If anybody's looking for me, I'm going to be elsewhere for a week...

I have been having "indicated" overheating on my Series III for about 6 weeks. Replaced the thermostat, flushed the rad, took rad to shop (good flow, little blockage), replaced the temp sending unit, still "hot". Taking temp thru filler cap at top rad hose showed 165-170 deg F. Ordered a new temp gauge head. Night before last, used vehicle with headlights. Noticed high temp reading at speed, but both temp gauge AND fuel gauge would fall off at idle. Talked to a couple of folks who said this indicated a faulty voltage stabilizer on the back of the speedo. Fiddled with it yesterday to try to get voltage reading. Put it all back together and MAGIC it all works spot on. End of the story, must have been accumulated corrosion on the stabilizer contacts. ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950812 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

TeriAnn - I think what you described is known as the 'Mother Lode'...
My family experiences apoplexy just getting a quick glimpse of a LR or
RR on TV. I can't imagine what would have happened if we had happened
on such a glorious sight... probably would still be there gawking ...

Since I live in the South-East U.S. I need a tire that is very good in mud, but snow and sand don't matter. I am very interested in the Michelin XCL 7.50 R16's but have not had much luck finding them in the Atlanta area.

Date: Tue, 8 Aug 95 20:34:49 PDT From: Tony@hawtec.demon.co.uk Subject: Re: 109" prices in UK, 109" junker? There are always bargains to be had but most UK Land Rovers in the price range 1,100 to 1,500 are not what I would call "top running order". Mechanically they may be okay, but chassis and bulkhead are likely to be quite rusted as a result of our climate. The comments on prices in the US compared with the UK are interesting. Over here we regard genuine L/R parts prices as being high. A business associate recently spent a short time in New Hampshire and was quite impressed by the low prices of goods generally in the US. Something doesn't seem to tie up here! Maybe my view is a little jaundiced by our deputy prime minister's recent proud boast that Britain is now a "low wage economy"!!! ------------------------------------- Tony Chapman E-mail: Tony@hawtec.demon.co.uk HAWTEC Tel: 01905 723200 Haswell House Fax: 01905 613338 St. Nicholas Street Mobile: 0973 316835 Worcester WR1 1UW Date: 08/08/95 Time: 20:34:49 This message was sent by Chameleon ------------------------------------- ------------------------------[ <- Message 10 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950812 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Date: Fri, 11 Aug 95 12:58 MST From: jhoward@argus.lowell.edu (James D. Howard II) Subject: Progress on my SIII I took the day off work yesterday to get some work done on my SIII. I had no illusions about finishing everything, but I was depressed at how little I got done. My task list was: 1. Replace RH Swivel ball oil seal. 2. Install the new tape deck to replace the 1977 vintage Sears FM radio. 3. Replace the muffler. 4. Install my new overdrive. The whole day was spent on numero uno. First step was to remove the swivel ball drain plug. Nothing comes out. So, I remove the seals, and a lot of brown 90wt oil comes out. Kinda sludgy. So, I end up removing the whole swivel/hub/brake assembly, pulling out the swivel ball, cleaning the inside, and putting it back together. The top pin and bush need replacing, but they are not too bad yet. I will order them and take this apart again when I get the energy to do it. I ordered a new radio from Cruchfield, and they included an under dash installation kit that looks like it will attach nicely to the roof above the rear view mirror. Next step is to replace the muffler. The Arizona desert provided a baked mud coating for all the pipes that protected them very well. The adobe exhaust pipes (which are as old as the Land Rover) don't need replacing, but the muffler developed a split in it. I guess the mud was not splashed onto it when it was new.

Re: Copy of: Nevada Rovers
All:
Are there any Rover owners in the Fallon / Reno area of Nevada? I'll be working
at NAS Fallon for about three weeks starting on the 15th of August (leaving at
the start of 'Tailhook' weekend in Reno...damn!) and I'm curious if someone out
there wants to swap Rover info / beers on one of those weekends.
E-mail me direct at 75347.452@compuserve.com before the 15th.
See ya there!
Steve Rochna
(sorry if you got this twice but it looks to me like the list missed it )

I'd love to get a couple of photos for the >Aluminum Workhorse. On sunday July 2nd my husband, a friend, and I saw a white Disco in Laguna Beach which was decked out for the 1994 Camel Trophy. It was loaded with all the goodies and stickers all over saying Camel Trophy 1994. My jaw dropped to the ground with envy! Our friend who thought I was crazy for being in love with LR's suddenly understood and admitted that the Disco (especially the Camel Trohpy Disco) was really great! Do you think we saw "The Jeffreys?" Question, does LR have a particular kit or method as to how they place the Camel Trophy stickers? Can anyone buy a sticker saying Camel Trophy? OK...one more question, I am going to England and Scotland in late September. Where is the LR factory located? Do they give tours? Do they give off road lessons? dreaming of a new Disco..... -Janine morison@alumni.cco.caltech.edu ------------------------------[ <- Message 14 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950812 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I am looking for something a little more aggressive since I have a set of 15" rims that have some better all-round tires. My current second choice is the Mud-terrains that were on the earlier D90's but I have always liked the XCL's especially since I saw them on the Camel Trophy vehicles. By the way I wonder what the Trophy Disco is using now if the XCL has been discontinued. If anyone sees the Jeffreys, let me know what tires they are running on. Can anyone confirm the discontinuation of the XCL, what about outside the US?

Even if you're not in the market for another Rover, it's nice to know what's out there..... So...I'm looking for a IIA '88 to restore Withing a few (4-5) hours Drive >from Stratford, Ontario. Actually, anything older than a SIII would be nice. I only have the one Rover and it's almost fixed (i.e. the hole in my driveway that I've been throwing money into for the past few years is almost filled, and i feel the need to dig another one!!!) If you have one, or know of any for sale, you can either post it here for all to see, or I can be reached at iharper@afm.org So let's see those classifieds start coming in........ --- This copy of Freddie 1.2.5 is being evaluated. ------------------------------[ <- Message 17 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 950812 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I have cleaned them up now and comp[ared them with what is in the cabinet and I am happy to say that about 25 of them will be listed here in the next couple of days for everyone else as they are doubles of stuff I already have. Some neat stuff that I got were a red Lone STar series one, a Vitesse series 2 88 in the AA scheme that was withdrawn because of a problem with the decal not being close to the real AA badge. I got a complete mint boxed Lions of Longleat Corgi with meat and lions and den , yippeee!! i have found more variations of ones I already have but did not know about. It looks as if I will have to put an extra shelf in the cabinet to handle the overload.
