I'm a bit confused TeriAnn.. I have a '71 VW Westfalia and the camper top is hinged at the front. The pre-1968 Westfalias had the top that popped up vertically. As to the Dormobiles, the only VW I've examined up close was a 1970 - and I took a good look at it in comparison to the Westfalia. The Dormobile top is the same design as the one used on the 109 but as to the dimensions, I couldn't say. You probably could adapt the Westfalia fiberglass & canvas to the 109 but the only thing you would gain is a bit of headroom with the top up. The bunk that goes with it is only about 5 1/2 feet long and unless you are short is pretty cramped. Another point to consider is that the Westfalia top is actually two sections.. the hinged front part and a fixed rear part which serves as a small luggage rack and provides for a "weather-tight" seal with the whole mess closed up. Good luck with it, whatever you do.

Date: Wed, 12 Oct 1994 08:44:29 -0400 From: maloney@wings.attmail.com (maloney) Subject: Mid Atlantic Rally I got back from the Mid Atlantic rally Monday and what a great time. On the trip down I caravaned with Ben Smith in our last hurrah before he leaves for CA this week. I sure will miss him. Aside from my leading us miles out of the way to get gas and depositing my gas cap at one of the stations, the trip down was pretty uneventful. I did discover that my CB doesn't receive worth a damn. I got plenty of exercise push starting Ben's Rover at each gas and one rest stop. Unfortunately for Ben the only starter for sale at the rally looked pretty poor with dirt on the Bendix gear and shaft. Once I arrived Mike_____, the landowner, was kind enough to lend me an extra cap as none of the vendors had any. I'll be sending it back shortly in better shape than I got it and with a new seal. There were quite a lot of Rovers and 10, YES 10, LRO internetters in attendance. The list consisted of: JEFF BERG- Immaculate Marine blue IIA 88 Softtop restoration RUSS BURNS- Metallic blue Range Rover SANDY GRICE- Marine blue 88 with roof rack and dual jerry cans on the back JOHN HUMPHRIES- Very straight white IIA 109 PU w/big bloody winch & Lassie MIKE LODICE- Rabbit that kept dieseling the whole weekend & darkplugs BRUCE MCERNEY- With a Rover car (2000 ?) MYSELF- Royal blue IIA softtop BEN SMITH- Rugged Marine blue III 88 hardtop with roofrack & Warn winch ANDREW STEELE- Blue-Grey Range Rover and big tan Rover dog KEITH STEELE- Marine Blue III 88 since new with a burned exhaust valve. He spent a good deal of time troubleshooting a dead cylinder then found the exhaust valve on #1 had negative clearance. I hope he made it home to Michigan OK. I posted him a note yesterday and haven't heard back yet. I think this may have been the largest gathering of LRO netters so far. It was really neat being able to connect the names with the faces. Dixon Kenner was noticeably absent, but 7 other Canadians were in attendance bringing 4 Rovers. It has been said that Dixon once hooked a chain to a wheeless Saab and pulled it around a campground at 2:00am. You'd think he could have pulled his wheeled Saab across the border. Steve Denis was AWOL. I assume he was on one of those social trips to VT that weekend. Russ Dushin was also missing. Must have been out doing the rumba with Brookiekins. Russ, you should have been there. Your fancy footwork on the dance floor would have served you well dancing through the minefield of dog turds randomly placed about the tents, parking and catering area. Yes there were dogs. Lots of them. Sandy's, Andrews, and John's seemed to be the only dogs that were kept tied up. One of the two Disco owners went to great lengths to set up their campsite VERY neatly. Everything was just so. They brought out one nice green folding chair and placed it at a 45 degree angle under their awning. Then another nice green folding chair was placed under the same side of the awning 45 degrees in a converging direction. It was so cute. Then one of the dogs came up and hosed down the chair... and got a boot in the ribs. It was difficult to keep a straight face. Another dog got a boot trying to spray a chair with someone in it. One more dog got a boot going after a kitten on a string. I don't think I would have been so kind had the kitten been mine. Friday night was fun getting acquainted with faces both old and new. Sandy kept Land Rover videos going for all who were interested. One was a LRNA tape showing tips for dealers on developing sales tactics for Defender 90s. One method was to get the customer excited about the fun aspect of the vehicle, then close the sale before the customer considered the reality of owning a canvas topped truck. Definately not for public viewing, but very interesting. It was a surprisingly cold night for camping. Another "throw all the clothes in your bag on top of your sleeping bag" night. Saturday morning Bruce McErney of British Rovers provided some worthwhile tips on improving Land Rover performance and fuel economy. Steve Johnson of Dixieland Rovers arrived with a trailer full of parts. Another vendor arrived with a second trailer full of parts. Unfortunately, no bargains were found at