If you take you're time (allow 2 days from Baie Comeau to Goose Bay), have a bit of ground clearancegood tires and the ability to handle small repars on the road it's a wonderful drive. It's slow and not a good work out for a tiger but the Volvo handles it with ease. There are many who are intimidated by the road. Simply come prepared with some camping gear if you get stuck out overnight. Fellow travellers are more common on the road now and will provide help.

Above quote stolen from Peter H's signal, without permission! I agree with Peter Hirsch's comments, but would add that in operating my SIII for 20 odd years in Maine, when I have had starting problems (hard for starter to turn engine over) it has been because of dirty or loose connections, and, after some 20 years, just plain worn out cables. My suggestion is that you get a battery terminal brush and thoroughly clean the battery terminals, then go right through the high amperage wiring - battery to solenoid to starter and really clean (bright & shiny) all the cable ends, posts, washers and nuts. Finally, do the same cleaning job on the ground cable. Replace any cable that looks/feels (broken strands, cracked insulation) less than serviceable. If after doing all the above, the engine still cranks hard, I would have the battery load tested. A battery can show 12 or more volts on a voltmeter and still not be able to deliver the very high amperage required for starting. Good luck!

From: SACME@aol.com Date: Sun, 3 Mar 1996 15:53:42 -0500 Subject: Series Wiper Blades I have for years used a generic arm and wiper blade available from the NAPA auto parts stores. While not Solihull original for sure, they have the nice feature of allowing one to rotate the blade carrier on the end of the wiper arm, thus customizing the sweep of the blade to meet personal preferences. I don't have the part no. right at hand, but I bought a set in January for my son's SIII, so I know they still carry them.. Can't remember where you are. If no NAPA store where you are, I would be happy to get details, price, etc. for you. While we're cleaning windshields, and at the risk of being flamed for using bandwidth, I finally got fed up with the OEM windshield washer setup on my SIII. So, I bought a generic washer pump, bolted it to the wing wall near the reservoir, then ran clear tubing back and up through a hole drilled in the wing just forward of the firewall. The tube goes up the edge of the windscreen and across the top to the midpoint of the passenger side windscreen. The tube rides in nylon cable clamps, which are held by screws going into the rubber between the top and windscreen (no, they haven't leaked a drop even in heavy rain). The "squirters" are "T's" from the local aquarium shop, the passenger side becomes an "elbow" by capping the unneeded end with a short piece of tubing with a screw turned into it. I have used the system all winter, at speeds up to 65 mph. Since the squirters point down and are large openings, as compared to "sprayers", I have had no problems at all with clogging. It's also nice to hit the switch and watch the liquid come up the tube on the left side of the windscreen (I am so easy to please!) It is wired into the OEM washer/wiper switch. Next task is to extend system to rear window, headlights, taillights and side mirrors...Whaaat?

How can various people post angry messages about other vehicle's drivers not waving back when the list can't even maintain respect for all LR vehicles and their drivers. PERHAPS, the other drivers are ex-LRO list members who would rather just enjoy their vehicles and not have to defend why they drive a Disco or Defender, or the RR? If only this list could be friendly and bring out the joys and frustrations of LR's rather than become the elite snobby police state it has become. It is in contradiction to the English publication devoted to LR vehicles: Land Rover World (which I learned about via the LRO list). In that mag they have articles about all vehicles from Series to RR and all in between including unusual modified "strange-rovers." They seem to be able to recognize that Land Rover means just that: LAND ROVER. The list splits are fine. (Although I would prefer just one list.)

Ha Ha, such original wit,I was overwhelmed. The real thrust of all this is that the trip home was a real pain-in-the-a** due to the 25-30 knot headwind all the way(about 100 miles) Going over the bridge at the Choptank and the Bay Bridge was quite an adventure! Overall traffic was light and I was aided by a couple of semi rigs that I was able to slipstream on a few uphills. I have to say that I wouldn't hesitate to take the truck on long hauls even in such adverse conditions. I am in no hurry and even so it only took 15 minutes more than in a passenger car. With no headwind it would keep up with traffic thanx to the OD unit. BTW Choptank oysters are the best oysters on the face of the globe bar none.

