Subject: Junket pudding...

Well, this may not be too related to Land Rover's, so if the discussion 
of chilled puddings offends you, go to the next message. 

I just thought that with the large number of people on this list residing in 
the UK, I might be able to find out whether Junket pudding still exists. I 
believe that it is English, but I could be wrong. It is strawberry 
and vanilla, etc... flavoured pudding that is like a cross between gelatin 
and yogurt. Mmmm, sounds terrible, but it is quite good. I haven't been 
able to find it in years, and even the British shops just kind of stare 
at me when I ask for it! Does anybody know what I'm talking about, or am 
I just remembering childhood hallucinations and slowly going insane?

Subject: propshafts

consider a propshaft to be
   an input shaft, a joint, a centre shaft, a joint, an output shaft
generally the angles  input:centre and centre:output
are equal and opposite.  Then the two uni-joints (if such they be)
need to be in-phase to avoid vibration.
However, if the output:centre shafts are in line, as is very
nearly the case on the Rangie I believe, the phasing won't make any
difference.
The Rangies come with a wierd "phasing" and some say it makes a difference
but I can't see why.

The Disco's get away with a flexible rubber disc at the rear diff'
(reminiscent of the Lotus Elan (?) rubber dough-nuts)
cos the centre:output shafts are nearly inline.

Strictly speaking if the angles input:centre and centre:output
are not equal then both joints should be of the C.V. type,
but if the angles are small it doesn't matter much.
On the SIII-stage-1, input and output are not quite parallel and the car
comes with a CV (double Hookes) at the transfer case end -
it is almost invariable replaced with a single Hookes (uni) when it fails.

The 101 is the vehicle that *really* needs in-phase uni-joints.

I have a small Pascal program (on the web) to play around with
deflection and phase angles.

The Disco and RRII have rubber-mounted weights bolted to the noses
of their diff' housings, presumably as vibration dampers.
Do they actually do anything? ie. do you notice if they fall off?

Subject: Re: Junket pudding...

Actually, I've seen something labeled Junket (tm) pudding mix oin the shelves 
of grocery stores here in the States, at least in New England. I'll eyeball for 
it next I'm in a grocery store....

I believe, though, that all this is is another brand of the Jell-Oish cooked 
puddings that proliferate down here.

Hang on, lemme have a look in my old cookbooks.....

>From "The Joy of Cooking", used without permission:

Rennet Pudding or Junket:

Put into the bowl in which the pudding will be served:
2 cups milk, warmed to exactly 98 gegrees F.
Add 2 teaspoons sugar.
Stir in 2 teaspoons essence of rennet or 1 teaspoon prepared rennet.
(2 teaspoons brandy optional)
Let the pudding stand for approximately 1.5 hours until it coagulates. Sprinkle 
with cinnamon or nutmeg and serve cold.

Personally, were I to cook this, I would add the prepared fruit mix when the 
milk went in, at the same temperature (heat them together). The vanilla is a 
simple substitution for the brandy.

Owing to rust problems, I need to replace the rear body crossmember in
my Rangie. This is the box channel that forms part of the steel
tailgate  frame. I have the replacement section (from Bearmach), so I
guess I need to unbolt body panels until I reach it, then weld the new
one in.

Anyone done this before ?  Any advice ?

Subject: Range Rover front propshaft
Date: Sun, 26 Nov 1995 21:50:51 +-100

Andy Dingley wrote Nov 25 and were worried about the front propshaft on his 
Range Rover. He suspected that he had two halves from different shafts. 
Stefan R. Jacob tended to agree the same day. I can probably clarify what 
seems to be an error! All front propshafts on Range Rovers (to my 
knowledge, at least from 1986-onwards) are assembled with the rear yoke 
leading the front yoke by two splines!!!! I cannot say for sure the reason 
for this, but for a propshaft to totally eliminate the variation in angle 
velocity on the center shaft, during rotation, from being transferred to 
the output side, the inclination of the shaft in and out must be the same. 
This is not the case for the front propshaft on a Range Rover. The first 
time I have seen this mentioned in any Land Rover litterature is in the 
following Service Bulletin from 1986. At the same time Land Rover 
introduced the "front driveline vibration damper", the large piece of metal 
assembled to the front diff on many Range Rovers. I believe the phasing 
introduced to the propshaft is to eliminate harmonics set up in the front 
driveline. The following bulletin is very handy for sorting out vibrational 
problems.

