Subject: Foers Ibex

There was a discussion a couple of days ago regarding the Foers IBEX and I just remembered what a hardtop IBEX looks like and want one, at least at 
the moment B^).
Does anyone have information on: 
   prices for the 110 in.four door hardtop, 
   implications of using Range Rover parts,
   whats included like electrics, darhboard, seats etc. .
   fax number at Foers.
   etc...

Thanks.

Well I have a new commuter vehicle. It is going  to take a some work
to get the noise level down to usable levels.
I have already raised the seat 1.5" for more leg room, and even my
wife who is only 5' thinks this is a great improvment.
To reduce the noise I am hoping the following will help.
1: Hardtop. If LRNA can ever deliver it.
2: Less aggresive tires maybe AT instead of the BF Goodrich MT that
   are installed.
3: Sound deading materials on the bed, and doors.

About 90 frames. Does any one know what this factory wax junk injected
into the frame feels like. The inside of both the RR, and the 90 frames
feel like bare metal to me...

And onto transmissions..
Since this was a demo model it came with the older transmission,
the LT77s(?), and not the RS380(?). after brousing through the owners
manual I noticed the Transmission fluid was ATF fluid. Is this the proper
fluid for older LT77s(?) transmissions?

Also in the manual it states "after washing the vehicle, inspect the 
paint for damage" ( I told you washing ruins the paint).

Well hopefuly with a hardtop, and a little work I will be able to survive
my 100 mile a day commute..

You really are annoying. :-)  I just got my October issue last Friday :-(.  

I called Craddocks just after I got it to order that really cool Land Rover 
watch with the white face and they were all sold out.  The fellow on the 
phone said they have no plans to produce any others (could this have anything 
with LR getting their panties in a bunch about other vendors using the LR 
name/logo?).

Boy, it sure has been quiet lately.  Waterbag, beer, babe, flames, or even 
"Disco, Defender, RR S#!+" messages would be welcome. 

Did anyone learn the name of that x-rated movie where the driver runs his 
Rover into a cliff and, as those British workshop manuals so quaintly put re 
waterpump replacement, "offers himself up" to his female passengers?   
Normally I would NEVER buy a disgusting piece of trash as this, but in this 
case I could make an exception (Was it in english?  Subtitles?).

While we're at it, does anyone know the issue of Playboy where the center 
"spread" was shot in the back of a soft top 88?  I'd like to see if I could 
locate a back issue for my, er, Land Rover Library.

I suppose I should put teh flamethrower away for a few moments.

I pressure wash mine ONCE A YEAR ONLY (in Autumn - before the salt season) to 
minimise possible damage to bearings due to water blast past seals. I do this 
on a dry day, so that nothing is kicked up from the road on teh way home. It 
is then parked till COMPLETLEY dry and then Waxoyled. 

It is then left untouched till next Autumn - except that whenever I am doing 
anything to the lorry - even checking the tyres, if I see any rust, I give it 
a squirt from a little plant sprayer filled with Waxoyl diluted with deisel to 
spray smoothly.

Works for me.

Subject: Fuel Thoughts
Date: Thu, 3 Nov 94 17:04:17 GMT

The recent thread on fuel prices worldwide prompted the following.
A couple of weeks ago,on the weekly trog out to the supermarket,
my wife (ever on the lookout for a bargain)pointed out that we
had just passed(yeah,well,we all have 'em)a filling station with
diesel at 47.9p per litre.So the next week I got filled up there.
Its ELF fuel,French firm I think,and was adverised as reduced odour
(SMELL,Maloney,means it dont pong),reduced emissions,more MPG etc.
Well,the diesel smokes a littl;e less when hot,more when cold,seems
to be a bit more economical,and the fuel certainly doesnt smell much
at all.But.But.Its started spark throwing.Imagine a LNWR G7 0-8-0
doing thirty MPH with 500 tons trailing,transatlantic try a NYC
Mowhawk with four times the load,uphill and you've got the picture.
Much though I love the steam locomotive,I'm not sure I want the Land
Rover to do a passable imitation of a badly drafted example.
I think what is happening is that the fuel is decoking the bloody
thing out of the exhaust pipe.Since I'm a firm beleiver in leaving
a quarter inch of carbon round the piston periphery when decoking,
to keep the seal,I dont think I'll continue with this brand,cheap
or not.I dont think science has yet come forth with an additive that
*will* leave me this carbon ring.And further,if a valve shuts(or trys
to) on one of these lumps of carbon,that's my engine gone.
Hasa anyone else had any odd experiences with modern so called 
hi-tech fuels?

