From: PZavaletta@aol.com Date: Sun, 3 Dec 1995 06:50:10 -0500 Subject: How To Fix Squeaky Steering Wheel? I have a '95 Range Rover County Classic with the ole squeaky steering wheel. My dealer has lubricated it once, then ordered the part fix for it, but it is on back-order. If there is a way that I can fix it myself, please respond with instructions as to where to lubricate. I remember the dealer saying something about a bushing near the firewall, but do I get to it from inside, under the wheel, or from under the hood? Also, what do I lubricate it with, pending arrival of the part fix? Thanks in advance Peter M.

A few years ago, a lawyer here in town had two 109's. He was driving one
around without the proper registration until stopped by the local
constabulary. They gleefully wrote a number of summonses - very embarrassing
since he was the city attorney at the time. He took it all in stride, parked
the 109 on his front lawn, adorned it with numerous Christmas lights and
wrapped it with the yellow vinyl tape that reads "Police Line - Do Not
Cross"!!! A picture of it made it to the local newspaper.

From: Grahame.Harden@BRI.NRC.CA Date: Sun, 3 Dec 1995 12:09:12 -0500 Subject: Diesel... In reply to Bill Adams...... 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. ...There is something not quite right here, and cranking it over cures the symptom not the cause. To put it into perspective, I ran a SIII diesel on a more than daily basis, through several north Finnish winters. With no engine pre-heat, no cover, the engine *always* fired the first piston stroke! This was at -30C, 10/30W in the sump, 70% glycol in the cooling system. The Finns have some superb diesel fuel up there, which may well help. But anyway... certainly the battery was a key feature, since I had problems until I ditched the 2 yr old Exide job and bolted in a local 105 AH 12V unit. It seemed as though the problem was the heat generated by the plugs, rather than cranking speed with the old battery. It usually took a while for the air to clear... you couldn't breath for the unburnt diesel fumes spewing out the pipe. The Finns wouldn't park next to the exhaust side, pretty major cleaning job if they did.... The only problem was the oil drag on the transmission and the lack of general heat production from the fearsome standard power unit. Anyhow, I expect you've checked the normal things like pump timing, starter motor/electrics, etc. etc., so yep, why not ditch the batteries and bolt in a new 12V unit. The things are consumables.

Howdy folks..
Gloversville is no longer a dirt road off the Information Superhighway! A
local company is providing service via a local phone call - so - I'm
switching Internet service providers and I'll have a new E-Mail address.
My new address is landrvr@blacdisc.com
I'll be dropping the Delphi address probably by the end of December, unless
I have a lot of mail problems with the new provider.

Pulling away from a green light last night something went BANG in the driveline and the old 109 is now so much dead weight. I pushed it off to the side of the road(quite hair raising in suburban D.C. saturday night traffic) and called in a roll-off. Symptom A: no pwer to the driving wheels. Symptom B: Driveshaft does not spin with gearbox engaged (both front and rear) Symptom C: gearbox and overdrive unit shift smoothly through all gears. I'm going to survey the damage tomorrow and see just how bad it is. Any ideas and suggestions from the gallery before I get my hands dirty would be graciously recieved. ------------------------------[ <- Message 11 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951204 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

The 12/2 list was truncated (or at least I received it that way). Message
headers and footers from the Major were intact, but only 7 of 30+ messages.
Any one else with this affliction or is my no-namo service provider screwing up?

]Date: Sun, 3 Dec 95 23:55:40 -30000 From: "Adam Messer" <amesser@usaid.gov> Subject: Mounting a hi-lift on a disco I've gota '94 Disco with factory bullbars, and faced the same issue of where to put the hi-lift. After considerable thought, I decided to mount it on the bull bar. I just drilled two holes in the bullbar, and used stainless steel bolts to secure the hi-lift. I wrapped the bullbar with an old bicycle inner tube to cut down the rattling, and put a bungee cord around the hi-lift handle to keep it from bouncing around. I've jacked the front bull bar without any major problem--too bad the mud was so deep it didn't make a difference. Unfortunately the Disco I have doesn't have a receiver for a hitch--that option sounds great. Aren't there jacking points one can install on a Disco? ------------------------------[ <- Message 15 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 951204 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
