It was quite nice and packed with lots of features. The internal moving map is okay while on main roads, but the different chips for different locations are expensive. Off road the maps don't have to much detail as expected. The unit tracks 5 satellites where some of the newer units track 12 for better coverage under heavy tree canopy. The Lowrance cost around $650 if I remember correctly. I think you would be better off with the Garmin 12XL and a good external antenna. IMHO.

I'll be the first to admit, I'm a fan (not a fanatic) but I am just curious. Second, and I think this should be good for a Novers Rorth mug: I think the military vehicle JB uses to escape from the bad guys in _The Living Daylights_ (NO discussion as to the quality on the JB scale of this film please) is a disguised 90. Clues: windscreen wiper lever, interior controls for the front vents, windscreen hinges, placement of lights, shape of bonnet, rear tailgate latches (actually look like Series pieces), cleverly disguised (with corregated steel) "hips" of rear body tub, and shape of windscreen frame.

From: Paul Quin <Paul_Quin@pml.com> Subject: Various & Sundry Date: Fri, 19 Dec 1997 09:04:50 -0800 I went out for lunch with a friend (Sussex) who owns a '69 IIA 88. As we were cruising back up the highway, we started talking (shouting) about the various noises and rattles that were assaulting our eardrums. The worst seemed to be coming from the transmission (go figure) so I started poking around trying to locate the source, tilting my head like a dog watching TV. I took hold of the Hi/Low transfer lever (red knob) and pushed it to the side, and low (pun) and behold, the rattling stopped! The difference was startling! The noise level must have dropped by 20-30%! We could actually hear wind noise! (80 km/h) So much of the racket was coming from one set of linkage. Give it a try, next time you're on the highway but be careful not to pull the transfer box into neutral! We'll have to try and tighten up or secure the linkage a bit with rubber bushings or something, any suggestions? For the Canadians on the list: Went Christmas shopping at Wally-Mart here in Victoria and found lots of Castrol Glycol based brake fluid. $3.99 per 500ml. Stocking Stuffers! On my '61 Series II 88 there are two sets of clips behind the seats on the bulkhead. One is obviously for the hand crank (missing). What is the other set for? A wheel brace (wrench)? Bulkhead comes back from the shop today! Off to Vancouver tomorrow with my Landy parts list to visit a few parts suppliers! Then down to Seattle for a Seahawks game.

It's a long (three feet?) square rod with a bulge at one end to fit into the socket on the jack and a large open ring on the other end to slip in the wooden handle for turning the rod to operate the jack. The ring is reduced on one side so that the wooden handle (which has a bulge in the middle) will slip in from the other side and then stop in about its middle.

Most likely the anti-rattle spring has fallen out. There is a small strip of metal in between the lever and its socket, that keeps the rattle to a minimum. These cost about $.65US. Mine fell out shortly after I replaced it, but the noise isn't so bad now with the overdrive. >We'll have to try and tighten up or secure the linkage a bit with rubber >bushings or something, any suggestions? I've also seen some folks wrap a rubber bungee from the bulkhead, around the lever and back. Or what I used to do, lay a jacket over the whole hump on long trips.

Later SIs shared a fair amount with SII and early SIIA, but early SIs had a number of unique parts. In the UK Dunsfold has purchased a huge stock of ex-MOD SI parts. Craddock is another major supplier. PA Blanchard has reasonable amount of ex-MOD SI parts.

Date: Fri, 19 Dec 1997 20:39:37 -1000 From: Faye and Peter Ogilvie <ogilvi@hgea.org> Subject: Re: Weber carb screen. I wouldn't count on the screen at the weber for protection against gunk. For one thing they are very easily damaged and it probably has holes in it. Does any one know of a replacement source for these filter screens??? If you have junk that near the end of the fuel chain, you've also got it in the carburetor. The fuel pump strainer is fine for removing water and boulders but won't take out the fine stuff that can clog jets and passages in the carb. The in line filters works pretty well but will clog quickly if presented with significant quantities of dirt and will still let the finer junk through. The cannister fuel strainer that came on the series III solved my bad fuel problems on my 109. The only problem is that I could have bought 40 in line filters for the price that I got nicked for that one filter. If you have a crudded up tank or dirty gas, the most effective filter would be a diesel filter like the racor. They are very little more than the series III type of filter and will also remove water. Depending on how much you value your labor or enjoy crawling under your rover when the filters clog and leave you fuel starved on the shoulder, a new tank may be in order. When I bought my 109, it had been sitting in an arid, wind blown, region noted for its fine red dust. It took months for that dust to get filtered out of the system. I flushed the tank for hours with a hose. Soaked it in simple green, drained more than 30 gals of gas out of it and the red dust still kept coming. My 1970 sat for several years while I got it together to rebuild the engine. When finally back on the road, the tank had grown rusty. A filter a day for a week and then 2 a week and then one a week, etc. for several months. When I finally got the crud filtered out, the tank began to leak. Would have been a whole lot less trouble and certainly a lot less stress if I had just changed the tank along with the engine. If you are having problems with junk in your fuel, you should assess the condition of the tank. You might save your sanity by buying a new one.

I looked, and what was in my parts manual doesn't match the Rovers north catalog, but the numbers may well have changed in the last 25 years. The pre-Late sIIA lenses are not unique to land-rovers, so even if you can't get it the green and white box, you probably can get one from one of the places that sells parts for LBCs. david ------------------------------[ <- Message 44 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 971220 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
