From: marcus@dcs.qmw.ac.uk Subject: Rear differential problems Date: Sun, 20 Nov 1994 14:45:23 +0000 (GMT) Has anyone any suggestions as to the possible causes of a loss of drive from a Rover rear differential on a 1970 2.25 petrol SIIA LWB Station Wagon? The symptoms are: With the engine running and a gear engaged, the prop-shaft turns, accompanied by a light to moderate knocking sound from the diff casing, but there is no drive. It happened without warning - my Mum had stopped at some traffic lights, and when she engaged the clutch to pull away, nothing happened. No funny noises or anything. On two previous occasions in the last few months, we did here a brief noise from the rear, which sounded as if the prop-shaft had momentarily touched a crossmember, though I know this cannot have been the case since we were on a level road. I pulled out the half-shafts but neither of them is broken, the splines look fine, and re-engage in the diff with no problems. The car drives with four-wheel drive engaged, though I wouldn't want to go very far because of the aforemention knocking. Is it possible that a collapsed pinion bearing has allowed the bevel-pinion to move out of mesh with the crown-wheel, or is this a forlorn hope? Otherwise, its Sod's law at work again - when I saw brand-new Genuine Land Rover diffs advertised at 120 UK pounds inc shipping earlier this year, I thought to myself "there's a bargain, pity I don't need one"! I would appreciate it if all you helpful people out there could reply to me direct and cc the list, so I won't have to wait too long for the replies! Ta very much. Marcus. ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 941121 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
From: Craig Murray <craigp@ocs.cpsg.com.au> Subject: Re: Breakfasts grills Date: Mon, 21 Nov 94 9:03:22 EDT > "breakfast" and is it just the grill or the complete radiator panel?? none I've got some information way in the back of my head (where my brain is located) - I hope it's correct - that the term "breakfast grill" was coined Down Under where the military in the old days used the S.I and S.IIA grills ... well, to *grill*. Remember, they're still made of thick metall mesh as opposed to the plastic junk you find from S.III onwards. On a fresh Outback morning, the troopers would just take the grill of their Landy, set it on four rocks, make a fire under it, set their billabong and pan on it and - make their breakfast. ...now you'll want to know what a billabong is. Craig, you tell'em. Stefan > "breakfast" and is it just the grill or the complete radiator panel?? The Australian army never had Series 1's, maybe only a couple for evaluation maybe, but I don't think so. The people that used them for grills were all sorts of people, especially peole travelling in the outback. As for the billabong bit, I think you mean the billy, which is a pot for boiling water, if you already did not know. As for breakfast grill, I have never heard the term except on the list! -- ============================================================================== Craig Murray 1955 Series 1 86" LROC of Victoria Australia 2.25 diesel LROC of Gippsland Victoria Australia email: craigp@ocs.cpsg.com.au ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 941121 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Sun, 20 Nov 1994 22:02:03 -0600 (CST) From: David John Place <umplace@cc.UManitoba.CA> Subject: Re: Cold Weather help needed The description of the use of alcohol is valid and in Manitoba in winter we add Methol Hydrate to every fill up. It helps particularly with vehicles which go in and out of garages especially heated ones. Water builds up in the gas tanks and it can cause real problems. Something which people forget when changing from the standard Rover carbs to Rochester in particular is that when used in Chev vehicles they have a heat oven under them. It is just a piece of sheet metal which directs heat from the manifold to the base of the carb. Most Land Rovers come with the heat shield on them but over the years they are removed because it is difficult to service the carb with them in place. If you look at the manifold at least on the export models I have worked on, they have a tapped hole in the manifold to hold this piece of tin. Try putting the shield back on or making one yourself and see if it helps. You may find however that in the summer you will have to remove it because it can get the carb so hot that vapour lock starts because the fuel in the carb starts to boil and at that temperature it doesn't pump and the volitility is incorrect. I solved my summer problem by putting the thick fibre spacer back on after I had removed it to get more thread length on the carb hold down bolts. This proved to be a mistake because not only did the fuel boil and the vehicle experience vapour lock, but the carb base cracked from the excessive heat. I now use an electric fuel pump with the proper spacer and the heat oven and it works very well. By the way you only get this problem at moderate temps. At very cold temps you get gasline freezing instead and the methol hydrate has a lower freezing point so that keeps things perking. Hope this helps you hesitation problem.

The Discovery rim has a different offset, and you may find that you can't go to full lock. I know someone who did this with their 110, and found just that out.

SIIA It seems to me that a good sign would be to use the ASL letters L & R combined. The letter L is made by sticking out your thumb and forefinger at a right angle, (Basically, a finger gun pointing up.) so that they look like the letter L to the person you're signing to. R is made by crossing your first and second fingers, and pointing them up, with the thumb folded in. So, if you just make an R, but stick out your thumb, you have LR combined. If this (or something like it) became common, we could use it to "wave" to Land Rovers we see when forced to use our girlfriend's mazda to visit our Rovers at Scotty's... --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Uncle Roger "There is pleasure pure in being mad sinasohn@crl.com that none but madmen know."