I've seen them beat the piss outa the seals on a two stroke....and
if you recall, dem's neccessary, else you suck air and tranny oil
into the combustion chamber, thence sieze up good.

My two stroke is more or less parked these days (it's in "appreciation
mode") but a bro of mine runs a dozen or so (all on the road) on a
regular basis (even in winter-and you thought *you* had a cold ride).
He goes north for gasoline, just outa the "NY-metro area", where
pollution control isn't a fad yet, to buy the good-'ol (but unleaded)
stuff that just ain't available down here no more.

Subject: Engine not running!

Well here is the story.  My new engine won't run.
This is the situation.  Electrically things are
fine, the plugs spark the points are set and open and 
close, the timing mark is correct with the 1 and 2
valves closed, fuel to the carb and the starter cranking.
Yes the distributer drive dog is pointing at the no. 1
cylinder at TDC.  When I try to start it, it for all
the world sounds like it is trying to fire back through
the carb.  That would indicate that the time chain and 
cam are off.  That has been checked several times.
When I go to TDC the 1 and 2 valves are closed the 
distributer rotor is pointing dead at no. 1. What have
I done wrong?  There must be something!  Help, help,
please??

Mike, 

Thanks for the clarification.  I feel much better now.

Ben Smith and I had a conversation about you before he left for CA.  We have 
a question.  In all of the British shows we see on Public Television here, 
when the Brits go out in the yard or whatever, they are always wearing a 
jacket and tie (and usually a vest or sweater underneath).  Even the farmers. 
 It doesn't matter whether they are plowing fields, shovelling poop, or 
catching bull semen (Yup, I caught that episode of All Creatures.  Very, Very 
funny).  So our question is, do YOU put on your best duds to putter in the 
barnyard, deliver newborn cattle, or better yet, for changing the canister 
oil filter on your IIA?

Inquiring netters want to know.

Mike, folks pay good money on this side of the pond to make their vehicles 
spark.  They put special hi-carbon skid plates underneath, lower the 
suspension, and shower loads of sparks going down the street.   You got all 
the benefits without having to invest in any of the suspension mods.  
Seriously, it sounds like you may have major carbon build up in your 
combustion chambers and a little ELF in your tank might do your lump some 
good (must be quite a sight at night).

Roy,

First check the firing order - 1-3-4-2 counterclockwise.

Next try switching your wires, to make it 180 degrees out from what it is now. 
I realize you have done the proper timing checks but the firing through the 
carb sounds exactly like it being out 180.  Give it a try, just for kicks.

Subject: Tip from Scotty

I was chatting with Scotty over the phone yesterday evening and he passed me a 
tip and asked that I forward it to the group.

Back in the days when he ran a Land Rover authorized warrenty repair shop, he 
recieved a bulliton from Land Rover saying not to park Land Rovers facing down a
steep hill.

The primary input shaft on the front of the transmission does not have a regular
oil seal.  It instead has scrolling that activly pushes the oil back into the 
gear box when the Land Rover is tilted downward enough that the transmission oil
level reaches the input shaft.  This works well when the Land Rover is moving 
but does not work when the car is parked.  

Transmission oil will flow down along the shaft and go onto the clutch disk.  
Left facing a steep downhill long enough, the clutch can start slipping.  The 
heat of the clutch will dry the oil and create a glaze that causes clutch 
jidder.

He mentioned that a few clutch disks were replaced on warrentee because people 
parked regularly facing down hill on some of the San Francisco hills.

I believe he said that the problem occures when the slope gets to be about 25 or
30 degrees.  so a slight downhill slope is OK.  

If you park on a steep slope always aim the nose of your Land Rover uphill.

window channels to match the old screw holes.  I too had to originally 
just tear out/break the old channels, the screws were either too corroded
or I just couldn't find then in the microcosm of the channel.

I'm sure you can dig up a derelict truck for the needed part or send 
Rovers North a small fortune and they'll find you one.

Good luck,
Morgan H.