This is re-typed from:

Land Rover/Range Rover Service Bulletin
August 1986 (Bulletin 08/86)

										Item 527
										RR 86 MY

51/54	VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS

The following is intended as an aid for the diagnosis and solution of 
vibration problems on 1986 model year Range Rovers.

When investigating complaints of vibration in the vehicle, it is important 
that the vehicle is assessed in a logical manner, so that, by a process of 
elimination, it is possible to determine the exact source of the problem. 
Therefore the first part of this bulletin gives a step by step sequence for 
the diagnosis of vibration sources and their elimination. Before initiating 
any investigation, however, check the vehicle to ensure that the cause is 
not due to an obviously simple fault. For example: check that all engine 
and gearbox mountings are of the correct specification and are correctly 
fitted; check that all exhaust mountings are correctly fitted, in 
particular check that there is no metal to metal contact between the 
mountings and the body; check the torque of the propshaft drive flange 
bolts, the universal joints for excessive play and transfer box and 
differential bearings for excessive wear.

If your initial investigations do not identify a problem it will be 
necessary to carry out the following procedure, which will involve some 
testing of the vehicle.

NOTE

Should it be found at the outset that several vibrations are evident at 
different road or engine speeds, each must be treated individually. It is 
highly unlikely that the vibrations will be due to the same problem and 
therefore each will require a separate cure.

Similarly, if a vehicle is found to be suffering from a particularly harsh 
vibration, it may not be possible to detect other, less noticeable vibra  
tions which may exist. However, once the primary vibration has been 
eliminated, the secondary vibration, which again will only be evident at 
different road or engine speeds, will then become prominent. Again each 
vibration must be treated separately, allowing the causes to be isolated 
and the necessary remedial action taken.

RANGE ROVER VIBRATION DIAGNOSIS PROCEDURE

1.	Road test the vehicle. Does the problem always occur at the same road 
speed irrespective of the gear selected? (SEE 	NOTE A).
	YES: CHECK 2.
	NO: Confirm that the problem occurs at the same engine RPM in all gears. 
CHECK 21.
	
2.	Does the problem occur at 30-50 mph (48-80 km/hr) in all the available 
gears?
	YES: Check that the front propshaft is correctly phased. The rear yoke 
must lead the front yoke by two splines. Fit correctly 	if necessary and 
re-test. If problem persists CHECK 3.
	NO: CHECK 9.
	
3.	Mark the drive flange and remove the front propshaft, engage the diff 
lock and re-test. Has the vibration been 	eliminated?		
	YES: CHECK 4.
	NO: Check balance of front and rear wheel and tyre assemblies, using 
ON-CAR balancing equipment. Check that tyres 	have even wear 
characteristics with no evidence of flat spots. If wheels and tyres OK 
Check 19.
	
4.	Check drive flanges (front output drive flange and front differential 
pinion flange) for eccentricity and run-out. (SEE NOTE 	B). Do the flanges 
conform to the tolerances?
	YES: CHECK 7.
	NO: CHECK 5.
	
5.	Replace the flange(s). Recheck the eccentricity and run-out. Does the 
flange(s) conform to tolerances?
	YES: CHECK 6.
	NO: Fit 2nd replacement flange. Recheck eccentricity and run-out. If 
tolerances are still incorrect, the differential unit (or 	alternatively 
the transfer box) is suspect and should be checked separately. If 
tolerances correct CHECK 6.	

6.	Re-test the vehicle with the front propshaft fitted. Is problem still 
evident?
	YES: CHECK 7.
	NO: ------.	

7.	Substitute a replacement propshaft from a donor vehicle and Re-test. Is 
the problem still evident?
	YES: CHECK 8.
	NO: Replace propshaft with new unit (or leave on donor unit).	

8.	Fit the vibration damper assembly to the front axle, (see Attachment 1). 
(The attachment contains some figures. For further 	information, please 
contact Internet E-mail address: bjjen13b@telepost.no).Refit the front 
propshaft and road test. Is the 	problem still evident?
	YES: Repeat diagnosis.
	NO: ------.	