either. After lunch came the trials course. A rather twisty path through the woods with a stream crossing and a small mud hole. There was a substantial dip at the entrance and as I passed a log there were lined up on it a neat row of Range Rover bumper end caps that had parted from their parent vehicles. The stream crossing was fun. Choose your angle then give it a little gas to get your momentum up, cross and regain control before plowing into a pile of people. Ben was stationed at this point to pull the Range Rovers out of the stream. Very enjoyable and if you were careful nothing got damaged. But not everyone was careful. One of the 110s creased a rear quarter panel, a Range Rover shattered its air dam, a 109 blew 2 (bald) tires and a couple of others bumped into trees. As you came off the course there was a section of logs set up so that alternate wheels were articulated at the same time. Then up and over a 4' mound to the finish line. I believe the winner was the Series 1 and the prize was a Camel Trophy lighter and something else I've forgotten. Sandy said he saw me stop and back up at one point. This clearly shows how urgently he needs new glasses. That evening there was a barbeque dinner of ribs, pork (?) on a bun (very good, whatever it was), hush puppies, Brownies, and other good stuff. A couple of kegs helped quench the parched and a very good bluegrass band kept us entertained by the bonfire (was that John Humphries playing the Banjo at one point?). Good food, good friends, and a good time. Potato cannons boomed into the night (I didn't see one myself, but was told that they consisted of a tube open at one end, a shot of hairspray, a potato, and an ignition source). Later that evening Steve Johnson of Dixieland Rovers entertained us from 2-5am with the sound of his generator powering his flood lamps as his group drank the night away (they also drank the morning, afternoon, and evening away). Sunday before noon was a road rally to get to a catered lunch. It helped to have no rally experience because a fork was a T, a T was an opportunity to turn, and an intersection was the entrance to a plant with a sign saying Employees Only Beyond This Point. The instructions to turn in the direction of East and North were also challenging as I had no compass and it was so close to noon that solar navigation was out. I can't say what it was like because everyone was gone once I reached the finish. Most of the others did enjoy it and I beleive Jeff took 3rd place. Sunday afternoon the teeter totter cometition was held. Very entertaining. I didn't know that Ben was so limber as he contorted himself in an effort to balance his 88 on the contraption. I think he'll be seeing a chiropractor this week. The Series I driver cursed and punched his steering wheel as he stalled his Rover, then dropped his jaw as he realized he was balanced at the top. A small group then headed off to do some serious off roading nearby. In the evening Sandy posted the results of the Feely Meely- a box with several Rover parts inside where you had to reach through a bag to feel and identify the parts. One had "Land Rover Part" listed in each blank, which was essentially correct. Sandy would have none of that, however. I had one rather creative answer that for some reason Sandy would not announce. I've forgotten what the prize was. There were no prizes for creative answers. A silent auction was also held. People wrote their bids on a sheet by the item in question and the highest bidder got the item. If there were 2 or 2 of one item the top 2 or 3 bidders could purchase the items at the highest bid. The items and top bids included (forgive my inaccuracies): Camel Trophy Zippo lighter - $100 (yup, $100 or more was the top bid) Camel Trophy Belts - $22 +(?) Camel Trophy book - $60+ Multi-pick-axe tool - $65+(?) Land Rover enamel sign - $32+ Camel Trophy T shirts - $19 - There were 3 of these and somehow one person got 2 and Ben who should have gotten 2nd choice got the last choice. I can't fault Sandy as he couldn't be everywhere. There may have been others but I can't recall them. A raffle was held for a bike rack and a pull pal, a winching device that digs into the ground as an anchor for the winch. Videos continued as it began to rain on and off into the evening. Steve Johnson thankfully left taking his generator with him. Monday morning I left in convoy with Jeff well before dawn. My CB was next to useless. One thing I learned is that when convoying with another vehicle the trailing vehicle gets the better gas mileage. Even if it has a full roofrack, winch, hardtop, and double plated frame (and the lead vehicle is a softtop). But more importantly, it's less mentally taxing, in that you don't have to keep one eye on the rearview mirror (sorry Jeff, yes I did take advantage of you-it was hard to keep track of you through the canvas top rear window when I was in the lead). After 9.5 hours on the road it was good to get my 1st shower in 4 days. All in all it was a great time and Sandy did an outstanding job of coordinating a rather eventful weekend. I can't wait 'til next year. I don't know if I can say the same for Sandy.

