From: Easton Trevor <TEASTON@DQC2.DOFASCO.CA> Subject: Brake Fluids Date: Sat, 17 Jun 95 07:17:00 DST I am contemplating changing the brake fluid in Miss Golightly's system to silicone as I believe it is much better for long term survivability and I intend to keep her for a long time. Two questions: 1. I just read a short snippet about a high performance fluid (non silicone) in 4Wheel Dive and Off Road. Here they said silicone is not recommended for 4x4s. Does anyone know why and should I not replace my fluid? 2. If I go ahead I have to completely flush the system. Any suggestions on best way to flush? I don't really want to use the silicone fluid for flushing, not at $40 litre. Thanks in advance for the tips Trevor Easton and Miss Golightly ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950618 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

The thought > > Late series III's were fitted with a dual circuit, servo assisted, brake system. I've got one and it certainly would fit a Series IIA, perhaps with minor modifications to the wing if the car is RHD (the vacuum assist diaphragm chamber is big and clumsy). Two points; Firstly, the system gets its vacuum from the air inlet manifold and does so by creating a restriction with a butterfly valve mounted in an add-on section of manifold. On our machine this leads to even worse emissions than is normally expected from a 2286 diesel... Secondly, I've experienced how badly the brakes work without vacuum assist (like -they don't-) when I had removed the above- mentioned valve/restriction assy so the car would pass the MOT. Scary. The oil-bath handbrake worked better. If I was retrofitting such a system then I don't think I'd want the Landrover SIII version. I'd try for one with its own vacuum pump which worked reasonably even if there wasn't any vacuum! Maybe there isn't anything else which is an easy fit, though... All the best, Andy A.J.Grafton@lut.ac.uk ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950618 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

SP makes an addapter to fit the 3.0-liter Ford V-6 to LR gearboxes. I asked if that same adapter would fit the Cologne-built 4.0-liter V-6 used in the Explorer. Stands to reason that it would. But, as I said, I got no answer from Steve Parker. Even better would be if Ian Ashcroft were to make a conversion to fit the LR transfer box to the Ford automatic gearbox. Cheers, Granville B.

Granville, Marks 4WD Adaptors (Australia) manufactures a transfer case adaptor that allows the Ford C4, C9 or C10 type automatic transmission to bolt to the Land Rover transfer case. They also make an adaptor to fit the Ford toploader 4 speed to a Land Rover transfer case. Their address is 22 Sinclair Rd., Dandenong 3175, Victoria, Australia.

I have already changed all 6 ends. I got a new track rod before i started, just in case. Yes i did hammer the rods from the end and abou 3" down. Worked a fine rythm for about a minute each. Then i checked the way of the thread and hammerd on the opposite side of the moving stud. I hammered and banged and hit and smashed... ...ahh, that felt good. After half a turn they came off by hand. Banging one clamp all the way over the rod will remove gunk and rust providing a better grip when adjusting. Why did i not use a vice? Well the road side is my shop. But i'm looking for a large vice to bolt on a "T" setup of two poles to mount in the back. Then i can do the relay. Got the bushes already... Next time the boss is on my neck i'll go home and bang off the last end of the old track rod, clean it and put it plastic. BTW,-looking at various posts it seems to be the month where all LRO's change the rod ends. rgds Soren Vels/Lawrence of Arabia ------------------------------[ <- Message 8 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950618 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I have train to use the towers and tower extensions but the towers pushed against the roof. I also purchased the top mout brackets which require drilling through the top. The problem with that solutions is that I will end up with exposed 5/16" nuts sticking through the head liner. I can only imagine a passanger impelling his skull in the back of my rover. If you have any ideas, please let me know. I'm getting tired of not being able to transport my bike.