9.	Does the problem occur at 80-80 mph (112-129 kph) in ALL the available 
gears?
	YES: Check that the rear propshaft is correctly fitted. The front and rear 
yokes must be IN LINE. There should be no phase 	difference. Realign if 
necessary and re-test. If problem persists, check ALL wheel and tyre 
assemblies for balance. If 	problem still evident CHECK 10.
	NO: CHECK 19.	

10.	Mark the drive flanges and remove the rear propshaft. Secure the 
transmission brake drum with the propshaft flange nuts. 	With the 
differential lock engaged, re-test the vehicle. Is the problem still 
evident?
	YES: CHECK 11.
	NO: CHECK 15.	

11.	Remove the transmission brake drum and re-test. Is the problem still 
evident?
	YES: Cause of problem is unknown. Re-check diagnostic procedure.
	NO: CHECK 12.	

12.	Check the rear output flange on the transfer box, where the DRUM SITS, 
for eccentricity and run-out (See NOTE B). 	Does the flange conform to the 
tolerances?
	YES: The handbrake drum is suspect and must be replaced with a known good 
component. Then CHECK 15.
	NO: CHECK 13.
	
13.	Replace the output flange and recheck the eccentricity and run-out. 
Does the flange conform to the tolerances?
	YES: CHECK 14.
	NO: Fit 2nd replacement output flange. Recheck eccentricity and run-out. 
If tolerances still incorrect, transfer box is suspect, 	and should be 
checked separately. If tolerances correct CHECK 14.	

14.	Refit the original handbrake drum and secure to flange with propshaft 
nuts. Re-test the vehicle without the propshaft fitted. 	Is problem still 
evident?
	YES: The handbrake drum is suspect and must be replaced with a known good 
component. Then CHECK 15.
	NO: CHECK 15.	

15.	Check the rear differential pinion flange for eccentricity and run-out. 
(See NOTE B). Does the flange conform to the 	tolerances?
	YES: CHECK 17.
	NO: CHECK 16.	

16.	Replace the flange. Recheck the eccentricity and run-out. Does the 
flange conform to the tolerances?
	YES: CHECK 17.
	NO: Fit 2nd replacement flange. Recheck eccentricity and run-out. If 
tolerances are still incorrect, the differential unit is 	suspect, and 
should be checked separately. If tolerances correct CHECK 17.	

17.	Re-test vehicle with rear propshaft fitted. Is problem still evident?
	YES: CHECK 18.
	NO: ------.	

18.	Substitute a replacement propshaft from donor vehicle and re-test. Is 
the problem still evident?
	YES: CHECK 20.
	NO: Cause of problem is unknown. Recheck fault diagnosis procedure.	

19.	If the vehicle has a manual gearbox, does the problem occur at 30-50 
mph (48-80 kph) in all the available gears except 4th 	gear.
	YES: CHECK 20.
	NO: Cause of problem is unknown. Recheck fault diagnosis procedure.	

20.	Disconnect the front propshaft. Re-test with the differential lock 
engaged. Is the vibration still evident or is it worse?
	YES: If this is confirmed, main gearbox is suspect, and should be 
investigated separately.
	NO: RE-CHECK 2.	

21.	Are the correct engine mountings fitted? Current production usage:- 
Part no 566222 (colour coded yellow spot) for front 	engine mountings. Part 
No NRC 9154 (colour coded white spot) for rear engine mountings. (See also 
Service Bulletin 	11A/85, Item 1).
	YES: CHECK 22.
	NO: Fit new engine mountings and re-test. If problem persists CHECK 22.	

22.	Remove the water pump drive belt. Test the vehicle statically by 
revving the engine in neutral. In order to avoid any 	overheating of the 
engine, DO NOT prolong the test. Does the problem remain?
	YES: CHECK 24.
	NO: CHECK 23.	

23.	Replace the fan and viscous drive unit, by substitution with known 
components from a donor vehicle. Refit the drive belt. Re-	test the vehicle 
statically. Is the problem still evident?
	YES: Replace water pump.
	NO: ------.	

