Grind a groove with a suitable tool, about 5 mm wide, 3 mm deep, and a little bit longer than the crack (the crack might be longer than it looks). I dont know if what 110 diffs are made of. If cast iron, use an electrode for cast iron purpose, and weld with as low amps as possible. Use an 1.25 mm. electrode. If its made of steel weld, how ever you like, but again with low amps. In both cases, preheat housing to about 50 deg. celsius before you weld to prevent heat cracks along side of the welding. Weld 20 mm long seems at a time, and let housing cool down a little bit inbetween. This might help, but if the crack came because of extreme tension inside material, it might reoccur. If it does, best thing to do, is changing housing. cheers ----------------------------------- Stine Henriksen / Jakob Christensen Borrowed account - 73 sIII 88" ----------------------------------- ------------------------------[ <- Message 4 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960501 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Bad news. snip > What can I do? Someone told me to file it out a bit and fill with > "DEVCON" an epoxy based metal filler. snip I wouldn't even consider using something like that on an axle casing. Welding is the only fix (short of replacement). You'll have to take it to a *good* shop, one that knows welding cast. Many places claim to, but will just slap on a weld bead and let it go. It must be cleaned well (oil in a weld pool is a no-no) and preheated and postheated. If all this seems to imply that that the casing must be removed and stripped, you're right. You'll fing shops that will tell you otherwise. Don't believe them. So, you may want to see if there is a used one from a breakers. Now, what you could do is use the Devcon to *temporarily* stop the oil flow, or have someone run a weld bead on it in place. But only do that while you look for a replacement. You *will* need one if it isn't welded as described above. Good luck.

Epoxies do tend to cure to a rock like hardness, but most of the off the shelf ones have pigments and colourants so that people who dont know how to mix two substances together can see when it is "well mixed" and you will see this colour (whatever it happens to be) from outside the car. Also, some take a long time to set, which means sitting in the car with your arm up holding it fast against the 'screen. Also, some glues may not bond well to the type of plastic on the mirror part, while others may not work well on the glass.

The left one was reglued using clear quick-setting epoxy from Maplin (but I've seen it in other places since). Quick, as in 10 minutes or so. Of course, I took my hand off it thinking it would stay put after 30 seconds - as it appeared to do. Came back an hour later, and I have a 1cm slug trail!! :-) As for the other "handle", the person who "removed" it, did it with such force that it bounced around a bit and I still can't find it! I keep meaning to find some microscope slides to cut and glue together to make a new one. As for how clear it is, it has yellowed *ever* so slightly, but I doubt you'd notice this with a mirror.

The crack may be longer on the inside and there may be other spider cracks propagating away from the one evident on the outside. (You might look for a "Dye-penetrant" crack finder. People who work on big sailboat rigging use it a lot. Try some mates at the CYC in Sydney for leads on where to find it. Much cheaper than Magnaflux and dooable on-site.) I don't know what type of metal it is, but I do know to make doubly sure of the type, hardness and whether or not it is heat-treated (annealed). I had to have a cracked airplane landing gear welded once, and I learned how *not* to do it. Someone who understands metal hardness (Rockwell tests, etc.) should be able to repair it by weld to virtually the same strength as the surrounding metal. Bear in mind the loads the axle carries and transmits from one wheel to the other before you put Devcon in there. It may stop the leak, but could get "popped out" by any flex or a well placed rock hit. Either way, Devcon sounds like a good, cheap, quick, Temporary solution. How does it bond with oil residue in the crack? best of luck, pat. 93 110 ------------------------------[ <- Message 12 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960501 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Electrical Theory by Joseph Lucas by Bob Gunforth in the MBCA StarDust Positive ground depends upon proper circuit functioning, the transmission of negative ions by retention of the visible spectral manifestation known as "smoke". Smoke is the thing that makes electrical circuits work; we know this to be true because every time one lets the smoke out of the electrical system, it stops working. This can be verified repeatedly through empirical testing. When, for example, the smoke escapes from an electrical component (i.e., say, a Lucas voltage regulator), it will be observed that the component stops working. The function of the wire harness is to carry the smoke from one device to another; when the wire harness "springs a leak", and lets all the smoke out of the system, nothing works afterwards. Starter motors were frowned upon in British Automobiles for some time, largely because they consume large quantities of smoke, requiring very large wires. It has been noted that Lucas components are possibly more prone to electrical leakage than Bosch or generic Japanese electrics. Experts point out that this is because Lucas is British and all things British leak. British engines leak oil, shock absorbers and hydraulic forks and disk brakes leak fluid, British tyres leak air and the British defense establishment leaks secrets...so, naturally, British electrics leak smoke. >From the basic concept of electrical transmission of energy in the form of smoke, a better understanding of the mysteries of electrical components, especially those of Lucas manufacture, is gained by the casual user. <jtackley@dit2.state.va.us> "John J.

