From: howtaw@hg.uleth.ca Date: Sat, 02 Dec 1995 01:54:53 MST Subject: 3.9L EFI Thanks for the suggestions that I have received on the different means of fueling a 3.5L V8 that was once EFI. Some of you have expresed concern over the operation of the 3.9L with the 3.5L EFI unit. At last report it was running very well and the owner was pleased with the increase in power over the 3.5L unit. If anyone is planning on doing this conversion I would point out the fact that this one was done by the Land Rover dealer in my area. You may wish to research the matter further before you begin to tear out the resident 3.5L lump. In case anyone is wondering where the 3.9L engine come from I'll tell you. Someone with deep pockets put a 5.0L Linchfield engine into a brand new RR. It went strait from the show room to the shop. The 5.0L is major $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$. I can only dream.

Subject: FAQ ftp site Date: Sat, 02 Dec 1995 05:18:54 -0800 From: Benjamin Allan Smith <bens@archimedes.vislab.navy.mil> A few folks have been asking if there was an ASCII version of the FAQ that could be ftp'd. Up until now, I had to say no. Now I can say yes. ftp://owens.ridgecrest.ca.us/pub/users/bens/FAQ/ In that directory are 8 files: LR_FAQ.top, LR_FAQ.intro, LR_FAQ.1, LR_FAQ.2, LR_FAQ.3, LR_FAQ.4, LR_FAQ.5, LR_FAQ.6. They correspond to the parts of the FAQ as found on the web page. The Web page will allways have the most current version as I make little updates every few days (mostly on club and vendor information). I plan on making an ASCII version about once a quarter. Also if you have any club or vendor information that I don't have, please email Dixon or myself.

Hi, About 8-9 years ago there was a SIII 109 Santana With a chev 6,For sale here in Paradise,CA.Legally registered.! The owner was out of state or country and a relative was selling it. I think it was around $5000. It sat about a year.It was eventually bought by someone down around LA.

I am now a proud owner of a only-slightly-less-common-than-dormobiles, ever-popular Garmin GPS45! How did a poor (and I mean broke) schmuck like me finally get my hands on a GPS, after depositing huge amounts of drool in various West Marine stores, and lusting after them for years? Well, all it takes is a totally cool brother. Yep, Stan (the one I've gotten hooked on rovers) got me one for my birthday. My roommate Craig coughed up the mounting bracket, cigarette lighter adapter, and PC software to go with it. (And to be fair, the excessive gift certificate to Tower Records (to replace the 22 CD's stolen from my desk at work), TriBond game, truffles, and (coolest of all) videos of The Wrong Trousers and A Grand Day Out(? I forget the name but it's still cool) that Rachel got me was great too.) Anyway, as Granville said at the Mendocino run, the best way to spend one's 50th birthday is in the company of other LR owners. Went to lunch with a bunch of the local (Silicon Valley) LR folks (lotsa discos, a D90, 2 109's, and Bill Growl's 88" Elphino) and even had a good beer (don't tell HP!) to go with my Buffalo Burger. Then, headed out to Scotty's to play some poker, and was completely surprised by the arrival of my roommate along with my sister. (Rachel and Stan and I had gone out together.) Pizza, beer, Cake, and a gift of one of only two in existance LROA wall clocks rounded out the evening. And to boot, I even won at Poker! Wow! So anyway, anyone know of cool GPS software I should get?

I'm having difficulty getting the diesel to fire on very cold (<30 F)mornings. The neighbors have so far been either too kind to say anything or are simply plotting secretly to grab me just before another session of endlesss engine cranking at 6 a.m.. I think this is due to wimpy 6V batteries that were installed by the previous(cheapskate)owner. Glow plugs test out fine,I leave them on for at least a minute and sometimes more. The key to getting the engine started is RPMs. If it cranks fast, it starts fast (this holds true for the Volvo marine diesel in my sailboat). Therefore I think I need MORE POWER-ERGHH! Anybody have a solution to this? I wonder if two 12v batteries in parallel would work or do I simply need to get two ultra robust 6v units. HMMM.

Gee, this is pretty embarassing, since my 88 is a SII and I don't
know the answer right off the top of my head! I'll name everything
I can think of off the top of my head:
-- Funky valence panel between the front bumper and grill. Two
pieces riveted together that are flatter and longer than the one I
see on other Rovers.
-- "Pendant" tie rod ends, i.e. the nut's on top and they hang down
below the part they attach to.
-- My headlights seem different than everyone else's; they stick out
farther, with bigger and rounder chrome rims (I'm starting to reach
here...)
-- Horn button is on a stalk attached to the steering column, not in
the center of the wheel.
-- If it still has the original exhaust system, you can see it
coming into the left wheel well and travelling under the floorboard
to go under the vehicle.
-- Would the optional one be the door locks? They perform their
locking on the *outside* of the vehicle, with a pawl catching onto a
post inside the handle pocket; the lock is attached to the handle
itself.
Just for good measure, mine has another feature only ever seen on
SII's, and only a small number of them sent to Canada (where mine
came from): one-piece doors! Kinda like the rear 2 doors of a 109
SW. One continuous piece, with the galvanized "capping" just a
piece bolted to the outside, and little drain tubes coming down from
the window tracks and poking out through the door skin.

[ truncated by lro-digester (was 6 lines)] > Series II from the later Series IIA, and are can be seen without lifting the > hood (bonnet)? I'll take a crack at this one. But first what did you mean by "later Series IIA"? Does later mean just that the SIIA was made after the SII, or are you differentiating between SIIs and SIIAs made after, say, 1968 when the headlights moved from the breakfast to the wings? I'll assume that you are asking the difference between the SII and early SIIAs 1.The Serial number of the SIIA has a suffix letter starting with an "A", look on the right front spring horn. 2.The Series IIA introduced the 2.25L diesel. A badge nenoting this is found on the grill, normally the lower left courner of the grill (as you face the rever from the front) 3.The steering arms (connecting the tie rod to the swivel balls) was relocated from attatching to the top of the swivel ball to attaching to the bottom of the swivel ball. 4.In Oct 1963 the headlamps were changed to a flat lenses from a convex lens design used in all previous Land Rovers. 4.Early in 1962, a 12 seat 109" models became availible, having 6 inward facing seats insead of bench seats. (10 seaters were taxed as cars and 12 seaters were not) [This must be the option] Ben ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Benjamin Smith------------bens@vislab.navy.mil---------1972 Land Rover SIII 88 Science Applications International Corporation Naval Air Warfare Center, Weapons Division, China Lake "...If I were running such a contest, I would specifically eliminate any entry from Ben involving driving the [Land] Rover anywhere.

Date: Sat, 02 Dec 1995 22:43:20 -0800 From: "John Y. Liu" <johnliu@earthlink.net> Subject: Christmas Decorations For Your Rover? Well, I just finished decorating the Rover for Christmas. 200 white lights (and plenty of duct tape) outlining the bonnet, wings, windscreen, rear door and roof, powered by a little 12VDC-to-120VAC inverter. Looks great at night, hideous in the day. Hope the duct tape doesn't bond permanently to the paint in the next month -- I'll have to peel off a piece every couple of days to check. Also hope it doesn't rain much! I don't usually do anything this elaborate. Usually a wreath with bow and some battery-powered lights. But since we moved from a house to an apartment this year, I guess I just needed something else to light up. So I started wondering -- does anyone else decorates their Rover for the holidays? ------------------------------[ <- Message 16 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951203 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