Date: Wed, 12 Oct 94 15:48:04 -0400 From: berg@acf2.NYU.EDU (Jeff Berg) Subject: Re: Mid Atlantic Rally Bill Maloney did an excellent job of describing the "Middy" (Mid-Atlantic Rallye, BBQ & Storm) so I'll just add a few additional comments to his framework. Not to worry, I'll be editing his message so you won't have to reread the whole thing... Everyone will enjoy hearing about my trip down as I took a "little" detour. Having a wonderful time cruising with the top down, and enjoying not being at work, I neglected to exit the Garden State Parkway. I discovered this when I reached the end of the line in Cape May. I always wanted to go there, but by boat, not car. Anyhow, a little with a little back-tracking I was well on my way to my second major mistake of the trip, I-95. The traffic from D.C. to Richmond, VA was absolutely unreal and it soon became obvious that I wouldn't reach the campsite until hours after dark. Instead of driving into a strange camp at night I decided to drive until I got to I-64, and then stop at the first motel I could find. Once on I-64 imagine my joy at discovering that there were no motels prior to the Zion Crossing exit (which lead to the Rallye location.) I elected to drive past this exit and proceed 20 more miles into Charlottesville, a major metropolis which surely had a wide selection of hotels. Indeed it did, but alas there was no room at any of the inns. Feeling much like Joseph and Mary (though not with child) I headed all the way back to Richmond and checked in to the Best Western at 1AM. Up at 5, showered and shaved and hit the road. Absolutely no problems finding the camp site and by chance pitched my tent next to fellow netter Andrew Steele and his faithful dog whose name I never learned. After scarfing down some LRNA provided pastry it was time for the tech session on getting the most out of the 2.25 engine. My 88 became the visual aid for this session. Soon thereafter I met Bill "Monty" Maloney (It's the hat, the pants, the shirt, the LOOK! ;^}) and others. >After lunch came the trials course. I had decided that I wasn't going to drive the trials course. Perhaps after my car has weathered a winter and I've gained some offroad experience I'll try it. At any rate, I was able to catch a ride and enjoyed the experience, albiet vicariously. >I believe the winner was the Series 1 and >the prize was a Camel Trophy lighter and something else I've forgotten. Indeed the S1 was the winner. The oldest car driven by, I believe, the youngest driver. He recieived an entire Camel Trophy prize pack including the much desired (by me) Camel Trophy Zippo. >Sunday before noon was a road rally to get to a catered lunch.

