From: Alan Richer/CAM/Lotus <Alan_Richer/CAM/Lotus.LOTUS@crd.lotus.com> Date: 29 Oct 95 8:53:53 EST Subject: Re: 109 Trailer Harness and Work Light mod.? Yes, it seems to be an easy fit for a 5-wire trailer plug. The one LR recommended tapped the wiring for the left-hand and right-hand turn signals, and the stop lights. Personally, I think I'd also hit up the taillights if I had them on the trailer, and don't forget a ground wire. Your answer, however, is yes, it's easy to do. If you need 4-wire, there are converters sold at trailer shops which wire into the taillights and have the proper 4 wires coming out. I believe these are about 10-15 dollars. ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951030 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

From: JFisk1120@aol.com Date: Sun, 29 Oct 1995 12:35:33 -0500 Subject: Re: Flatland Rover Society Mark Twain Adventure This posting is a thank you of sorts to the stout hearts and reliable Rovers of the Flatland Rover Society. On the 20th, 21st and 22nd of this month, this club sponsored a rally in the national forest along the Meramac River in East-Central Missouri. Five members of our club, The Coventry Travel & Safari Club, ventured to this action-packed event, some 150 miles from home. The setting couldn't have been more beautiful and the generosity and goodwill of this club couldn't have been better. Ray Harder will undoubtedly post a review of this event, however, we in Southwest Missouri wanted to extend a netwide thank you, because this is the kind of stuff that binds together people of a common interest. Rally host, Geoff Link of St. Louis and Flatland President, Steve Paustian of Kansas City are to be commended for the tone they set and the excellence in touring which prevailed at this event. An absolute "all for one and one for all" attitude guided this rally and we at Coventry are proud to have shared the experience.

Date: Sun, 29 Oct 1995 22:27:18 -0500 From: rover@pinn.net (Alexander P. Grice) Subject: US Odins?? Scott Fugate speculated on The Next Generation of Rovers (Odin, et als) rolling out of the Spartanburg, SC beemer plant. I wouldn't be surprised. One of the principle reasons that BMW acquired Rover was that they had thrown cubic-mega deutchmarks at 4X4 project and failed to come up with a workable prototype. So getting the world's most versatile vehicle along with passenger car lines and a host of name badges (MG, etc.) was cheap at twice the price. Mercedes last year slipped to second place behind BMW (if you use combined sales for both Rover and BMW) and that thought steams them plenty. MB's American plant in Tuscaloosa, Alabama is scheduled to open in two years and the its first US-built vehicle is supposed to be a variant on the Gelandeswagen. It seems only logical that BMW would use their facility to construct the Odin though they have publically stated that a lower-priced sports sedan (200-series??) will be the flagship vehicle. Someone else requested info on Mid-Atlantic Rally T-shirts. $15 plus about $2.50 postage to the address in the sig.block. XL and a *few* XXL's only.

From: Steve Willey-pc <steve.willey-pc@attws.com> Subject: Heater vents/controls '90 RR Date: Sun, 29 Oct 1995 21:17:47 -0700 LR Folk: In my 'new to me' '90 RR I seem to only get heated airflow from the round vents directed at the windshield and not from the fascia louvers facing the cabin. When I turn on the heat and move the left most vertical slider of the climate control settings to the down position I get a toasty full-bodied blast of heat from the round vents that is reflected by the windshield into my face and very efficiently dries out my contact lenses (not desirable). When I move the same slider to the up position hot air flow form the round vents is reduced and cold or at least not-heated air flow from the fascia vents is increased. >From reading the Owner's Manual and a little common sense it would seem that I should be getting heated air from the fascia vents. What gives? Two questions before I dig into the dash: Is this truly a 'bug' not a 'feature?' i.e. should I really be getting heated air from the fascia vents? Shop Manuals and/or other reference for working-on and maintaining these trucks? Is the shop manual valuable and/or worth the money?

Subject: winch info reqd S2a From: rc@fourfold.ocunix.on.ca (Robin Craig) Date: Sun, 29 Oct 95 22:14:56 -0500 Today Peter, a friend of mine and I recovered the remains of a 2a 88 and a rolling if not somewhat rusted s2a 109 pickup from near Kingston Ont. The 109 pickup has a very nice cast alumnium fairlead system with rollers both horizontal and vertical. The winch, I'm ashamed to say I forgot to see if it was mechanical or elctric but me thinks 'twas mechanical. Anyhow, to look at the winch it looks somewhat like the Warn 8274, ie at the left is a tall housing with some levers on the side and a band brake and a drum coming out of itto the right. (I really think it was mechanical now that i think about it). The top of the winch casing has a plate on it with the winch name on it and soemthign to the effect it was from Land Rover of North America on it. Peter is now looking for info on it, does any one have any refernce material on this sucker, and yes I'll get the exact make and post it.

From: LANDROVER@delphi.com Date: Mon, 30 Oct 1995 00:29:09 -0500 (EST) Subject: Re: 109 Trailer Harness and Work Light m Jeremy asks.. > Has anyone out there ever installed a trailer harness into an existing > 109 rear wiring harness? / Shouldn't be a big problem. You might be able to get access to all the wires by pulling off the inside corner cover on the right side. Depending on where you are (geographically) you might not like what you see. Typically, moisture and dirt and road salts play havoc with Joe Lucas's silly connectors and when you start disturbing wires you may have problems you didn't have before. Keep in mind that the Rover uses three lamp filiments on each side (tail lights, brake and directionals) which gives you five wires total when you include the ground wire. The typical (US) trailer only has two lamp filiments on each side. The tail lights are one circuit, the left and right directionals make up two circuits which also double as the brake lights. Four wires total, including the ground. You can wire it all any way you want, but the typical (US) trailer has a flat four-wire plug. Your best bet is to follow Al Richer's suggestion and get the converter. It works, but how well depends on your Rover's wiring. I had problems with the directionals on my SerIII with the converter attached. The same converter and trailer works fine on my VW Rabbit. Go figure. > The same questions also apply to setting up a work light connection (I > though I'd add this while I'm at it and must confess I've not consulted > the wiring diagrams on this one yet to check if there's an existing > connection point) / I don't think there is an existing wire in the harness. I'm assuming you want to mount a light on the back of your 109. You will probably have to run your own.
