Date: Wed, 1 Nov 1995 10:13:15 -0500 (EST) From: Dixon Kenner <dkenner@emr1.emr.ca> Subject: The RoverWeb has moved to a new home. Many years ago TerriAnn wrote a short 12k file about the Land Rover for the British Cars mailing list. Little did she know that this file would eventually form the basis of a much larger document and a World Wide Web site. About three/four years ago, I took TerriAnn's short document and wrote the first Land Rover FAQ. Over subsequent months, the FAQ grew until it stabilised at approximately 99k. Later, Greg Hiner took this version of the FAQ, and a longer (115k) version and wrote the first RoverWeb for Land Rover owners on the Internet. Eventually, time restraints, load restrictions, etc. on the first RoverWeb site grew to an extent where the site had to be moved. At this time, both Ray Harder and I volunteered. After some discussion, it was agreed that Ray would take over the site, put time and effort into the RoverWeb, and help it grow further. Ray's efforts have created the best source of Land Rover information on the InterNet. The RoverWeb even managed to get publicised briefly in the latest edition of Land Rover World where it is described as "the tip for lots of stuff on specifications, parts, general maintenance etc etc is the following address: http://www.missouri.edu/RoverWeb/." It has also been described as the premier Rover site on the InterNet by others. Lately, time constraints have eaten into the time that Ray has available to maintain the site and it became necessary to move the site yet again. I and Ben Smith have volunteered to take over the RoverWeb and given it a new home. After several weeks of work, Ben and I can happily announce that it is ready in its new home. As of this morning, the RoverWeb has been moved to a new site. The RoverWeb now sits beside the Ottawa Valley Land Rovers web site, which itself carries a great amount of information (Hey, every club seems to be getting into the WWW trip, so we figured that it was about time the largest and oldest Canadian club got its Internet act together... :-)) The FAQ has again been expanded to where it is now approximately 270k in size. Many portions have been completely rewritten and greatly expanded. The Clubs section allows users to jump to other Land Rover club web sites here they are known to exist. Club information, while still incomplete, has been expanded to give more known information about existing, or past Land Rover, or Rover clubs. New sections have been added, such as the Guide to Identifying Land Rovers, production data etc. The URL's for the two new sites are: The official OVLR page http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/OVLR/ The new RoverWeb http://www.ridgecrest.ca.us/RoverWeb/ Come check out the new OVLR and RoverWeb site.

From: Sanna@aol.com Date: Wed, 1 Nov 1995 10:52:25 -0500 Subject: Re: RE: Heater vents/controls '90 RR >>I have the same problem with lack of hot air flow through the fascia vents in my 90 RR County. Hot air is not supposed to flow through the facia vents, only rammed air fresh or A/C. The A/C system is completely seperate from the heating system. The dash of your RR is essentially a hollow chamber from the passenger door to the steering wheel, and then a flexible tube connects this chamber to the far left dash vent (The tube resistance is why the A/C air coming from the far right vent is so feeble. Someone online here solved the problem with a 2" auxilliary fan spliced inline.) There are two hefty fans that scoop up the air around the front seat passenger's knees, cool it and then blow it through the hollow dash and out the facia vents. The reason you don't have a glove box is because that's where the A/C element is. On most American cars the A/C & heated air paths are mixed, so during cool damp weather you can heat the air conditioned air to get warm, dry air for rapid defogging. You can't do that on the RR, so that's why they added that strange setting on the controls that blows freezing dry air out the facia vents along with hot air out the heater or defroster. Don't get intimidated by stripping the dash. It's really pretty easy, and for the most part just screws. Good luck. - Tony ------------------------------[ <- Message 11 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951102 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

From: BobandSueB@aol.com Date: Wed, 1 Nov 1995 11:18:25 -0500 Subject: automatic choke for series Alan Richer asked,, Subject: Bogus idle when cold - any hints? My 109 has an odd problem when started on a cold(er) morning. With the choke, er, cold start control pulled to close the butterfly and kick up the idle it starts fine, but after idling a few minutes, it seems to load up with gas and stall. Duncan Said,, So if you truly want a vehicle you can start and leave alone in the driveway for minutes while it warms up, you need something with an automatic choke...which I've never seen for a Series Rover (short of a Chevy V-6 or Rover V-8 conversion!) It's probably worth pointing out here that warming a vehicle up like that wastes gas, pollutes the environment needlessly, etc. Half a minute or less of warmup and attentive adjustment of the choke as the vehicle warms up while you drive it down the road is the "best" approach. (If I totally misunderstood what you were saying, you already know how chokes work, and you find the preceding patronizing, please forgive me!) Duncan Hi Alan and Duncan,, If someone goes to a weber two barrel, a usual choice is 32/36 DGV. However if you get a 32/36 DGAV, it has an electric automatic choke. All is needed is a 12v connection from ignition switch. My guess is there probably is a weber one barrel with the same option.

My wife and I first saw a Discovery while vacationing in Europe two years earlier. We were so taken by the looks of the vehicle that we took many pictures of hoping to see one in the US and finally buy one. In November of '94 we bought ours and have taken it on many off road adventures, several on the 4wd only trails of Canyon Lands National Park here in Utah. I have looked at a 96 Discovery and have noticed that it has an amber turn indicator section in the rear tail lamp as did the Discos we saw in Europe. Our 95 doesn't. We want those tail lamps on our '95! Does anyone know the cost of the rear tail lamps with the amber turn indicator? When I asked our local dealer, they said that they don't have a '96 parts list or prices as yet. Thanks!