Fortunately, I was able to use solar navigation to find east, and was lucky enough to draw a decent hand, Kings over Jacks with an Ace in the hole. I helped pay my way through engineering school with hands like that, especially in straight (stud) poker. Too bad the other guys were playing draw. There was some card swapping going on at lunch. No complaints though, third was good for a Camel Trophy T-shirt, enamel pin, and a sticker pack. Plus next year I'll be all the wiser... >Sunday afternoon the teeter totter cometition was held. The Series I driver >cursed and punched his steering wheel as he >stalled his Rover, then dropped his jaw as he realized he was balanced at the >top. >of East and North were also challenging as I had no compass and it was so Same guy that won the trials. I think he took third in the Teeter. That Series 1 was truely a great little runabout. As the Teeter contest was going on the S1 guys were running it over the gravel ramp used to complete the trial course -- crosswise! And then across the hill in reverse. He even brought the car to a complete stop on the 45 degree gravel slope and then got it moving again. Amazing! >There were no prizes for creative answers. Though I was heartened that Sandy mentioned my answer for Vehicle with most room for improvement: The Izuzu Amigo that one of the Road rally Marshalls was driving. Did other people vote the same way Sandy? >A silent auction was also held. >Camel Trophy Zippo lighter - $100 (yup, $100 or more was the top bid) >stalled his Rover, then dropped his jaw as he realized he was balanced at the >top. I topped my bid out at $85, which was $20 higher than I planned to go. The woman with whom I'd been exchanging bids all weekend, usually uping the anty by $2-$5 jumped right up to $100 and I decided there was no way I'd scare her off. It turns out she was buying it as a gift for her husband, who is also the guy who won the People's Choice Award with a County 110. Nice truck and nice folks, even if they did get my lighter! (The funny part is I don't smoke, I just light a lot of cigaretts in bars and thought the C.T. lighter might make for interesting conversation.) I'm glad I was able to drive the price paid up though, as all proceeds went to ROAV. Sunday night Bill pointed out that I had a small vacuum leak. He went on to locate and tighten the loose elbow, providing a valuable learning experience in the process. Bill was also generous enough to "loan" me two quarts of oil, as I had burned through all of my spare 20w50 on the trip down. (Rover seems a little thirsty when running at a constant 65.) I spent the latter part of the evening swapping tall tales with Mike, Russ and Ben in the Canadian camp. Great guys all! "Monty" Maloney was already catching ZZZs in his mansion/tent, preparing for an early departure the next morning. >Monday morning I left in convoy with Jeff well before dawn. My CB was next to >useless. >stalled his Rover, then dropped his jaw as he realized he was balanced at the Two suggestions Bill. 1) Ground plane for the antenna, your spare tire/mag mount might not quite cut it. 2) External speaker for the CB. Even a 4" Radio Shack cheapie, like the one mounted in my dash, really makes things sound clearer. Speaking of early Monday morning, we got quite a scare. Bill and I got into our respective trucks. Bill was wearing his "Monty" hat, and I had on my Tilley Endurable "Jungle-Jim" lid. We drive for about 2 hours and decide to take a gas stop. We both jump out of our Rovers and do a doubletake as we notice that we're both now wearing identical Jimmy Buffett/Air Margaritaville "baseball" caps. Apparently we both had "general public" caps stashed away. Then and there I decided we wouldn't go waltzing into any truck stops together. >One thing I learned is that when convoying with another vehicle the >trailing vehicle gets the better gas mileage.

Lead truck is definitely more taxing. Especially when you have to decide whether or not to pass. I definitely could "hear" Bill's curses at some of the decisions I made. Still, I was happy to do it considering his alternate route shaved about three hours off my trip. Besides, it was fun to not travel alone, even if our CB conversation was minimal. And having a top-notch mechanic within sight definitely relieves a lot of the worry that us non-engine savvy types experience. >All in all it was a great time and Sandy did an outstanding job of >coordinating a rather eventful weekend.

And also that it was great to meet all of the netters, Chris Laws and the rest of the Bay State Hooligans, and Bruce Mcerney face to face. It was also gratifying to receive so much positive feedback on the way my truck came out. I think that deep down I'd been dreading the expert response, and apparently in the end I didn't do so bad for a rookie. (Though the guy who designed the ralley t-shirts didn't like the fact that I went with cloth seats...) I'll post some pictures to the Web site soon, as well as send a set off to Sandy.

