Subject: "The Retrieval" Date: Sun, 19 Jan 97 07:54:55 -0600 From: "Keith W. Cooper" <kwcooper@aristotle.net> To All- My Land Rover saga begins next week. I will be traveling to Orlando, Florida (one-way flight) to retrieve a 1965 SIIA SW (2.25 Diesel) that from many pictures and endless hours of telephone discussion with the owner (and advice from nearby friends) is in great condition. In fact, you can see the pictures of this vehicle on our club web-page (address below). If everything with the vehicle is as promised, I will be driving the beast back home to Little Rock, Arkansas. With my Rovers North catalog and a cellular phone in hand, the journey will begin the evening of Jan. 29th and last approx. 18 loud, slow, diesel, land rover hours. The engine has been rebuilt within the last 1500 miles, but still top speeds are said to max out around 50-55. My path will take me from Orlando to Atlanta, then on to Birmingham,AL, over to Memphis and then into Little Rock. I have noted the Land Rover dealerships along the way, but would like the names of any good rover mechanics along my path, as well as any advice from you seasoned veterans of long Land Rover highway trips. Thanks and if anyone sees a dark brownish-green '65 SIIA with a tropical roof and spare on the bonnet by the side of the road or even worse, in a ditch by the road, please at the very least just stop and say hello.

If you look at the center of the pivot, you'll notice that it's a large bolt-head. Undo it, and the pivot will come right out of the center of the lever assembly. Grease it and your problems will most likely clear. As far as oil changes go, it's simple. The drain plug on the OD is at the very bottom - it's a large bolt-head. The fill port is on the (sitting in the driver's seat anmd looking down through the center of the box) left side - it's the thing you take out to check the oil The OD takes 3/4 pint of 90-weight. If you haven't changed it, do so. It's the quickest path to OD longevity.

Date: Sun, 19 Jan 1997 16:31:12 +0100 From: Luc Rokegem <defender@belgonet.be> Subject: SIII Heater Solution ! Ok I try to explain it better : On the early Series engines the water from the engine to the heatermatrix comes from the rear off the engine. That is not a very good solution, because you don't have much flow from the rear. Second disadvantage is that the water has not fully heated up, because it has not crossed the head. Thats why you have to take the water off from the front off the engine. It has passed all holes in the engine and is ready now to be send to the radiator and you have on that point also maximum pressure. The problem on the early engines is that the thermostathousing is not designed to take the water off and thats the reason why you have to buy a unit from a 2.5 TD or 2.5D Now you have maximum pressure and heat and now it is time to send it to the heater. The first obstacle that the water finds is a tap from where you can cut the water off to the matrix. This tap is to small to send a lot off water in so you have to buy a larger one. To achieve maximum heat you double the heatermatrix by putting a second one in front off it and connect the two together. The blower has sufficient power to force the air to the thickness radiator. You must also take the pipes as big as possible because you want to send as much water to the matrix as possible, so you can transfer a lot off heat from it. I hope I explained it now better and as soon as I see my friend I ask some more deatails and let you now; regards, -- ____________ // | | Luc Rokegem ____//___| |# http://www.belgonet.be/~bn000165/index.html | _ | | _ |# defender@belgonet.be |_/ \|____|___/ \__| ex-army 110 \_/ \_/ my next one = Lightweight with 2.5 Td/5-speed ------------------------------[ <- Message 8 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970120 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

