From: Russell Burns <burns@cisco.com> Subject: Re: 88 RR: Self-emptying washer fluid reservoir Date: Sun, 31 Dec 95 7:33:30 PST On my 91 R-rover the check valve is built into the tee where the supply line fits. I broke mine, and tried to replace it with a standard tee from the hardware store, only to find the headlight washers dribbling on the floor. I believe a new tee is $15.oo from RN.

Subject: Re: looking for 109 frame
Hi Rob, and welcome to the world of lro-lite editing. You have just
learned the hard way that you cannot forward documents to the list/digest
unless you take out the ">" marks first. It will retain only the first
and last two lines. This can be a bit annoying, but it does serve a
useful purpose with all the redundant materials that are forwarded by
those of us who can't find the delete key. One other thing that too many
of us "forget" to include when discussing the need for or availability of
large, heavy and bulky items is our location. As with real estate,
location is an important variable, especially on a worldwide list like
this.
So give it another shot, and let us know why you are the CarDoctor?
Rgds,
Walt Swain

My family call me the car doctor because it seem I am aways working to heal some sickly car. They even claim I make house calls, can you believe it? However as I have never found any Land Rover owner who would refuse to help another owner with a problem if he can. I hope some one out there will be able to help me. My father owns a 1968 109 three door land rover which needs a frame badly. (not drivable) This is more then just a project needing parts. I am using this project to get my Father busy after a stroke this year. Money is tight for me and I need to locate & purchase a useable used frame that I can repair for his LR. This will keep him active for at least the coming year. I am hoping to find one here in the US because transport could make it to expensive to obtain. I expect to drive from Chicago to get the frame when I find one. If anyone knows where I could locate a frame please email me with. as much information as you have. I know that new frames are available but they are to expensive at this time. I enjoy reading the news from other users. I have loved british cars for twenty years. I hope to hear from someone in the future. Regards & thanks Rob ------------------------------[ <- Message 6 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960101 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Sun, 31 Dec 95 19:56:38 EST (0056Z) From: LTC Larry Smith <smithla@arngrc-emh2.army.mil> Subject: Corgi 109 Model Robin, Forgot to ask you earlier today (and now also members of the LRO), but I have a Corgi 109 (Model 438?) that I can't seem to track down. Got Dr. Force's Corgi book for Christmas. While reading thru it, I found one of two 109 utes I bought last fall, but not the other. They appear to be the same (#438) 109 green w/white interior and bonnet mounted spare. One has the peened over spun wheel centers. The other has peened over spun wheel centers on the front and pressed on DUALS on the rear. Appears to be "correct" with Corgi tyres, but am not sure. Is this an "after market" addition? Dr. Force states that there are lots of variations, but... The "correct" truck has semismooth tyres (small tread pattern with a large center bar) while the Dually has wide profile tyres with distinct "street" pattern. Don't get me wrong, I'm very happy with my purchase, but as with all Series Land Rover Owners, just trying to track my vehicle's heritage.

Date: Sun, 31 Dec 1995 18:17:34 -0800 From: gpool@pacific.pacific.net (Granville B. Pool) Subject: WTB fresh Range Rover I wish I could say that I'm personally looking to buy a near-new Range Rover for myself, but no such luck. This is for a friend who's not wired. Actually it's my daughter (surgical nurse Shannon) whose friend (anaesthesiologist Brian) wants to buy a Range Rover. NOW! His only car now is a '64 Cadillac convertible (I wish I were kidding but I'm not) and he is not finding it satisfactory in the Eureka, CA winter. Besides he wants to go off-road and the Caddy seems lacking there, too. He feels he can't afford a brand new one but (partly because of living about 4.5 hours away from the nearest dealer) wants a nice, fresh, low mileage one that is (preferrably) still under warranty. Naturally, one that's in North California would be handiest but he's willing to go farther for the right deal, if necessary. From what I've seen, the best deals seem to be in South California. Anyone know of any hot deals out there that I can tell Brian about? If so, please e-mail me directly <gpool@pacific.pacific.net> to get my attention and to avoid bothering the lists further. Thanks so much in advance!

From: HMEdwards@aol.com Date: Mon, 1 Jan 1996 00:27:35 -0500 Subject: Re: Ticking in LR 2.25 Landy88, Changing out the tappets should take about a day if no problems with the head or exhaust are encountered. The rover 2.25 engine is designed to be worked on in the car for everything except the crankshaft and the rear seal, although not everything is easy to work on. The tappets should be easy to do with the engine in the car.Once the head is off you can cut the safety wire on the tappet retaining screws and use a pair of long pliers to pull out the tappet rollers and slides, you can use a piece of bent soft wire to pull the tappet guide out by hooking on the bottom. If you find a roller or tappet with a flat spot on it, you will want to use a flashlight to check that lobe of the cam, it may have some damage. On replacing the rollers, the service manual says the side with the larger chamfer goes to the front of the engine. The side of the slide marked front goes to the front. Replace the push rods at the same time as they are formed to the old tappet slides and may wear bad in new ones. Don't forget to safety wire the retaining screws on reassembly, or you will need repairs to the camshaft and maybe more. The cam bearings are probably fine with only 39k on them. However To replace the cam bearings requires a press/drift and removal of the radiator to get the camshaft out.