Date: Tue, 30 Apr 1996 11:43:15 -0700 From: "John Y. Liu" <johnliu@earthlink.net> Subject: Diagnose Problem? Fellow LRO's, here is a problem to diagnose. Whilst driving to work this morning on the freeway, suddenly the 109's engine began dying. When I disengaged the clutch and gave it more throttle the engine would pick up again, but when the clutch was re-engaged and the engine was under load, the revs would drop and I would lose power. I nursed the truck off the freeway and onto surface streets, where the engine would pretty much run when with my foot down but would not idle. I crawled to an alley (learning that, in extremis, the starter will move the truck 25 feet from the intersection to the alley) and observed the following: the engine would start after a fair bit of cranking, and then would run OK as long as the throttle was held down and the engine was being revved. Once I lifted off the gas and let the engine idle, it would idle OK for several seconds and then slowly die. If even a little choke was applied the engine needed more throttle to keep running and would not idle at all. After the engine died, if I waited 15 seconds I would see gas start to ooze out from the carburator (no specific place, but somewhere in the middle of the carb body and also dripping from the place where the choke control sits.) Since the gas was dripping onto the exhaust manifold and I was in a business suit I terminated attempts at diagnosis and had the truck towed to the mechanics where she now sits. Presumably the mechanics will find the problem but I was curious what more mechanically-inclined LROs would diagnose from the symptoms given. More information: the engine is a 2.25 petrol, Solex carb, recently tuned, and the gas tank is half-full. My first thought while on the freeway was poor fuel flow due to a clogged fuel filter, but later I thought that was unlikely since the engine would start and run. My next thought was flooding due to a stuck float (although banging on the carb body did not help, I did not bang too hard given the difficulty of obtaining replacement Solex carbs), which sort of made sense given the gas dripping from the carb, but I couldn't reconcile that with being able to start the engine without too much fuss. What do you think? If this had happened "in the field", what would you have done? I do carry lots of tools, fuel hose, clamps, etc. -- what could I have improvised? Incidentally, in several years of ownership this is the first time the old truck has ever had to be towed. So there is a first time for everything. ------------------------------[ <- Message 20 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960501 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

It just turned 9000 miles last week. So far, this is where I have found rust: 1-The base of the interior roll bar is starting to show rust. I have yet to scrape and prime the plates. I'm hesitant to take the bar out because it is bolted through the roof to the external cage and I dont want to have to reseal the outer mounting pads. 2-The steel capping riveted over the rear body and below the roofsides is showing rust at weld marks and rust coloured seepage from rear edge. 3-No steel parts have been primed below the paint, apparently. Anywhere it has been lightly scuffed, rust is showing. I plan to start taking bits off one by one to be galvanized. 4-Front bumper bolts and winch mount bolt heads. All are starting to develop a light powdery surface, which is still easily wiped off with a 3M tough, scrubby sponge. 5-All the wheel nuts are now a nice chocolate brown/rust colour. I've thought of getting a new set and having them galvanized but do not know what the galvanization will do to the threads (will it allow the nut to back off or give false torque readings?). Is this chronic with other D110s? Mine is washed down over & under at least once a week and garage kept. AHA! I think I just solved my problem. The LR should never be washed (to minimize contact with H2O), and should be kept outdoors at all times (so that the paint will fade and the rust weeps will *fit in* with the scheme). Come to think of it, dad never washed his old 109-- he just drove faster when it would rain... a *little* over 40mph ;-) pat 93 110 ------------------------------[ <- Message 24 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960501 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