My Series III 88" has one, very useful in snow, as the car doesn't get bogged down just there where you can't get in with a shovel! My 88 is a Icelander, of which 5 were inported to Denmark. I don't know if this was just an option for Iceland/Scandinavian countries, but I haven't seen a skid plate on any other series truck (except another 88 Icelander) and my 109" doesn't have one. The Icelander seems to be a stock series III with a few extras, some of which are found on other series III's - like insulation in the cabin roof, the seat box, and firewall, lower ratio gearbox, skidplate, towing hook eyes on the front forks, large rectangular windows in the sides... I haven't a clue as to how much they cost in the early 80's. but it would eb easy to make one yourself - or any tractor workshop could handle the job for you. Also has the advantage that a slight leak in the gerabox doesn't result in a pool on the workshop floor or driveway, it just accumulates with the mud on the topside of the skidplate - which aslo prevents the plate from rusting :-) Hope this info helps! -- Adrian Redmond --------------------------------------------------- CHANNEL 6 TELEVISION DENMARK (Adrian Redmond) Foerlevvej 6 Mesing DK-8660 Skanderborg Denmark --------------------------------------------------- telephone (office) +45 86 57 22 66 telephone (home) +45 86 57 22 64 telefacsimile / data +45 76 57 24 46 mobile GSM (EFP unit) +45 40 74 75 64 mobile GSM (admin) +45 40 50 22 66 mobile NMT +45 30 86 75 66 e-mail channel6@post2.tele.dk HoTMaiL (www.e-mail) channel6denmark@hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------[ <- Message 14 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970120 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

The only reason would be if you were riveting structural parts and not only body panels on the non monocoque L-R. Tooling comprises of one person with a heavy metal lump pushing against the head of the rivet while you whack the otherside flat with another heavy object (no not your neighbours head!). Like in the old cartoons... If you want to go the whole way get rivets that need a heat treatment first! As a matter of interest, most aircraft are popped nowadays. This includes aircraft such as the Gen.Dyn. F16 that can pull 9g's in a tight manoever. The pop rivets don't pull the whole metal pin through like the types used on the L-R, but at a predetermined tension the metal pull pin breaks and locks itself in the center of the rivet. The official name for this type of bolt is lockbolt. The more wellknown names are: cherry rivets, Joe bolts, avdel (english). (if my memory server me correctly).

I still have a Sinclair ZX Spectrum, it spills bits and bytes on my floor (especially when loading from tape) it has been completely taken to bits many times. It's slow, doesn't runmodern sofware but with a bit of practice you gan easily get it to do just about anything (except speed up). Parts are easy to find and accesories must be hand built to fit. It has a clumsy user interface that often breaks down, and it has been known to emit PoD smoke and stop.

His "new green Land Rover. Easy to spot out here" was found with "nothing stolen ... it still had an expensive audio system in it, spare tire, everything still there." (pages 19-20) Does anyone know of other literary Land Rovers - no matter how improbable? Should Mr. Hillerman receive a nasty letter from BMW for trademark infringement, as Imus did from Chrysler for using "jeep" in God's Other Son? Also, AutoWeek has a undisguised picture of the "baby" Land Rover on page 6 of the January 13, 1997 issue. Better yet the same page has a story on the FUNMOG (Unimog as SUV).

For one they paid twice as much for half the machine, half the clock speed, half the RAM, half the disc space. But as someone else said, pretty soon they will be driving a PC too. Unless they want to be like some folks who think Atari is going to make a comeback. Just look at the cost of software and hardware for each. I have driven both ( kinda biased, I built my own machine in 1984 at age 19) and think they (Macs) are great machines for their purpose, games and word processing. NeXt? right Copeland? dead... But buy up as much Mac stack as you can, When Silicon Graphics, Sun or maybe HP buys them you can make a killing on the investment.

WRT the use of silicone fluids, I heartily reccommend it...*if* you are starting with a clean system. Silicone is "not compatible" with any other fluid. (What happens, cold fusion? critical mass? I dunno.) When I rebuilt my system if first removed all the seals and pistons. Drained the master cylinder dry, then pumped 95% isopropanol through the lines. Then I took the MC off and blew the lines dry with compressed air. I used generic, American-made seals ($.25 each), washed and reused the dust cups and rebuilt the dual master, all for $21. Four pints of silicone cost $28, though. Silicone is not hygroscopic like Castrol LMA. WRT access to the clutch master cylinder, I find it easier to pull the wing. Hovever, I've seen several Rovers modified so that the top rear corner of the wing has this little hinged door so all you have to do is unfasten one bolt.

There's one very readable novel with lots of Land-Rover content, namely _Running_Blind_ by Desmond Bagley. It takes place in Iceland, all over the place, which is also pretty unusual in a novel. Sort of a spy/love story with some good twists. Also read another Bagley novel called _Windfall_ which took place in Kenya and, oddly, had almost no Land-Rover content. Go figure.
