connected. Had to put a new hole in the bulkhead for that. I'm going to have more holes in the bulkhead - I'm never going to be warm next winter (or this summer, if things don't improve soon - highs only around 50 for last week and this one). In-line fuel filter was changed. Radiator and breakfast were assembled and reinstalled. That lower hose is a pain in the bum to put on. Another tip - if the radiator is off, attach the hose to the water pump *first,* then put the radiator on and attach the hose to the radiator. It would have made it a lot easier to do it in that order. Breakfast got a new bonnet cloth strip. Top and windshield go back on tonight. Then its flush & fill the cooling system and, god willing, fire it up for a test check (if the battery isn't dead). Obviously, no test driving until I get the brakes done :-( Wings are next, and I'm looking for an aluminum shop to repair corrosion damage (to the mudshield mounts). Getting close.

From: Harincar@mooregs.com (Tim Harincar-MS) Date: Mon, 29 Apr 1996 12:14:37 -0500 Subject: LRO Shop Advertising Hi all, So far I've recieved two advertisments from LRO shop via email (as I'm sure most of you have as well, given the 'to' list in my header). I for one have sent a polite but firm request to be removed from this list. I suggest others to do the same if you find this annoying. More importantly, however, I find this a gross misuse of the the 'who' list for the group, or even just skimming the email addresses from the posts, whichever they are doing. I think we ought to consider if the 'who' list should be available to just anyone. This was discussed a short time ago, I know, but it seems to be getting worse quickly. My personal opinion is that all advertisments of a commercial nature should be done either through the list itself (if we agree thats acceptable), or via the web. I think Mike Smith is a pretty good example of a person who can maintain a corporate presence without it being advertising. His saying "Hey everyone, I got a couple of used frames if anyone is in the market..." is not really considered a 'commercial' as much as posting useful information. Plus, Mike is a *contributor*, and to me that means he gets a lot more credit and a lot more slack if he did want to plug his business. If the LRO shop posted a note saying "Hi everyone, we now have copies of a guide to driving accross africa. Send email or hit this web page for all the details." or somehting similar under about 4 lines, that would be acceptable to me. Comments?

I'm tentatively in the market for an 1967 (approx) vintage 109. I want a 6 cyl. I am going to be doing a great deal of highway driving. My daily commute is about 110 miles, and I only offroad about once a year for three weeks. I have been informed about overdrives, galvanized frames, broken axles, wimpy heaters, and the like. I want any info anyone can give me about where to start looking for basket cases I may be able to rebuild. I live in Indiana, closer to Chicago, IL than anywhere. I am willing to travel for parts. I want to build a 200,000 mile plus vehicle. I have access to a nearly infinite variety of machine tools. Anyone who can help or direct a virgin, please write at: Robot 10@aol.com Thanks! ------------------------------[ <- Message 22 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960430 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

There's no cheap way to do it; it will probably cost you $125 - 150. You need to get a real (certified) appraiser to do it. What helps is if you do as much of the legwork yourself as you can. Here's what I did: Get any local "experts" (club officers, mechanics, notable LR personalities) to write you a letter stating what they think it's worth. Save and highlight any adverts for vehicles similar to yours. Ask BP, RN, ABP, etc. for their lists of vehicles for sale. Check local ads. Make copies of past Aluminum Workhorse listings of vehicles for sale. Make a list of features of your vehicle that add value to it, and, if possible, document their exact value. For example, items such as a Winch, overdrive, or 10-cd changer increase your vehicle's value. The more of this sort of thing you can push in his face, the better. It makes the appraiser's job that much easier, which means he may not charge you as much, and will be more likely to come up with the amount you're looking for. Hope this helps! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad sinasohn@crl.com that none but madmen know."

Date: Tue, 30 Apr 96 16:26:59 EST From: James Carley <carley@manly.civeng.unsw.EDU.AU> Subject: Axle casing crack The front differential casing of my 1985 110 has a small hairline crack in the vicinity of where the bulbous front cover of the differential is joined (welded?) to the housing, below the oil level. It was first noticed as an increased oil leak (pool on ground). At first I thought it was the pinion seal, which I knew did have a very minor leak, however after a cleanup I found this small weeping crack (~15 mm/ half inch long) only noticeable by the oil leaking from it. What can I do? Someone told me to file it out a bit and fill with "DEVCON" an epoxy based metal filler. Is the metal anything special with respect to welding (my preferred option structurally).
