Probably not, because its the only bit of the manual which is in
bureaucratic wibble - with lots of cross-referenced paragraphs which
seem to just repeat themselves. There is a strict order to things though:
destroy special equipment and radio equipment (strict order of heads first,
followed by transmitter then receiver), disable/destroy engine, hatchet job,
dowse with fuel, then light with an incendary grenade or artillery piece.
If doing the latter at short range , you are recommended to take cover!  :-)

I acquired a few scratches and a dent from a roundabout if that counts!
Managed to get rid of most of the dent (which also pushed the front of the
wing across a tad), with a jack(!), but I still have a dent just behind
the corner. Club hammer is useless, unless I can get the panel off.

This is my main (infact, only) vehicle, so when I start taking it off-road,
I'll be avoiding anything vaguely dangerous!

You could always get a 109 hardtop and station-wagon it - change the seats,
add seatbelts and perhaps doors.
I've heard that the 109 is more comfortable, but I haven't taken mine off-road
*yet*. If you're worried about power, you could always V8-it, or look for
a Stage 1.

As for 109 Load-Space - I discovered how useful it was tonight - I can fit
my jack length-ways, and still have room for toolboxes at the end!!
Speaking of which, can I claim the most imaginative use of a jack award for
this week (pushing dents out of a front wing)?   :-)

I had to move all of my extra wheels (6x 7.50XCL and 5x COOPER 
somethings) and had them stuffed (plus some extra load) in the back of my 
110 StaWag Diesel. I noticed that there was no more than half an inch of 
clearance between the axle and the bumpstop and when I went for a ride to 
check if my Landy would level, but no way! When turning a corner I felt 
immedeatly that the car did not lean over, thus I think the load-leveler 
doesn't work.

Is it the only way to try new springs?

When I go on a vacation-trip I take lots of goods and food with me, but I 
would have a comfortable ride though...........

Any answers?

Most likely. It's quite easy. If you ahve a shop manual, at least get 
a Haynes manual, you'll see it a piece of cake.

Anything else "while you're at it"? That's a *very* dangerous 
proposition. Actually, the main thing is to inspect the output flange 
seal area. If it's grooved, get thee to a bearing/seal shop and get a 
Speedie-Sleeve for it.

Hmmm. 4mm. If they are talking "overall" length (which is the way it 
is usually done) that would about account for the tailboard hinges, 
which wouldn't affect the departure angle. (Am I correct in 
remembering that the hinges weren't on the SIII SW frames?)
 An allowance for the rear spare mount, which was an option 
anyway, would be much more than 4mm.

Hi Alan.  Remember this mail from a few weeks back?  Well, I found the
problem, and I owe you a beer!  It was a worn & broken brush.  I
tested out the charging paths, and eventually just pulled the dynamo
out and took it apart.  This was after I had picked the vehicle up
from the port at Newark and had a 400+ mile drive to Buffalo ahead of
me the next day!  Luckily, I was at a friends house and had lots of
tools.  It took all of 30 minutes to replace.  Luckily, I had bought a
set of brushes to take with me the day before I left the UK.  The
brush was actually too large to fit in the slot, so I had to file it
down to the right size.  I hope that didn't affect it negatively, but
that seemed to take care of it though!

Unfortunately, when I was getting ready to leave on my trip the next
morning, the battery didn't have enough juice to start from cold.  But
out came the crank handle, I choked it just right (I think I'm finally
getting the knack of it) and she started right up.

The rest of the trip went flawlessly.  If I don't count the layer of
oil spray which accumulated on the back windows... :-(

According to my records the spicer 5-4x is for the halfshaft.
Use Spicer 5-153x for the prop shaft. Ant reputacle shop should be

	IIA and III sw frames didn't have the hinges, but all the replacement

Eric,
If you're going to quote facts, well then...
Assuming the person is in the US, and since he asked about the 
109 vs 88, the most likely purchase would be a IIa 109. 
According to *my* book the specs are:

                         Regular                       Station wagon
Overall lngth    175"                                     175"
width                  66"                                       66"
height                81"                                     81.375"
Wheelbase      109"                                     109"
Track                  51.5"                                   51.5"
Weight              3462.8lb                             3913.8lb

So obviously we need to be careful when when we throw figures  
to make sure we are talking about the same vehicle.
If the person was in the UK the varity of likey vehicle 
configurations would, of course, be much greater.

Subject: Caustic Castrol (brake fluid)

Hi all,

I awoke one morning last week to notice several rivulets of bubbly and
peeling paint on the left wing of my 109.  I knew in a moment what it was,
but can't figure out why it's happening.

I raised the bonnet and saw that the area directly above the brake fluid
reservoir cap had been soaked, and most of the paint there was also being
removed.  I guess it dripped down onto the wing and that's where it caught
my attention.

I don't seem to be having any braking problems that I can surmise, but I
haven't bled the system lateley to see if all the brake lines are working
freely.  The reservoir isn't the stock style, it's the flat angular 90 or
110 reservoir.  I have ordered a replacement reservoir and a master
cylinder rebuild kit anticipating the replacement  of the reservoir and
rebuild of the unit.

Any ideas?  I suppose this is as good a time as any to start on the can by
can repainting of my LR.  I ordered 6 cans of pastel green from the place
in Wisconsin that makes them up custom.  Now, on to the stripper and the
primer!

