I got home yesterday evening and decided to crawl under Mr. Churchill with a grease gun and hit up the lube fittings (something do about every oil change or so). Lo and behold, my front propshaft has a missing grease fitting, and that U-joint has 1/4" of play in it..... damn. Thankfully, I had a spare shaft, which after a boot replacement and a lube job plugged into the space vacated by the old one in short order.

From: "Tackley, John" <jtackley.dit@state.va.us> Subject: console Date: Wed, 4 Jun 1997 07:27:07 -0400 I use one that I got last summer at Price Costco for $38. It's black, sits nicely on the center seat and can be easily secured with the center seat belt. Nice cubby with padded cover just the right height for an armrest and 2 drink holders. Trays and such for coins and sunglasses inside. I don't remember how I managed without it. They still carry it. No interference with the OD lever, however you do have to reach around a little. I use it to store lots of stuff, most notably my stereo system. This system is extremely high tech. No costs were spared to put together a system that could actually be heard in a Series truck. Gotta $20 dolla Walkman, w/ cassette, and a $20 dolla Boostaroo box from WalMart that allows multiple headphones to be connected to the Walkman. Wanna keep the passengers happy and groovin too. Best feature is the high tech part, a pair of Noise Cancelling headphones from Noise Cancellation Technologies (203) 961-0500, called :Noisebuster Extreme". I got mine from Brookstone mail order for $69, (800-846-3000), but Sharper Image also carries them (800-344-4444). These babies really work well. They have a control box coupled to 2 tiny microphones in each earphone that monitors ambient sound at your ears. It then sends an exact opposite amplitude signal, effectively "cancelling" the ambient noise by as much as 15db. Imagine driving a Series truck at 65 mph and NOT hearing it ? I'm here to tell ya that ya can spend many hundreds for a high power system, 8 speakers and STILL not hear your tunes as well as with these headphones. And NO I don't have anything to gain here by the endorsement, and I only endorse what I use and really like. If you miss your tunes while driving the greatest 4x4 on earth and already have a walkman, treat yourself to these. ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970605 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Even though their post code wasn't on the web, and so not on the envelope, it was only 11 calendar days between mailing my order and receiving the goods.

How about a comp subscription to the magazine? Seriously, my stock 2A and S3 couldn't quite pull 4250 wide open in fourth when they topped out at about 72mph. How about I give you the formulas and let you figure it out on your own? The basic gearing vs rpm formula is this: MPH X GEAR RATIO X 336 _______________________ = RPM TIRE DIAMETER (INCHES) Normally, you would put the axle ratio in the "GEAR RATIO" area because that what your final drive in fourth gear, 1-1 ratio. Land Rovers use a stepped down high range ratio and you have to factor that in, so the 4.77 (axle ratio) times 1.14 (high range ratio) = 4.18 actual ratio. If you want to figure your rpms in a given gear, you find the ratio of that gear, then multiply it by the transfer ratio and the axle ratio. 3.02 (1st gear) X 1.14 (transfer) X 4.77 (axle)= 17.4 Okay, so you plug that into the formula. 25(MPH) X 17.4 X 336 ____________________ = 4497rpm 32.5 (inches) So at 25mph in first high range you be turning a whopping 4497 rpm and probably regretting it later.

From: "Russell G.

Seems yer all having problems of one sort or another..... Methinks Sandy Grice correctly identified the historical events that led to the claim that dear ol' Nige can transmit, though thin air, his ailments (recent and near future) to any or all series rigs out there with whom he confides without the knowledge or consent of said rigs' owners. (Incidentally, though, it gets worse- he recently tranmitted an electrical ailment to my... uh, shouldn't admit it, but ...BMW.....thus I would caution you all that NO car, truck, or trailer is immune to his ways. I think motorcycles are OK, but can't say for sure since my 19 year old 2-stroke has sat neglected for some time now.) Anyway, I thought that perhaps it would be prudent of me to submit to this list for general review a list of those ailments which have recently been detected and/or corrected and/or soon to be corrected and/or just being let be.... (I'm generally of the opinion that if I couldn't fix something the first time, I'll try again, but after two, maybe three attempts, any non-life threatening ailments should just be left alone....) These, within the last few months: Clutch slave flakyness (not addressed yet, intermittant) Brake master problems (rebuilt, bled, rebled, rerebled, fixed by adjusting the brakes....) R/S tail lamp socket degredation (replaced w/universal unit, problem reappeared on BMW R/S front running lamp within a day) Clogged rear axle breather (FINALLY replaced with fittings and hoses running to the air cleaner) Serious leaks from OD unit (my next problem, I suspect it ain't breathin') Serious leaks from gas tank (repaired in March, time to try again-tank is in fine shape but appears to be leaking from a seam) Completely blown out rear diff pinion seal (replaced with a nice old style leather one) Blown rear U joint in rear propshaft (replaced both rear U joints, front shaft new 2 years ago) Splitting rear leaf springs (5 year old "genuine" pieces of shit, getting replaced, hopefully tonight, with a perfectly acceptable pair of ORIGINAL equipment re-bushed springs) Leaky carb (adds to the fragrance!) Loud squeels from blower motor fan in Smith's shin burner heater (fixed last Novemeber, and this November is a long way off...) Oil pressure sending unit leak (replaced with a kharma insulting SIII type) Leaky front swivel ball seals (replaced twice within the past four years....given up) Dropped muffler (happened on the way to a car wash....shame on me... replaced) Noises diagnosed as loose timing chain (replaced perfectly sound timing chain, idler gear, crank end gear, and cam gear) Noises re-diaganosed as a loose muffler headpipe (hey, it was *barely* loose....tightened just enough to strip the threads....) Flakey speedo needle (fun to watch, but has hypnotic qualities) OK, that's the short list. If any or all of you are experiencing any or all of these ailments in your rides, I gotta tell ya that there's absolutely nothing I can do about it. I've tried. I've tried everything. Had the boy exorcised. Leave smoldering spices -especially nutmeg-beneath him at night. Got drunk with him and pushed him off a bridge (he swam back). Sentenced him to two weekends of hard labor dredging a pond. Let him get friendly with a big black snake. Took him trout fishing. Nothin' seems to make him happy. sorry, mates, rd/nige ps CC dushinrg@pr.cyanamid.com on replies as I'm not on the list. ------------------------------[ <- Message 16 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970605 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

