From: Mike Rooth <M.J.Rooth@lut.ac.uk> Subject: Land Rover on Film..Again. Date: Mon, 10 Oct 94 11:42:50 BST OK,so you've all seen it before."White Hunter,Black Heart". Clint Eastwood et al.On Channel Four TV (UK) last night. Apart from an immaculate Dakota (DC3,to you),the Land Rover content was *much* better than the plot.(Plot? ummmmm). Made,according to the credits,in Zimbabwe,there was a S1 107 station wagon,minus door tops,a 107" pickup,several 80/86/88" S1,a white 109" station wagon,with a *very* modern looking roofrack,what looked like an ex mil open 109 S11, and the star of the film(Eastwood?whose he?)was a topless S11,or 11A two door 109",sans doors.In fact the camera crew obviously got bored with the film.The 109 was filmed posing against the sunset(lovely shot,that),interior shots over the dashboard abounded,ther were Land Rovers posing everywhere. Thoroughly enjoyed it. Cheers Mike Rooth ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 941011 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

SUBJECT: New L.R. Discovery... 1st 5 days.
Hello all,
It's now been 5 days since I picked up my new truck. And I can now say
that I have my "official Arizona desert brush pinstripes." (OUCH!!!)
Also, first tank of gas: 12 Miles per gallon, and $27 WOW! First
"sticker shock", then "pump shock". Guess I've never really had to use
premium before. ;-) Oh well, that's what credit carcards are for... right???
Anyway... I still LOVE the truck, but have some questions for you "all".
What type of wax or..??? can I use to help prevent brush scratching?
Where can I get a "Tracker/Lojack" (Locates vehicle if stolen)?

Although I, too, was afraid of the Disco's gas mileage, we have been pleasently surprised. After being tipped off by the owners manual that the engine is most fuel-efficient between 2000 and 3000 rpm, we have been very attentive to the tach. Consequently, we have managed 16 in mixed driving, and over 19 mpg on the highway. Thank God for that 5-speed. Peppy, too.

Date: Tue, 11 Oct 1994 00:44:06 GMT From: kjartan@ejs.is (Kjartan) Subject: Oil pressure and synthetic oil Hi Jory, did you get any reply's regarding the oil warning light coming on at idle? My Range Rover '85 is doing the same thing all of a sudden. Slow idle, warm engine light goes on, apply a little gas and it goes off. Im also using synthetic oil and Im a tad worried as well. If somebody gave you an "inexpensive" B^) explanation please forward it to me.

Date: Mon, 10 Oct 94 19:13:35 MDT From: rhcaldw@nma.mnet.uswest.com ( ROY CALDWELL ) Subject: Rovers-TV and Things Since nobody has mentioned it yet, I don't think, a Range Rover finally showed up on Northern Exsposure. I have watched the show since it started and this is the first. It was BRG, four door. Looked to be brand new and Maurice, one of the main characters had it. He was trying to impress a lady of minor Brit Royal blood. Rover was great, Maurice blew a chance at some in-door camping with the lady. Oh well! Enough RR jazz. I am close to putting the head back on my 69 21/4. When I took it apart, like a good boy, all of the head bolts went in a piece of cardboard in the location they came from. However one of my fine black felines decided that that cardboard served a better pourpose on the floor. Now the bolts are mixed up and of differnt lengths. I can't find a ref. as to which goes where.

Date: Mon, 10 Oct 1994 21:29:31 -0500 (CDT) From: David John Place <umplace@cc.UManitoba.CA> Subject: Re: Oil pressure and synthetic oil Before you get to excited about the low oil pressure, I would check the sender and I would put a "real" indicator on the oil galley line. The sensors are often not very accurate. Most times they fail to come on when the pressure drops, but from time to time they come on too soon. Only a good analogue gauge will tell you what is really happening. I have seen American cars that according to their instruction books, can have the oil light come on at idle and this indicates nothing in particular. It must however go out at higher speed to form the lubrication wedge and take away heat at the bearings. I think the old LRs could drop to 15 pounds at about 800 RPM without too much to worry about. At 2000 however under load they better be something like 50 lbs or you have a problem. Mine after I rebuilt it to specs and I used platigauge runs at about 65 lbs at speed and never drops below 50 even when really hot. Like some other owners however, when I do a panic stop, the pressure can drop to near 5 pounds for in instant on the indicator. I know this doesn't mean anything in particular because you can hear the valve train in an engine once it starves for oil. Mine is always quiet except on start up when I get valve noise for about 5 seconds. For peace of mind have a mechanic put a pressure gauge on the engine or better yet, take the valve covers off and see if the oil is sqirting out. It it is getting to the top of the engine, it is getting to the bottom. The only time this rule doesn't hold true is if you have a plugged galley, but in a new engine that is about as likely as winning the Loto :-). One thing people using the synthetics should find out is, does mixing synthetic and ordinary oil cause sludge. Some oils are not compatible and they form a waxy substance. This shouldn't hurt the engine particularly, but it might plug up a galley after time or plug a pressure hole in a gauge etc. Cheers Dave VE4PN ------------------------------[ <- Message 8 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 941011 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
