Now, say the gearbox did jump out of second occasionally on the
overrun - what would be the problem?  Any other 'big trouble' 
indicators to watch out for?  How about popping out of first?

The good news is that there weren't any bits in the oil.

Just so I know what to look for...

All the best,

Subject: 101 diffs
Date: Thu, 13 Jul 1995 21:30:36 +1000 (EST)

I know a few guys here in Victoria, Oz with 101s. Now since I have an 
active interest in Salisbury diffs, I have peered hard at the 101 centres 
and axles when friends have had them apart. One has 2 lock right lockers 
fitted recently, and the others are having air lockers made by another 
friend. The centre itself is the same as any other salisbury, with the 
exception of the spline in the side gears. This is larger to accomodate 
the thicker 101 axles- can't remember the exact # of splines or size, but 
I will ask and post. I do know that the hole in a standard salisbury 
cross (pinion gears run on the arms of it) is too large to cut standard 
LR 24 spline splines in, but just fine for '101' spline. (can anyone 
guess how my diff lock will work- had to get a cross with 24 spline size 
hole-clue). 
One guy here has a slightly modified 101:
X-pensive 350 Chev, running LPG only- 300ish litres tank capacity I think.
Custom made 20" rims with custom Disc brakes+BIG calipers.
Michellan Tyres: Life about 5000Km and 70% gone! ~$400 Aus each
Air diff locks as mentioned above being fitted.
(His father owns the Lock Rite'd one)
Centre mount PTO winch- cable paths front and rear.
Tatty Soft top

Awesome thingy this! Bog it if and only if U have a Mog or some kind of 
dozer handy to extract it- If it gets stuck then we mortals have not a 
prayer of extracting, but so far it seems rare to do so. Not much stops it.
BTW - the salisbury in a 101 has the same axle tube OD, and a thicker 
wall- (smaller ID) I can get the exact dims if necessary.
The Salisbury is, I believe, a 4 Pinion version of the Dana 60.
All these Questions about 101vs109 running gear....what you building-huh??

Subject: undercoating; how to spray

Thanks Tom for the info on bar & chain oil. How do you spray such oil? 
Would a garden sprayer (hand pump) work? In addition to the D90 chassis I 
could probably spray all of my '66 Scout, also have two IHC Cub tractors 
('48 and '50) and implements that might benefit. If a garden sprayer 
might work, do you know if there are nozzels available that would work 
with oil?

Another que:thD90 owners manual, under "maintenance" the 
subject of "Steam Cleaning" reads:"To prevent consequential rusting, any 
steam cleaning within the engine bay must be followed by careful 
re-waxing of the metallic components affected. Particular attention 
should be given to the steering column, engine water pipes, hose clights 
and the ignition coil clight."
I've never steam-cleaned undercarriage or under-hood. (Just hosed out the 
engine compartment with the usual keeping hose away from the air intake.) 
Everything under the hood is slowly turning the color of dust....and I 
imagine that this coating might protect things from effects of water.
My question is: should the engine compartment BE "steam cleaned" 
occasionally (if so, what would be used to "re-wax" the parts listed in 
owners manual, since engine water pipes get *hot*.
(I once used aerosol "engine cleaner" (Gunk) at a drive-in DIY car wash 
on another old Scout, and all of the engine paint peeled off so I'm not 
too keen on that)

old Churchill cannot become my daily driver unless I can figure out how
to cram an air conditioner under the hood or elsewhere.

I had posted to the group last week, saying that
my 94 Disco was making noise, as if it had 
an exhaust leak developing.  I called the dealer, 
in denver, and described it to them.  The service
manager immediatly said, "Oh it's the bolts on the
exhaust manifold to exhuast pipe on the side of
the engine at the bottom.  It happens to all Disco's.
Just snug them up, or bring it by.  

	So I looked.  The bolts weren't loose, all three
of them are gone!  I least I know the problem.  I've put
new ones on (8mm 1.0 fine pitch) for you other Disco 
owners that are at about 7k miles of use...

and redo it when next I could bring it by...

I saw a Dormobile at Scotty's a few months ago that had factory air 
conditioning.  The original sales slip was with the car & it was listed there.

As I remember the compressor pump was mounted on the right side.  The 
airconditioning unit itself was mounted high on the center of the bulkhead, 
above the engine.  It required a cut in the bonnet  and a cover fot the air 
conditioning unit.  It covered the space where the scuttle vents are located and
used the scuttle vents for the air conditioner output.  

