From: sreddock@VNET.IBM.COM Date: Tue, 3 Oct 95 10:57:02 BST Subject: UJs Hi there, last week a friend had a similar problem with his drive train. I guessed at UJs as mine did the same when they went. I crawled under the back and grabbed the prop. There was hardly any movement but it made loads of noise when he drove. The problem appears to be in my drive! There is a very slight slope which was causing the vehicle to 'lean' on the handbrake which kept the drivetrain taut and managed to take up all the slack. A later check on level ground revealed loads of play. The moral of the story is put the rear axle on stands so that the prop is free to flap in the breeze! Another possible cause which I saw recently before my diff exploded was excess play in the pinion / crown wheel. It made a fair bit of noise and snatch and jerking on take off. This manifested it self as a lot of play in the handbrake as well. Easy to test for, just put the handbrake on and see how far you can rock the vehicle backwards and forwards just using the play in the axle, prop and whatever. Play in the splines and ujs can also do this though so eliminate them before condemning your diff. Before it blew I had nearly a foot of movement this way and I now have just a few inches. Mine made lots of noise for months before it finally blew and stripped all the teeth though. This is probably not your problem though as my V6 does load up the rear axle a bit more than most engines. Never broken a half shaft though! Steve Reddock, Lightweight V6 ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951004 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Just got back to sunny California after a 2 week (3200 mile) vacation in the 4 corners area of the Southwest. While in Moab Utah, spotted a D90 setup to do some serious off-roading. Never got a chance to see/talk to the owner. Anyone know who ownes this one? By the way, my '94 Disco never missed a beat throughout the entire trip except for a minor engine stall while in Durango Colorado. This occurance after a super climb up the 13K foot Engineer's Pass road (ha ha). Talked to a mechanic at the L/R service center in Sante Fe a few days later and he said that similar problems due to gasoline formulated for winter conditions being released too early in the season. Ever heard of this guys?? No big deal however. I just thought that I got a little dust accumulated after a good 1 1/2 weeks off roading in Canyon De Chelley, Monument Valley, Moab (Canyonlands), Durango/Silverton, and Chaco Canyon. By the way, anyone know of US-type replacement Air/Oil filters. I want to keep using genuine L/R parts whenever but in a pinch I'd sure like to have an alternate should the occasion arise. Bye the bye, our trip to the 4 corners area of the Southwest should not be overlooked for anyone interested in our American Indian culture. Lots of good stuff to see. To say the least the Anasazi Indians sure knew how to set up camp! Unbelievable how these people could have the technology and perserverance to construct very complicated dwellings carved into the sides of mountains. All should see this. I've been to Europe and seen archeological digs from the ancient Greeks and Romans and are no more spectacular than that built by the "ancient ones".

I am trying to decide between a '96 Disco and and '95 Classic. I lean towards the Classic, but wonder about the 25 year-old design vs. the 6 year-old design and the 4.0 engine. I live in New York City and intend to drive about 25,000 pothole laden miles a year for 4 years. Is either vehicle more or less likely to hold up. I had read that the 3.9 had head gasket problems at about 60-80k miles. What is resale value like at 100k miles? Off-roading would not be an issue.

Have any of you added gauges to your D90? In looking at the shop manual, it looks as though info from the temp gauge is used by other systems (I had thought that I might replace the D90 temp gauge with the Smiths water temp/oil pressure gauge. I suppose I could still do it if I left the D90 temp gauge hooked up, but just stuffed behind the instrument panel, if there's room.) Are there additional ports to hook up oil pressure and water temp sensors, or do they get "piggy-backed" onto existing ports? Thank-you in advance for your ideas.

If that is the case, the temperature information is relayed by a thin pipe carrying mercury (thermometer principle). May be difficult fitting this to a Defender just by virtue of the fact that the lead (if you have it) may not reach the appropriate point on the engine. However, if the gauge you have has an electrical temperature input, then I'm barking up completely the wrong tree.