I'd like to sort out the brake problem first however, as it is infinitely
more important than the paint, and I'd hate to repeat the leak after the
wing is painted.

Thanks,

Michael Slade

Chris,
It is the rear output seal and it is not difficult to repair.
While you're there you can recentralize and adjust the shoes.
You might want to take off the backing plate and clean it, paint it.
Then you can check the speedo stuff under there that is probably leaking too.
Then you can make sure the speedo housing is properly shimmed and torqued 
because your speedo needle is jumpy.
You'll probably notice the Xfer case pan leaking so you'll change that.
While the pans off you'll want to shim the intermediate gear to stop that 
annoying clunking....................................................

Of course while you're under there, you'll eventually find a rust spot in the 
frame and decide that you need to do a frame up recondition of the entire
thing.  
Your best bet is to not get under the vehicle at all.

Sounds good, reminded me of some jackall body work I had to do to my 88 back
in the fall of 1994 after I rolled it.  Used the jack to pushout some dents
in the rear box and to straiten the roof so that the doors would close.  It
was also used to get the rover off of its side and rubber side down again.
As a side
note I was impressed that the rover started and drove home fine once on its
wheels,  the passanger was also very impressed he offered to buy it on the
spot which was Funny because I was taking him for a test drive at the time
as it was for sale.

Subject: Happiness is...

Ahh, the joy...

Last night when i got home from work, I decided to try and eke a little more 
enjoyment out of my ROver before it gets stripped down, so I took the door tops 
off. Definitley the best thing a Series owner can do to improve ventilation, 
short of taking off the hardtop. They weren't too hard to get off, I just needed
a few taps on the bottom of the bolts to get em started, then let the pry bar do
the rest. After the initial removal they're easier to get off and now I can just
lift 'em off. I don't know why I didn't do this last summer. My question is has 
anybody figured out a good method of stowing the doortops in the back of an '88,
besides just laying 'em down in the back?

Cheers

BTW, I was freezing my butt off on the way to work this morning, but I was just 
glad to be alive and driving a LR, and I'm afraid the poor commuter in the 
Discovery that was in front of me may have been a little taken aback by my 
furious waving, beeping and light flashing. She did laugh though, so she 
probably just assumed I was crazy, but I think she may just have figured it 
out...

Were I to do this, I think I'd make a padded rack for them up aganst the seat 
bulkhead, in the spot vacated by the spare tire on the bonnet in any proper 
Rover. This way, you can simply take them out and drop them into the slots in 
the rack, where they won"t get broken or rattle.

It does not need to be anymore than some slatting, spaced by bits of 2 x 4, 
with some foam duct-taped overtop of the slats.

Either that, or be a man and leave 'em at home....wimp. 8*)

I just got in from the garage where I too was removing the door tops.  No

Hmm. A refrigerator, huh? Those Roverworks guys really hook it up don't they. 
Sounds almost "plushy" :-) Is that next to the ARB locker?

Well I certainly can say those Roverworks guys really 'hooked' me!  To the
tune of 15.5K!  So far nothing.  No news, no Rover, no refund, no nuthin'!

No kidding!

Actually Roverworks didn't do the fridge.  This feature was added, along
with the glass front woodstove and leather recliners, by another firm which
specializes in building those little cars that clowns climb out of at the
circus.  They're even more famous for their architectural work which
includes Pogo's tree, Snoopy's doghouse, and Phineas J. Whoopy's ("Whatta
we gonna do now Tennessee?")  closet.

I guess I never really invited you INTO my Rover, huh?

RoverOn!

My 73 sIII 88" was fitted with a K&N filter when i bought it, this replaces
hoses and oilbath. My carburettor was also replaced with a Weber ICH 34,
this seems to work fine and gives a better gas milage.

It's quite easy to get all that in, and more, once you coil your 109 and 
stow it in your ARB locker.

I'm unsubscribing from the list while I'm in Nashville next week. 
Yep, no ARB locker jokes for awhile.
My e-mail will be forwarded to my Compuserve account if you need to 
reach me about something important. Just e-mail me directly.

So I really don't expect to here from you ;-)

Hopefully I'll get the digests when I get back to see if I missed 
anything.

Subject: D90 return in '97

Howdy folks,

I was just at the Dallas Auto Show,  talking to the reps. from Land Rover.
(I had been looking at purchasing a D90 just as they stoped importing them. 
I was sick!)  In my conversation with the LR reps., they told me the D90
would be back in '97.  

Does anyone else have any info on this?

Robert Davis...here in southeastern Virginia.  He has a pile of Series III 
gearboxes, but they have the IIa style bellhousing/clutch.  Best of both 
worlds.  If you are interested, post to me and I'll forward it to Robert.  
He's not on the digest anymore, but he is still on-line.  Cheers

Subject: Traceability

Just received my report back from Solihul about my Series IIa 88", and there
really isn't much to see, except the date it was built and the date it was
shipped to the U.S. In the shipping area it states "H.D.O. Murphy. Rover NY"
I take it that Rover NY was the old LRNA???, but what is H.D.O. Murphy?? Any
suggestions would be great. Also is there any way to trace the vehicle's
history in the United States?

Thanks a bunch

Cheers