24.	Replace the electronic control unit by substitution with a known unit 
from a donor vehicle. Does the problem still exist?
	YES: Cause of problem is unknown. Recheck fault diagnosis. If the vehicle 
is an automatic, check torque converter balance 	(see Attachment 2). (The 
attachment contains some figures. For further information, please contact 
Internet E-mail address: 	bjjen13b@telepost.no).
	NO: ------.

Subject: Wanted: good used 88" frame

Well people, the adventure begins. I got the green light from my wife to go 
ahead and find a frame for my '66 IIa 88 as sort of a christmas present. 

As some of you know, this started as a brake project. However, as I got into 
it, I realized that unless I find a frame, there is no point in putting 
another dime into this vehicle. I started getting scared at what I was seeing 
happeining around the spring mounts. Even if I fixed the brakes, I would 
worry about every manhole cover I drove over. Then in a year I'd be taking 
the whole thing apart again.

Ladies and gentleman, I got screwed. The only way I'm not going to take a 
$2000 hit on this truck is to restore it. I believe the motor and tranny are 
fine - compression is good and it has lots of power. But my story is akin to 
the saga of the guy in the last RN newsletter. I didn't know what I was doing 
when I bought it and I'm paying the price.

Ok, so enough sob story. Time to get on with it. I love this truck anyway and 
want to save it. Its got all the classic rot problems. I need a frame and 
bulkhead. I need to get them used because I cannot afford the nice, new 
galvanized ones. Basically, I need to see what I can do for $1000. I won't be 
able to save up the extra $2000 for new ones and the time it would take 
would sap all my energy anyway. I'm willing to travel to get one, but I have 
to include my travel costs in the $1000 tag (I have my father-in-law's 
Suburban to pull a trailer, but I may have to rent a trailer) - I'm in 
Minneapolis Minnesota.

I hope I'm not dreaming - the couple of feelers I put out for used frames 
before seem to tell me that I might be able get these for around $800. 
Comments? Anyone have one? I've heard I should avoid used frames freshly 
painted as the paint might hide the real story. Opinions on this?

My santa list just took some major restructuring to fill in some holes in my 
tool collection. I have a good compressor and assorted tools at my disposal. 
All in all, I think I am ready to take on this project. I have the Leslie 
Porter book now, I plan on getting every book I can find on Series LR 
mechanicals, and I have the support of my spouse (the biggest thing).

If anyone wants to help, I'll put you up and feed you while you stay - put 
that in your '96 vacation plans :-) Call it the " 'Net Restoration Project."

Thanks a lot,

Tim

My wife noticed a "rough" idle in our 96 North American Disco with 
automatic transmission. I'm not sure I would have seen it if she did 
not point it out. When the engine has warmed up the tach is going up 
and down maybe 50 rpm. The rpm are changing every few seconds.

Anyone else have this?

An RR driver waved at me and of course I waved back. All the other 
5 LR's I saw that day were parked.

G'day all from Oz,

My first reply after a short burst of lurking.

I happened to be reading my workshop manual on Fri 24, in contemplation
of a swivel hub seal replacement and as a byline noticed the statement
that the front driveshaft yokes are not meant to line up (at least for a 110).

I'm the contented owner of a 1985 110 with a factory fitted (in Australia
only) Isuzu 3.9L diesel. So far 250000 km at 11 L/100 km.

 It might also be leaking from the pickup tube or the fuel sender

Subject: Upper tailgate NAS RR '89

Can anyone tell me whether the upper tailgate of a NAS '90 will fit a NAS
'89.  Mine's rusting and would like to replace with an upper tailgate having
the 3rd brake light.

Thanks guys.

I dont know about "mount directly" but there are adapter plates and
conversion kits available here in OZ, and probably more in the UK.  The only
manufacturer I know of on-line is Marks 4WD
http://www.ozemail.com.au/~marks4wd   Check out Lloyds 4x4 magazine
http://www.sofcom.com.au/4WD/4WD.html and look for the excellent article by
Andrew Maeder for more info..

I dont know but there are/were V8 conversion LRO's on the net, come on guys
'fess up.  Should I really try to find a series 1 to put that 4.4L V8 I've
got in the shed into..   ( polution control regs killed the idea of fitting
it to the stage 1)  

cheers