Yee ha, what a blast. Ok enough small talk, blah blah blah, there were lots of good-lookin trucks (sorry; Land-Rovers) out there, saw some interesting set-ups, might have to try some myself. Took Miss Lucky out on the trials course, with a little trepidation, but she did fine and made it through with only a minor scratch and a lost chrome piece off one of those silly sidemarker lights. Went out on a run in Quentin Aspin's 80 inch, and realized that I had been maybe going a tad fast. oh well. His slow, steady driving enabled us to enjoy the sights, which included my lost piece of chrome, and a certain arboreal(tree) deformation that looked surprisingly like a "johnson". This was pointed out by the female member of the crew, who promptly ordered one of us out to strike a pose... someone had a camera, and someone else had some big cohones, and the rest is history... We decided right there that instead of "Built Like A Locomotive", next year's theme should be "Hung Like A Tree". Anyways, all involved should withold details to protect the not-so-innnocent. The 101 Forward Control Crew provided fun rides and exciting banter as well as comical clown-like activities like driving in reverse with someone working underneath and repeatedly firing their 10-Guage shotgun cannon. Neat toy that thing, no Rover should be without one. The train ride provided lots of time to show off our collection of unusual Land Rover parts catalogs, which make great conversation pieces. Also we fed Sandy a steady stream of jokes so he could repeat them five seconds later:-) Got to meet some of the OVLR guys and other list people, sorry Chris Stevens and Nate Dunsmore I meant to try to find you guys but I got too wrapped up in my beer... Watched with sadness as NOTAJEEP tore off one of their NOTRECESSED 110 door handles. Ugly. My roommate and Rover pal Will Hadley and his SO followed me down in his IIa, which despite his constant paranoia made it in one piece, and retained all its gear oil (on the rear door, but it still retained it). Actually it looks like a pretty serious leak from the front of the gearbox, I watched with amazement as a nearly steady stream of oil came out of his flywheel housing. We'll be having that out soon won't we Will? Any ideas/advice about this one will be welcomed of course. Looking forward to next year's event and trying the course in 1st gear.

Atlantic British may still offer Santana overdrives which claim a larger oil capacity. The Bearmach O/D also holds more oil and is about $100 US more than Superwench. Sort of hard to find over here? but you shouldn't have a problem. Apparently the oil heats up and causes pressure which can force the oil out of the unit, causing it to dry up and then break. Therefore the larger oil capacity could be considered an advantage. I guess it just gives you more time before it dries up:-). Dixon says you can drill and tap the top of the Superwinch unit and install an axle breather thing to help let off the pressure. Sounds good to me, anybody tried any of this stuff?

Unfortunately the dealer | says the '95 redesign (molded plastic) can't be retrofitted. ------------------------------[ <- Message 26 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951004 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
From: MFIELD@MOHAWK.WIC.EPA.GOV Date: Tue, 3 Oct 1995 19:21:01 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Land Rover for Sale To any interested Land Rover enthusiast: For Sale: 1967 SIIA LWB, LHD, three door Land Rover recently imported directly from England -- quite rare for the U.S. Some of its many features are: Newly rebuilt engine by rover specialists in England - 0 miles Completely refurbished frame - mint Series III transmission Recently refurbished drivetrain - 5000 miles Hardtop with new roofrack and side ladder Soft top with hoops Salisbury Rear differential - mint New Front Defender highback seats - mint New (6) Rear Defender seats - mint New safety belts - mint New high quality sound proofing - mint New carpeting - mint New NATO brush paint - $100/gal New heavy duty tires - mint New brakes - mint New ring and pinion gears (not installed) F/R - mint I purchased this vehicle directly from England and have all the required import documents. I purchased this Rover for use as a geologist because of I travel in some very rough country where I sometimes have need to exit in a hurry (drug growers don't take kindly to strangers who work for the government). As such a PTO winch/bumper was originally included in the purchase price but has not yet arrived from England. Unfortunately, even though I purchased this Rover with intentions of using it for my job as a government geologist, the government is now threatening to lay me off (or furlough me for months at a time). Because I purchased this with a home equity loan, I am now have to sell it to ensure that I can pay back the loan. This Land Rover was appraised at $13,000. However, due to my desperation I am willing to let it go for considerably less. I am not interested in making a profit -- only avoiding a loss. If anyone is interested, please call me at: (202) 260-8921 - work (301) 349-5712 - h mfield@mohawk.wic.epa.gov - email Thanx everyone. Malcolm S.

A battered 109 soft top, a neat 2 door RR and a very neat red SIII 109 Safari in County trim. Late for dinner - starring the guy who played Boony in China Beach has another very neat 109 safari (II or IIA), plus a RR glimpse.

Date: Tue, 3 Oct 1995 22:48:25 -0500 From: rover@pinn.net (Alexander P. Grice) Subject: Vignets from the rally Really too busy this last weekend to enjoy the event, but a few scenes stuck in my mind. The Georgia contingent was determined to enter the tire changing portion of the Aluminium Man Triathlon in NASCAR-style. Brought along a generator, floor jack and electric impact wrench. However, the handle came off the jack and the wheels sank in the grass. Technology bites back! They finished fourth or so. Mike Malone piloting the 80" through the sand trap. Kept up great speed through the sand, but carried it into "the sankes in the grass" - logs set up in an articulation alley. Came clean out of the vehicle, holding onto only the steering wheel. He stopped/reversed when his feet came off the pedals. Rules said seat belts had to be used. His, apparently, were only affixed to the *cushion*. Made for a soft landing, though. Jared Silbersher in the log chop/split portion of the contest. He must be part beaver... Jared completed the task in half the time of everyone else. The "Mountain Laurel String Band" playing 'round the campfire with a canopy of stars overhead. Something about bluegrass music - it sounds better outside - especially with a fine single malt in hand.