I used a slightly used superwinch X-9000 and fabbed the mounting plate from 8 inch structural steel channel. The winch sits between the frame rails and the fairlead exits just below the front bumper. No modifications to the frame or bumper were required and the crush cans are still intact so the airbags should not be affected. The only modiification was to the bottom horizontal bar of the factory bull bar. It was relocated slightly lower to give the fairlead room. If anyone is interested in the installation call or E-mail me and I will fax you some pictures.. The gentleman who helped me with the engineering and fabrication is considering making them for sale, and though the complete cost would be more than what I paid (used winch and sweat equity) it will certainly be much less than any other winch currenly offered for the Disco.

Instead of splitting the list around vehicle types how about making a poser list for those of you who refuse to take your pride and joy off the "metalled" road. Those are the types that I would like to see gone. In our club SOLAROS the rides are always a mix of old and new and the talk is never of whose vehicle is better. We are just all out to have fun. There is an element on this list (you know who you are) that continually bashes the newer vehicles and I think I have figured out why- you are jealous. Maybe if you expended the same time and energy at your livelyhood that you do putting down those who can afford a $35,000 vehicle you too could drive one. To those series owners that I have talked to over the p[ast year thank you for your time and I hope we can talk again someday. To the elment that is driving LR owners off this list GET A LIFE. Mark Ritter If you want to respond to this please send it to my address as I will be off this list. ------------------------------[ <- Message 30 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960304 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Though I didn't save that post, I think the LRO as attained (sunk) to level 6, or worse. Time to stop this internecine bickering.

Grice) Subject: Waxoyl and others Waxoyl may indeed be the best, but there are other substances that may be easier/cheaper to obtain locally. If you live near any sizeable military bases or have "surplus" suppliers in your area, diluted "Cosmoline" works well. Another compound is Texaco's "Flocoat" though that is now out of produstion. Originally designed for marine use, it was dumped by the barrel into a ship's flooded hold. When the water was pumped out, the oil would coat every surface. Texaco now makes "Rust Prevenative Compound L" with "L" for liquid at room temperature. It is relatively cheap, available in 5 gal. pails and 35 gal drums. All of these display considerable 'creep' or the ability to self-recover scraped off areas. Cheers *----"Jeep may be famous, LAND-ROVER is Legendary"----* | A. P.

Will see if I can find some back-ups or will write a new listserv programme for the DOS/Waffle set-up on fourfold. BTW, When Uncle Dixon gets some cash, such problems will be solved when he drops a real operating system on the replacement platform... RIght now that platform is competing with a Turner engine. ------------------------------[ <- Message 33 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960304 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

From: jve@phaseone.dk Date: Mon, 04 Mar 96 09:54:42 Subject: 109 loose transfer bearing? Hi all. Man am I tired of working with the gearbox. When I had my 109 sIII in the workshop a few weeks ago getting the brakes fixed, my mechanic pointed out that the transfer brake drum can be moved up and down by hand. This indicates that the bearing in the transfer box is loose. He told me that I could adjust it by removing some of the shims between the xfer box and the speedometer cable housing. I checked with my service manual and it looks like it is possible to do that. I also noticed some nasty clunks when I am motor braking in 2nd gear. Could this be related to the loose bearing? It only happens in 2nd. I have recently renewed all gear wheels on the main axle in the main gearbox and it's smooth as silk (well, you know, in LR terms) when accelerating. SO - what do you think? Can I adjust myself out of this or do I need surgery? Happy rovering.

From: i.mitchell@ic.ac.uk Date: Mon, 4 Mar 96 09:57:40 GMT Subject: Wanted: LWB for Africa hi again Well, it's got to the stage now that it has to be done! My Series III SWB has got to go so that I can buy a LWB for the up and coming Africa trip. WANTED: SIII LWB. Preferably Diesel. Must have a good chassis. Don't care too much about gearbox or engine as will replace these unless they have been recently reconditioned. FOR SALE (or exchange): SIII SWB. 2.25 Petrol, soft top. W Reg but age is a bit of a mystery. (Chassis no. begins '903' which denotes pre 1979). Excellent Chassis. Dual circuit brakes, new shoes all round, new cylinders at rear. New clutch, new slave cylinder and recon. master cylinder. Hi back seats & all round sound proofing. Cassette and mounted speakers. At the moment our plan is to drive to Uganda via Egypt, Sudan, Eritrea, Ethioia and Kenya. It's a 4000 mile mission (not counting distance to Egypt) to boldly go..... Any comments/info on getting a LR to Africa e.g. ferry lines, freighters etc, more than welcome.