This of course means no bonnet mounted tyre.

Dear LRO's,

Being new to this group, I hope you'll forgive any inadvertant
bumbling on my part, however I've decided to "upgrade" my Jeep
Wrangler to a L.R. Discovery in the near future. From my recent
"lurking", it seems the majority of the traffic has to do with
the older (what some might call "real") Land Rovers (e.g. the
SI-SIII), nevertheless, if there are any Disco owners about,
I'd appreciate some feedback on their experiences (1st, 2nd or
even 3rd hand) with the Discovery.

Thanks in advance!

My just-delivered Disco has foldover metal tabs (Part

loose or off.  Apparently, someone took this problem 
for action when it came up a while back, and the factory 
now turns out Discos with the engineering change 
incorporated.  A case of the system working!!!

I think we did this beer thing a few years back.  Coopers extra stout has
just been awarded OZ beer of the year or some such guff, kinda like a darker

Ok I would have agreed with this when I lived in Darwin but now I'm here in
"temperate" Adelaide its always too cold to go to the beach....  
(Ok so I'm a cold weather woose, take me back to the tropics NOW)

Dixon I dont honestly know... Something to do with not having enough money to
consider it.   Cant be too severe as there are always lots of "californian" US
muscle cars available from importers and you see the occasional car with a
"special compliance" plate (ie personal import of non OZ available car  eg
TR8's).  I wonder what Leslie knows (you still with us ??)  Probably duties

Ok stop me if I'm wrong... Lock - rights are automatic lockers and basically
just a refined (read more subtle/quieter) No-Spin "Detroit Locker"

101's run the lt95 box and as such are full-time 4x4.

So how much does the lock-right camming in and out affect steering, I know a
no-spin in the rear will make a 109 twitchy and have always wondered about a
front applications ever since some bloke tried very hard to sell me one.

on a similar note did anyone on the list find who is supplying for the Torsen

prototype which never went into production????

Tony - My '89 RR has a lamp gaurds, bush bar and winch from Atlantic British.
 Here are my observations....  Don't get the lamp gaurds, especially the rear
ones.  I doubt that you'll ever need them for anything but "looks", and in
snowy climes they form very efficient snow baskets that obscure the head and
tail lights.  The bush bar is great, however.  What I have done to the front

that for me - p.s.: the bush bar works very well with the air dam in place as
well), mount the bush bar, move the driving lamps from the air dam up between
the bush bar verticals, beneath the bumper on either side of the front plate,
and mount a 8,000# Super Winch in front of the grill on the bush bar.  I then
cleaned off all the tacky SuperWinch logos, got a LR green oval from AB, and
fixed it to the front of the winch.

The bush bar is very practical, more for hanging on to and strapping stuff to
your front end.  You'll be surprized at what you'll use it for (everything
but kangaroos).  The one disadvantage is that it makes the task of changing a
headlamp into a two hour ordeal.  The RR grill easily folds forward after
loosing a few tabs under the hood for headlamp repair, but with the bar in
place it has no place to fold forward to.  My set up is more complicated
because of the extra winch fixings.

Hope this helps - Tony

 So what's a "gene jockey", someone who's always running around looking to
 complete their chromosome chain?

Uuuum well i just checked and yes I do... Worked fine last night (~19-20 hr
ago)  403 forbidden sounds serious, I hope the folk at Monash Uni havent spat
the dummy over all the hits his site has been getting. A crying shame if we
lose that site, (and get Lloyd into trouble to boot)

"Gene Jockey" is a slightly degrading way of describing those persons who
practice (or in my case are learning) the noble art/science of molecular
biology and genetic engineering....

James Howard of Flagstaff write about drafting off of an 18 wheeler...It all 
depends upon how brave/foolish you are.  I've tucked in behind semis before 
and had them pull me along 5 feet from the back door at 1/3 throttle.  The 
vacuum behind the big rigs is enormous, especially with that flat rear 
surface.  Several years ago, I was out in the field inspecting property when 
a squall line blew through.  Made it out of the woods and onto a 4 lane 
highway about the time that the *big* gusts (60+ MPH) hit.  After getting up 
to speed (heading due east with a west wind), I found that I could maintain 
35-40 MPH *in neutral* (no lie).
