It goes to the tune of the Irish folk song "Wild Rover". The words are as follows: Ive owned a Land Rover for many a year I use it to carry my whisky and beer When we're on safari with Rovers galore We all give three cheers for this great 4 x 4 CHORUS And its no, nay, never, no nay never no more Will I sell my Land Rover, no never, no more I bought a Toyota to go to South West But wasnt convinced that it really was best I tried a Suzuki but threw it away Cos a Land Rovers better, so what do you say CHORUS My bearings are buggered, the swivel pins too The steering it wobbles, my problems are few The leaks from the gear box and diff are so slow So I'll check all the levels when the damn thing wont go CHORUS A Range Rovers faster but uses more fuel The people who drive them they look rather cool Its from the same stable but has beter springs But lets face it folks its just not the real thing CHORUS A Forward Control doesnt look quite so nice But they used to be had for a very good price Some of us think they do have their charms! Just take a good look at "The Old Charlton Arms" CHORUS At rallies the Shorties they always come first But the drivers all seem to develop a thirst Series Ones, Twos and Threes all have their own place And now the One Tens are the first in the race CHORUS I bought an old Landy and stripped with with care A 2A from Solihull is really quite rare But how to repair it I asked in the Pub They said to apply to the Land Rover Club CHORUS The Land Club members were quite a surprise They all seemed to be a nice bunch of guys Its thanks to them that I now know much more About the Land Rover, that great 4 x 4 CHORUS While we are singing theres one thing to say Im sure we're all loving our wonderful stay Back in the Lowveld its "dankie aan Gene - Goeie more, goeie nag, lekker slaap en tot siens" CHORUS This song was the work of one Jake Pressly and Steve Shelly by all accounts and developed at an LROC of SA function in the then Eastern Transvaal, South Africa some tiome back. The reference to the "Old Charlton Arms" is the nickname given to a member's FC that was so frequented as a pub that at one time members tried to get into the Guiness Book of Records by cramming as many people as possible in, each holding a beer!! The quotes in the last verse translate into English as follows - thank you to Gene, good morning, good night, sleep well and good bye. Maybe there are other club songs around ? or maybe the above will start a series of international versions. Waiting to see what happens. Sorry if this is not heavy technical stuff, but it should appeal to some.

To this I might add another Permatex product "High Tack," a spray, not to be
confused with another fine product and oil additive, "Hi Tach." All the
"silicone" sealers, IMHO, are over-rated anywhere near the engine and/or
fuels or oil. While I haven't retrieved any bits from the oil pickup
screen, I have found stringy bits that were ready to head that way. I used
to carry three "flavors" of Permatex RTV, but have given them all up for the
'old' standbys.
As I was writing this, the off-set barrier crash tests were on NBC's
Dateline (these were the same guys who used the little 'ignitors' in the
Chevy flambe scandal a few years ago). Oy vey! The sight of a brand
spanking new Discovery crashing at 40 mph....and I just took delivery of
one last Friday! Actually, the Disco fared fairly well and was given an
'acceptable' rating compared to some of the other sport utes. It's just
that the closing shot taken at about 80 frames per second showed the ".AND"
in LAND ROVER filling the screen....brrrrr.
As to the new Disco, as I was wheeling it into the neighborhood Saturday, I
got a whiff of glycol; it was spewing coolant when I turned it off in front
of the house. The 5/16" hose from the radiator to the overflow tank
contacted the serpentine belt which chewed through it. Parking behind the
'72 88, the older vehicle almost seemed to gloat at the new one's mis-
fortune. Some hose and a nylock retrieved from the 88 set it all to rights.
Cheers

Loved the song! I've hoisted more than one Guinness at the local while
singing the "Wild Rover" and always thought it should have been "Land
Rover". Next time, it will!

Subject: Hello? & LR question..
Is it just me, or has the list gone quiet overnight?
Question:
Does anyone know *how* a Flasher Unit works? I have a trailer socket, and
an indicator light in the dash. The idea is that the indicator repeaters
flash in the dash and the trailer indicator lamp also flashes if a trailer
is connected to the socket.
The problem is that my trailer indicator lamp sometimes flashes and
sometimes doesn't - all without a trailer being connected!
The wiring is: 12V in to connetcor 49+, chopped power out to indicator
switch on connector 49a, Trailer indicator on connector C2
The indicators are wired as follows:
switch -> connection point
Connection point -> (1) Dash repeaters
(2) Front Lamp
(3) Rear connection
Rear connection -> (1) Rear Lamp
(2) Trailer Socket, via local fuse-board
The question is - why does the trailer indicator lamp sometimes flash &
sometimes not? It doesn't appear to be related to alternator output at
changing the revs doesn't affect it. (BTW, the indicator pulse-rate is
also erratic, if that helps)
------------------------
Has anyone done a write-up on stripping leaf-springs, cleaning then and
re-bushing them? If so, where is it?

It doesn't appear to be related to alternator output at > changing the revs doesn't affect it. (BTW, the indicator pulse-rate is > also erratic, if that helps) I have a 24V FFR - with NATO trailer socket. The trailer lamp on the dash flashes once when I switch the indicator up/down, then stops (leaving the indicator lamp to flash with the clicking and the indicators themselves). I've never connected a trailer (infact, the tow-hook has seized) This probably doesn't help you much, but that's what I get. Hi everyone! I only joined this (and the UK) list yesterday, and posted a query (re. paint sourcing) & introduction to the UK list. My introduction: A month or so ago, I bought an ex-mil (?RAF?) Series III 109 hardtop, petrol, and fitted-for-radio. Generally in good nick, but lots of "small" things to keep me busy - eg. replaced the petrol gauge & some gaiters at the weekend. Not knowing much about vehicles, I'm learning fast! (over Easter, my father and I rebuilt the front brakes, and we also had one of the hubs apart). Its worth having an ex-mil vehicle, just for the MoD User Handbook! (incl. a chapter on how to destroy the vehicle in the face of an advancing enemy) Richard marsden@doyle.digicon-egr.co.uk ------------------------------[ <- Message 14 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960418 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

If so, where is it? Never seen one Ian,but a tip,passed on through bitter experience. I'd strongly recommend using genuine parts bushes.I was getting through a set of rear spring rear bushes at the rate of one a month. No matter where I got them from.Got Genuine ones(a metter of pence more expensive),and they've lasted years.Literally. The problem seems to be that with the inferior bushes,the inner and outer steel tubes arent parallel,and the resultant strains tear out the rubber.I've got a doozy of an example kicking round the office here, somewhere.
