Subject: Identify this part.....?
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 1995 18:26:09 +0930 (CST)

Hi All, I was handed a land-rover part today and for the life of me cant
figure out which vehicle it is from....  The only part number is a military
one and even thats not all there

Comes from ex- oz military stock.  supposedly from a IIA III or maybe a 101
or perentje.   

It is a rubber bush that looks, and is dimensionally, exactly like the front
spring chassis bush of a III but is designed for a 3/4 inch dia through bolt!

Any ideas?

Subject: help on faq

As I am not very used with e-mails and the lro-list, I would be happy if 
somebody could tell me how to recive the faq files.
  The help menue says
                      get <list> <filename>
 but what is the filename ?
  Could somebody write an example or explain it to me?
  Whom must I send the get-message(lro@Land-Rover.team.net)?

Subject: Alternator...?
Date: Fri, 18 Aug 95 11:35:29 BST

Symptoms : charge light doesn't come on, ever, not even when I just switch
           the ignition on.  No change in voltage when engine is started
           (i.e. the battery ain't getting charged...).  Current flow is
           all _from_ battery, not to it.

Machine  : LWB diesel SIII, std. 35A [Lucas :-(] alternator.

Other comments : Fan belt OK.  Alternator going round.  Wiring appears OK.

Am I right in thinking that the alternator is probably toast?  Any sure-
fire/neat ways to check the beastie electrically on or off the car?  

Haven't had time to have a good look yet but I need to fix it tomorrow.
Any hints, tips etc. gratefully accepted.

All the best,

Andy

Subject: SII Idle

Mike Dryfoos writes:I have a question about my '71 SIIA.

Miss Golightly demonstrates a similar problem occassionally and I also have 
the Crane Allison ignition. The idle speed drops gradually until she will 
stall if left unattended. Depressing the brake pedal restores the idle speed 
(Leaky servo). The problem is the idle adjustment on the single choke weber. 
The screw seems to creep slowly out richening the mixture by stages until 
she will stall. A quick readjustment cures all.

I have posted this problem before and still can't  tune the idle properly. 
As I tune the screw in the idle speed remains constant and then as the screw 
bottoms the engine stops. I expect the idle speed to rise at the point that 
the mixture weakens and back out about 1/4 turn from this point point. Could 
the steady idle be a result of the electronic ignition?

BTW Since the rebuild my plugs stay bright and clean. Carbon build up was 
due to oil not ignition effects.

 ANDREW GRAFTON wrote that his charge light was not coming on and that it
appeared that his battery was not being charged. I have not had this happen to
me, but I recall that if the charge light bulb burns out that the charging
system won't work. If this is the case it could just be the bulb in the charge
light.

 LESLIE STUTSMAN said that she had several items for sale, I was curious about
the PTO winch. Is it Front PTO (Pulley) or Center PTO (Transfer Case). Drum or
Capstan? I might be interested if it runs off the Front Pulley.

 I appreciate all the responses I have received on 16" tires for my SerIII. I
have not decided yet but will let you know. I think I have given up on the
Michelins.

That's what it is supposed to do.  When in 4 low, 4wd is always engaged so the
lever pops out when you enter 4L.  It's not broken.

I sold my '94 wrangler after 2 1/2 months to buy my D90.  My dealership still has the
pictures of my jeep parked next to a D90, in the lot, that they took the day I came
to my senses.  Had I bothered to look at the D90 before I bought the jeep (please
forgive me for saying the j word so many times) I could have saved the $6000+ I lost,
only about $2500 a month plus gas and insurance (not one of my better manuevers)

    On the subject of tires:

    I'm sure this is a quick way to get a religious war.

Yahoo!  Get the guns boys! :)

    -- I drove someone's 1994 D90 the day they bought it.  It had the
    BFG Mud Terrain tires.  Maybe it was the power steering (I'm used to
    my 1960 SII 88), maybe it was the tires, but I could not control
    that thing on back country paved roads.  

I've never experienced such a problem.  Doesn't sound like tires to me.

    -- Lanny at RN offered up as much advice/opinion on tires as I
    wanted to hear.  He bases his opinions on observation and direct
    experience with his own vehicles and with those used in the off-road
    school and to travel to events around the US.  He said the Mud
    Terrains are superb off-road but that they were *gone* at about 20K
    miles.  (This is borne out by the experience of my friend with the
    94 D90; I think he replaced them at about 18K!!!!) 

HUH?  I run Mud Terrains and currently have 33K on them on a D90 that gets 
used for everything from freeway travel to rock travel, 85mph to 0 mph.  
Wear is only just starting to become obvious. They look like they should 
give another 20K (I hope :)).  In fact, when they're due I'll be replacing 
them with the same.

I wonder what the source of variability is?  BF quality control?  Road 
conditions ??  User practices?  Proportion of off-road vs. on road?

Interesting.

Thankyou to whoever sent me a copy of the OVLR newsletter.  It was a 
very interesting read.  It arrived last week and I would have 
acknowledged sooner had it not been for the problems I've been 
having with mail.

Thanks again.

Jory,
Thanks for the info on roof racks.  
Whats your affiliation with MIT?  My girlfriend is going to be attending
Sloan starting in about 2 weeks now.  We'll be moving over to Beacon Hill in
a week or so to be a little closer to campus (I'm not looking forward to
living there, though).  
I've seen a nice 88" with a roof rack parked outside Harvard Square near the
architecture school.  Yours perhaps?  
Would you be willing to get together sometime & let me take a closer look at
your roof rack (and Rover)?  

Thanks again,
Fred

Subject: What the heck's this mime stuff?

Help !

Starting two days ago, both the Land Rover Owner Daily Digest, and the
Mendo-recce digest have arrived at my computer with the following note in the
header:

X-Note:	This message has multiple attachments, stored in a single MIME
document.  Select "Download" to get the MIME document, then use a MIME
decoder (available at keyword FILE SEARCH) to retrieve the attachments.

File:  thelandr.mme (46409 bytes)
DL Time (2400 bps): < 5 minutes

Now the problem is that I'm only receiving the first page of the digests,
where before they came neatly divided as "page 1 of 3, etc". I didn't make
any changes to my e-mail program, this just started out of the blue. Called
AOL... they said download the 'MIME decoder' ... did that, but the
description page is all greek to me (computers and I have an uneasy truce at
best).

So my question is ... has this started happening to anyone else? How do I
stop this new and twisted development and return to the good ol' days of just
reading the digests with the 'scroll arrows' ?

Come on all you computer whizzes... 

Eric.

More unconfirmed rumors:

I reported last month that 540 D90 Station Wagons would begin arriving this 
fall... Latest rumor?

About 400 of them will be the aforementioned *aluminum* hardtop models... The 
rest? CANVAS TOPPED Station Wagons!!?? What the hey? Do I have any more 
information than this? NO! Will I soon? I hope. And I'll post as soon as I 
do... 

What's next? Automatics?? Just kidding. But not kidding about the canvas SW 
rumor. I'm waiting with baited breath to learn more. Talk soon.

Subject: PCV Valve

Hi there,

Being the environmentaly minded Land Rover owner that I am, I have been
playing around with the notion of reinstalling the PCV valve on my SIIa.  It
seems that the PPO replaced the original carb an intake with a 2 barrel Weber
setup.  At current, the vent line from the oil filler is connected to the air
cleaner ( inside ) and causes a great mess. I would like the reinstall the
original type PCV.  I was just woundering if anyone on the list had an old
one kicking around that they would like to part with ( for a price ) before I
made the call to one of the parts houses.  Another option is if anyone has an
idea of a standard PCV that has the correct vacume as the stock.

Thanks for you help