Subject: A bit of a diesel emergency Date: Wed, 12 Oct 1994 19:56:00 -0700 From: Mike Fredette <mfredett@ichips.intel.com> Howdy, Ok folks, heres our chance to earn our bread and butter. A very nice couple from Austria is here in North America touring the fruited plains in thier 74 Ser lll 2.25 diesel 109. Things were going along fine until about Winnepeg, Canada, when abruptly, the engine lost power on the top end. The symptoms are as follows; the engine idles just fine, and revs to 4000+ RPMs in the first three gears, pulling fairly sluggishly, even for a diesel. The minute you put it in fourth, it loses power, and can only keep the truck moving along at 45-47 MPH. Previously, they were able to cruise comfortably at 65 MPH. It has had the following things done to it. Firstly, the engine was overhauled 60k kilometers ago before they came to NA, barely broken in by diesel standards. Now the list of attempted fixes. Overhauled the distribution pump, twice. The first time, when the pump was bled initially, black oil came out, indicating a failed lower seal, allowing crankcase oil to seep in. This was fixed on the first overhaul and timing, and on subsequent bleedings (sounds gruesome), there was no oil detected, other than diesel oil of course. The injectors have been replaced three times, no help there. The fuel filters have been replaced and even at one point, bypassed by running with a can on the bonnet feeding directly into the distributor pump to see if there was any obstruction in the fuel system.The regular fuel pump was also overhauled and then replaced. The air intake was disconnected at the filter, no help. The exhaust has been disconnected at the silencer, no obstructions, no help. Fuel consumption has increased about 3.5 liters per 100k to 14 liters per 100 kilometers. compression check reveals 490 to 520 pounds across the board, no leak down to speak of, no sticking valves. Valves have been adjusted and the timing cover has been off and the cam timing checked and verified as being correct. No drag in the drive train, ie. dragging brakes, transmission brake, slipping clutch, fozen wheel bearings, etc. All those would be fairly easy to catch by the smell and or noise, but the thing coasts just fine. The injectors were tested also as they were replaced, they spray just fine. Basically, we're out of ideas. HELP HELP HELP all you disel gurus out there. The only possibility I can come up with was that the camshaft has gone flat, allowing reasonable low speeds but falling of at the top end. But this would not be an abrupt change, it would be gradual. The problem came on abruptly. The engine makes no more than the usual diesel coffee grinder noises, ie, nothing that can be identified as being abnormal. SO put on your thinking caps and come up with the brilliant answer folks, a nice Austrian couple is counting on us.

Subject: Mid-Atlantic Rally Date: Wed, 12 Oct 1994 20:58:45 -0700 From: Benjamin Allan Smith <ranger@ugcs.caltech.edu> I had a great time at the Mid-Atlantic Rally. Sandy did a great time organizing it. Not only did I get to winch out Ranger Rovers, but some Land Rovers also needed to be winched out. The Toronto crowd found some dirt roads and fire breaks that provided a lot of challenging track to follow. Not for the feint of heart. I did it all, despite not having a working starter mortor or the ability to use a hand crank. On Saturday, while I was waiting for the trials course to start, I wandered around and took a count of the Rovers present. Here what I saw: 1 SI 80 11 SII/SIIA 88s 9 SII/SIIA 109s 8 SIII 88s 3 SIII 109s 1 110 2 US Defender 110s 8 US Defender 90s 14 Range Rovers 5 Discoveries 1 Rover Car (I forgot to write down the type) 1 Lightweight 1 SIIA 109 Doormobile 1 Range Rover rolling chassis with Land Rover 90 upper parts Which gives a total of 66. Far short of Sandy's total of 80+ vehicles, but I only counted those present at a certain time. Lots of Rovers though. -Benjamin Smith ranger@ugcs.caltech.edu 1972 Land Rover Series III 88 ------------------------------[ <- Message 11 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 941013 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
