A brass bezel complete with all locking lugs and black and blue paint can be winging its way to you tomorrow if you so wish. For the record, it came out of an Army Series II SWB Command Reconnaisance Land Rover which I had to wreck some years ago. It was so rusty that even the birmabright was rusty!!

I have >a panel which looks all original. There is a green "oil" lamp in the >center. If this a warning lamp, why is it not red? Well, actually, I remember, a few years ago, that I test-drove a Ser III that was for sale from some chap here in the Townships. I realized that the green light (oil pressure) was on and told the owner, in the passenger seat: " Uhhhh, buddy, the green light is on...." To that, he replies, " Oh, that light? It means Go, go, go!" So perhaps, it should have been red. For your info, I didn't buy the Rover. Salut!

Remember the big stink I made a while back about the Rangie ignoring my wavings and flashings on the Maine Turnpike, and how kind the Rangie owner was to e-mail me and explain why he ignored my greetings. Well, now the shoes on the other foot. Last night about 6:45 p.m. EDT, my wife and I were headed from Monmouth, Maine toward Rt 202, on Rt 132. A vehicle went by us going the other way and my wife hollered (normal required volume for Series vehicle), "HEY, that was a Disco, didn't you SEE his hi/low beam flashing?" Duh, Who, Me? How dare you wake me from my snooze behind the wheel!? If subject Disco driver is reading this, my sincere apology for not recognizing you and making the appropriate "secret signs :)" In my (standard Series cracked and vibrating multiple image) side mirror, at the monochromatic time of day, you appeared to be three black Disco's on top of each other.

From: Solihull@aol.com Date: Sun, 14 Apr 1996 15:36:18 -0400 Subject: Re: Gas tank leak I had a similar prob with my s3. There is a vent tube which goes over to the left side, then a rubber elbow, then, legend has it, to an can below and behind the left door. All for the sake of unburned hydrocarbon emissions. I found the offending line and put a five inch kelly clamp on it. There were no new leaks or adverse effects of building up pressure or vacuum in the fuel tank, so I haven't checked any further. Charlie at RN told me the cans were usually rusted, and that that caused the leak. Maybe it was just another rubber elbow. Anybody got a diagram? I have a factory s3 manual, but maybe I'm missing a supplement. Cheers!

Date: Sun, 14 Apr 1996 21:32:41 -0700 From: jjbpears@ix.netcom.com (Jeremy Bartlett) Subject: Starting with Lucas ( 4cyl and 6 cyl. helpful hints?) As odds would have it (or maybe not considering the manufacturer) I've been having a bit of problem with the starting circuit on my '65 109 (Mathilda) and ran into a '67 6cyl. owner with similar problems. I'm in the process of diagnosing mine, but thought I'd pass on his in case anyone can provide info/suggestions/confirmation. (He's not wired - I'll pass on any helpful hints) The '67 6cyl problem: The starter (2 actually) tests fine outside the vehicle. When installed they do not work at all - no noise - nothing. He stated he'd checked the grounding and run a continuity and voltage check (no problems) (incidentally the horn and lights work - I'm not certain of the 6 cyl wiring so I don't how useful this info. is). Is it possible to short out a motor during installation??? The '65 4cyl. "problem" (or comments): I installed a new starter switch to replace the original which had a badly bent screw thread for the button attachment. Upon trying to do an in situ test of the starter, pressing the start button produced precisely nothing. To be honest I rather expected this but was rather surprised to find upon diagnosing the circuit that the problem (or one of them) was with the new switch. IT DIDN'T WORK. A quick trip back to the parts bin retrieved the original switch with its cardboard/leather/resin insulation bearing the 1/65 manufacture date stamp. It was bent back to shape and tested, whereupon it worked. So much for 30 years of improvement in Lucas quality control! Maybe tomorrow I'll get around to trying my starter and be able to report a problem identical to #1. Do SIII starters drop right into SIIA's? :( Cheers, Jeremy ------------------------------[ <- Message 15 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960415 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
