Date: Sun, 6 Nov 1994 02:58:05 -0500 (EST) From: "Hal A. Lightwood" <halightw@FLASH.LakeheadU.CA> Subject: Re: Clutch Prob Again Well it looks like those who contributed by clutch problem to a leak in the hydraulics win the prize for the correct answer. Today on my way to my friend Jody Willoughby's house (some of you may know him.. he is the resident LR expert in this area), I heard a hissing sound and my clutch pedal became extremely stiff. This was determined to be a leak in the hydraulics (most probably). And then, coincidently, my starter jiggled itself loose somehow and wouldn't engage properly, and the generator decided it would no longer output sufficient current to charge the battery. So I ended up with a clutchless, unstartable, dead batteried Land Rover today. As far as I can tell all these problems are independant. I guess it just wasn't my day! Well I think I'll just go pop in a new clutch now. I couldn't take that long... :) Hal A.

Lies! all LIES!.......well maybe a *litte* truth to this.... here is a safty tip that I had never thought of...when lifting or transporting a rover with a "Keebler" chassis,one should make sure that the fuel tank is removed or emptied...when we lifted the beast on the trailer, it bent enough to puncture the tank and we left a trail of diesel fuel across the state... Ummm what Mike didn't say was this was the first outing with "the lady"... Well fellas,if you want to impress the sweet young things,*don't* take them on a rover hunt....she *said* she had a great time...somehow I think I'll pay for it down the line.... *I* thought that all the weight would have been foward of the trailer axle..what with the firewall and engine being the only real mass here...Well,someho wE ! NICE misscalculated and this trailer would sway about 3 feet side to side .. If we had had an88 rover we would have ended up parked on the roof...I guess what I'm saying is be *very* carefull when trailering roversas as they can bite ! does anyone need some 109 axles and stuff...all*I* wanted was the silly oil burner....sigh.... well,off to off load...in the rain....drat.... steve....

Sure... Stainless bolts are definately the way to go on critical components, or at the very least a compound like "Never-sieze" on exhaust studs, manifold bolts, etc, etc. Someone once suggested using the cheapest bolts/nuts possible for things that don't need to be real strong, like the bolts holding the floor panels in. That way, if they rusted up you could just snap them off. I like to stay as "low bucks" as possible, so that works for me. As far as saving time?? It seems that no matter how simple the job is, lots of time seems to be spent cursing, bleeding, rinsing out the wounds, stopping for a beer or cup of tea and more cursing. Sure, the stainless bolts loosen up easier but I don't think they save much time.

I was called with a comment of "We have one in- it's white not black - you have 2 hours to decide if you want it." RE: SUBJECT: Land Rover names. >Has anyone compiled a list of Land Rover names?

My 94' Disco just turned 1wk yesterday, but I too am starting to want to name her. I am going Rover after years of a love/hate relationship with a '69 Jeep Commando. My jeep was named 'Rodan' after the three headed monster from the Godzilla series. But the new Rover is not as beastly, so I search for a name...(I also have a dog named "Moosehead" so how knows what the Disco will be called). ALSO: RE: Subject: Liscence plate "names" >I'm thinking about getting a custom liscense plate, here are some ideas >I've had. (Please let me know if you have, or plan to use any of them.) Along with naming my new Disco, I have been toying with License plate names, also. My ideas currently run toward: RVRONOVR (too many chars, I know- but I had to start somewhere) RVR ON (too 'Waynes World' ish) GONROVN (gone Rov'n or Going Rovn) ROV4EVR RVRONUP ROVONUP I am interested in other entries also, and in ways they can be 'misread'. I once had a sports car with plates that said: FEARLS (fearless) but finally bagged them after 1000's of people said "what are fearls" (as in what are 'ferals'...) -Peter Parsons '94 white Disco 5sp, loaded and ROVing ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Pinpoint Solutions, Inc phone: (303)444-7257 523 Arkansas Mtn Rd. fax: (303)444-4966 (fax Number) Boulder, CO 80302 email: pparsons@ppsol.com ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 941107 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

From: Craig Murray <craigp@ocs.cpsg.com.au> Subject: Re: Tip from scotty, and My series 1 Date: Mon, 7 Nov 94 13:09:47 EDT TeriAnn writes: none 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. none This is correct, but only applies to pre D suffix IIA gear boxes I think, I know that my F suffix gear box does not suffer this problem, that is why I have put that in my series 1 instead of the original box, after I blew it up, but I will miss the dipstick. On another note, I finally drove my series 1 for the first time since February, even if it was only to back it out of the shed, and then drive it strait back in. But the really frustrating part of it all is the fact, that while I was putting the gear box back in, I noticed that the master cylinder was leaking a little, so I thought, might as well do that up while I'm at it, WHAT A MISTAKE!!!!!! I cannot get any brakes what so ever now, I am hoping, no make that preying that the brake place cocked up my master cylinder, so that I can fix the brakes during the week, and get an exhaust made up on the weekend, I spent all last week(after work) and this weekend bleeding my brakes, I think I primed/bleed the master cylinder about 8 times. I about ten years time, I might start drilling for brake fluid where my Series 1 is currently parked, as I think I put about 2 litres of brake fluid through the thing, and onto the floor of the shed over the past week! I know it has to be a problem with the master cylinder, as I clamped up all the flexible hoses, and still could not get a pedal, theoretically, I should not be able to move the brake pedal in such a situation! This is really annoying, as I really, really, really, REALLY, want to drive my series 1, I miss driving my Series 1, and I am sick of every one at work, and people I know, saying that it should be running by the year 2000.

How does a leak in the hydraulics give you a STIFF clutch pedal. If you have a leak, you should have a loss in pressure and the pedal should go right to the floor. You sure it's stiff?? (NO JOKES, MALONEY!) Now, a crimp in the clutch line or maybe the hose in the line collapsed internally...