How serendipitous, I shall shortly have 2 S1 80"s and will be picking up a shipment including a couple of Wadsworth panels in a week or so. I have a general question on the rivets being discussed. What is the best way for a do-it-yourselfer to install the round head rivets? I need to remove the trim off one 80" (Winston) for regalvanizing and will, obviously, need to rerivet it.

How did you pay Wadsworth? I had a 3rd party (Dingocroft) include the Wadsworth panels in with an order of other parts. They, incidentally "take plastic". WRT checks in pound sterling, I'd use an international money order. It's been a long time since I've used one though.

There are NUMEROUS trails and places to go all over Arizona, and many in the Phoenix area as well. I have a book that shows many of the trails and all the state forest roads that I'd be happy to show you when you get here. PLEASE let me ("us all" in Arizona) know when you get here. There's even an "Arizona" LR list - a spin-off of the LR e-mail list. There are some VERY kind and hospitable people here, and I am POSITIVE that many will want to go off roading with you. My work phone number is 1.602.236-3544 and my home number is 1.602.820.8052 but I will probably be moving before then, and may have a different home number depending on where I move.

From: "Zeigler, Christopher L." <zeiglecl@Maritz.com> Subject: Pinion oil seal Date: Wed, 4 Jun 1997 11:37:02 -0500 I have just recently acquired my first Land-Rover, a SIII 88 and I am planing to replace the rear pinion oil seal. I have never done this before and would appreciate some pointers or tips. Is this a relatively easy task? What other parts should I get besides the oil seal? I have read other posts about the correct orientation of the seal (lips toward the diff) but I am still a little puzzled, is there a retaining ring or something like that? I have the original shop manual but it is not very clear to me, maybe I am looking in the wrong place. Any suggestions before I start? Is there anywhere I can look to find detailed instructions?

If you're planning on attending the Downeast Rally in Maine at the end of this month, I have a couple of suggestions if you or your significant other chooses not to camp. Living on an island and working around northern New England requires plenty of motel room time. Ask for the "Jeffrey Aronson Bedroom." 1. Navigator Motor Inn, Main St., Rockland. Close to Owl's Head, local restaurants and bars. Reasonably priced for the summer season (207-594-2131). 2. Old Granite Inn, Main St., Rockland. Very comfortable, stylish, B&B with huge breakfasts, big rooms, and some great views. Pricier but you'll earn points (if you need them) for your sense of style and asthetics. Near everything important for the weekend. It looks like that, once again, it should be a fun weekend.

From: Land_Rovers@learnlink.emory.edu (Jack Walter) Date: Wed, 4 Jun 1997 18:50:56 -0400 Subject: Re: Values on used Range Rovers 87 Range Rovers (with a few more miles on them) can be had in the Atlanta area for around $8500 if you are willing to shop around. Be sure to inspect the front inner wings, upper tailgate and rear splash guards for signs of corrosion. $10,000 should buy an 89 or maybe even a 90 model if you're any good at browbeating the sales staff. Sometimes if you deal with a car lot that buys a lot of "high-line" vehicles at auction you can get them to work with you and turn a quick but modest profit on a vehicle - most lots love it when they have a buyer already on the hook for a vehicle that will only be on their books for a day or two. most of us would be really upset if we found out what you can really buy a Range Rover for! Quite a few of these beasts seem to go through the Orlando, Florida auction and Range Rovers have traditionally depreciated like rocks so used ones can be picked up relatively cheaply compared to some of the competition. Cheapest that I've seen an 87 that was not completely trashed sell for was $6500 - It was tempting to get that one for a "Trail Truck" and really test the off road abilities of the Range Rover.

I reinstalled the cover and used 4 nuts as levelers then I put 4 more nuts inside the console. I can remove the cover and console if I need to adjust the parking brake. I do not have an overdrive unit. I moved the drink holder over to the right until it was even with the edge of the console.