Date: Wed, 1 Nov 1995 12:14:50 -0500 From: Tim McDaniel <mcdaniel@adra.com> Subject: Tire information and other stuff On the subject of tire sizes/information, I believe that for metric sizes (235 85 R 16), the first number is interpreted as the tire's width at it's widest measurement. This is not always equal to the tread width. The actual tread width will be determined by the tire design and manufacturer. For stiffer sidewalls the number will be closer to the tread width than for soft sidewalls. The second number is the aspect ratio that uses the tire height and the above width. There are at least a couple of tire size calculators on the Web. You might want to check out the following: http://www.di.com/Talon/Fun/TireSize.html http://www.powerdog.com/tiresize.cgi Also, my recently acquired, unnamed Series III is not yet running.

The biggest problem by far though was the plate that holds the bottom of the rear springs to the axles. There are two bolts on each side that go into a nut plate welded to the axle. I used copious amounts of liquid wrench, along with a propane touch in order to remove them, and still ended up breaking two and having to drill them out. If it wasn't for these rear bolts, I could have easily done this is 3-4 hours, if not less, but it took two days instead. (I recently helped someone but the springs on a D90 and the design was changed so that there is no longer a nut plate, but I don't know when the design was changed). I also used a spring compressor, but if I had had an assistant I think I might have been able to do with out it. I also had a good bit of difficulty with the cotter pin on the upper rear shock mounts, they too had become fused to the mount due to rust. I have really been impressed with the ride that the new springs/shocks have given me. It is a good bit firmer than with the stock suspension, yet without becoming too harsh. (Of course anything is better compared to driving a series vehicle<g>). These springs seem to be much more progressive than the stock springs also it has noticibly decreased my body roll. (I don't have sway bars) I would recommend to anyone installing these, that some sort of penetrant be applied to all the fasteners for a few days prior to installation especially on the older vehicles or those that have been in the salt belt.

Date: Wed, 1 Nov 95 17:26:54 EST From: jib@big.att.com (Jan Ben) Subject: Solexes on v8 SUCK!!! Dear List: I Spent some time yesterday changing oils on Juan. The guys who sold it to me supposedly did a complete service on it before delivery. Well, the diffs produced grey watery foamy stuff, sludge came out of hub housings, distributor points were shot, and the cap/rotor/wires were of original vintage. Vel, are you listening? Anywho, the good news is that I like the Lucas distributor. It has that great movable plate that lets you adjust dwell angle externally while running. Good idea. I forgive them the F16 landing gear snafu. OTOH, the dual Solexes on the v8 are awful! I get better milage out of my 5.0 Bronco, and lots more torque. For C. sake, I had to choke the thingies to rev over 3,000 under load. My land speed record stands at 70 MPH. I KNOW the fireball can do better than that! Zo, any spare SU's out there? Any (1st hand only, svp) experience with the Offy or Edelbk and Holley? Or Webers? Dr. Hardcastle in his v8 book mentioned an Isky cam, that can be obtained for measly $94 US. Any before and after comments on that?

Twarog" <ftwarog@moose.uvm.edu> Subject: Old news This may be old news to some, but a while back I mentioned that Land Rover World published a blurb about airbags being fitted to UK Defender 90s in 1997 (done to US spec.) and I went on to fantasize about those vehicles finding their way over here... well, a few sources have confirmed a strong rumor that the Defender 90 will return to the shores of North America in either 1997 or 1998. So, if you miss out on the last '95s, wait a year! To those who couldn't find the poster in Four Wheeler mag, it was found outside of the back cover wrapped in plastic along w/ the magazine itself. Also, keep up with that publication, because they took delivery of (another) Def 90 two months ago and planned on doing some modifications/ long term tests/ off-road reports on the vehicle in the coming months. Lastly, I can't remember if I told folks on the digest about a friend of mine who painted his 90's fiberglass hardtop to match his car (green w/ a white roof panel). I have to admit it did look superb!! If the paint holds up 6 months from now, I'm sure I'll be doing the same to our blue one.

No other manufacturer in the world uses such an extreme test. The objective of the test is to ensure that engines can operate in the most extreme off-road conditions and that oil supply and pressure operates correctly at extreme angles. Engines are tested at varying angles of up to 45 degrees nose up and nose down, with a tilt of up to 35 degrees either side. The engines undergo tests for 25 hours at each of the four extremes at maximum power and maximum torque. <end excerpt from Range Rover testing> Is this testing common to other LR's (e.g. D-90 & Disco)? _____ /|__|_\___ Bob Watson | | | \ a-robw@microsoft.com |---|___|___\____ Mountlake Terrace, WA, USA | _|= |= |o_ }\ [|_/_ \__|___|/_\_}| '95 Beluga Black Discovery \_/ \_/ N7UMU N7UMU ------------------------------[ <- Message 38 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951102 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

From: JCassidyiv@aol.com Date: Wed, 1 Nov 1995 23:01:12 -0500 Subject: Old Man EMU Springs Just got my '87 RR back from my mechanic today, after he fitted the OME springs I mentioned in the earlier post. Distance between front axle housing and bump stop increased from 2.25 inches to 3.75 inches on both sides. Distance in the rear increased from 3 inches to 4.25 inches on the right and from 3.75 inches to 5 inches on the left. The vehicle rides somewhat stiffer, but is not rough. The height increase is noticeable when entering and exiting the vehicle, though. There was a good article on fitting these springs in the June 1995 issue of Four Wheeler magazine. They claim it to be a 4-5 hour process. My mechanic completed it in a very full afternoon. He said the front springs were more difficult to change. I'm not sure of the spring rates of these sets, but I'm sure that Laney at Rover's North would be happy to let you know. I fitted these springs with the standard Bilstein shock set-Laney seemed to think that their length would be sufficient. I'll let you know-after my nect off-road stint ;-).
