Open up the centre instrurment panel. You will find a small metal cylinder with wires connected at one end. If it is the original style, it has a tab at the top and is screwed into the bulkhead. If you remove it before you get a new one, make a drawing of the bottom connectors and note which colour wire goes to which connector. When you replace it, make sure the connectors are tight and clean. You really Do want a factory manual. Good luck getting your directional lights working again.

I suppose it depends on which 16" wheels and to which use you'll put them. The wheels seem to have originally come in two widths # 231601PM for 6.50X16" tires and #NRC7578PM for the wider 7.50X16". To confound matters the metric system is now apparently used to size tires. I purchased the NRC7578PM wheels from Rovers North some time ago. Mark at RN recommended 235X85R16 Cooper Discover Radials or BF Goodrich All Terrain or BF Goodrich Mud Terrain tires. Since my primary use is on paved roads I opted for Michelin LTX M/S tires in 225X75R16. To my surprize they have worked very nicely in the mud of the north Georgia mountains. I still have a lot to learn about off road driving but understand that sometimes narrower tires do better in such conditions.

In my experience, problems with the lights are usually down to poor earth connections. It gets particularly bad with LRs because of their owners' habit of driving them through big puddles. The lights get water in them, and corrosion sets in. This can be a problem especially with the rear lights - its worth checking the rubber seals to see if they leak too badly.

I can see it now, "Exorcist (Series) IIA". Assuming the problem is not spiritual, how about some more information. Does the sound appear when the vehicle is cold and has not been used, right after the vehicle is started, or only after the vehicle is nice and warmed up? Does the sound come when the vehicle is absolutely stationary with the engine off, or is some combination of engine running/vehicle moving necessary? Is the sound accompanied by any escaping coolant?

Here's some more info: I've been collecting some data on the moaning sound, but just as I think that I've ruled out when it does and doesn't happen, it happens when it shouldn't. Anyway, usually it happens when: I come to a standstill, that's what got me thinking it might be the torsion bar settling, but it also happens standing absoloutly still, and more often with the engine cold. It does only happen with the engine running so my last bet is the thermostat vibrating as it opens....??? I don't have servo assisted brakes, so it can't be that, i suppose it could have something to do with the waterpump, but why would it moan when having come to a standstill.

I have a 1985 110 3.9L diesel which has done 270000 km, many of them on rough Australian outback "roads". As for shock absorbers, I've had a pretty good run out of Bilsteins, more than 150000 km so far. The Bilstein people say that the seals are lubricated by a deliberate slight oil weep. Mine do have slight oil leaks, so I recently took them off for testing and they are still good, so with new bushes they went back on. In Australia they can be rebuilt for ~half of new cost when they do wear out. 110's (and RR's) used to have a self energised Boge Hydramat self levelling system for the rear suspension which allowed softer rear springs to be used while still maintaining load carrying ability. Is this still an option? If you're worried about body roll, in Australia and I'm sure around the North Sea coast in UK, there are firms who engineer quick detachable sway bars. If they aren't detachable they reduce wheel travel (droop) off road. I'm not sure of the air suspension you're talking about, but I do know of systems with an air bladder which sits inside the spring coil which are pretty harmless. Other basic systems use inflatable shock absorbers which in extreme conditions can cause breakages of the shock mountings due to higher loads.

Filled the tank in Virginia Beach (standard 12 gal tank). Ran 'til I ran out - west of Lynchburg. 27 mpg. No lie. Averaged around 22 mpg. (That was *before roof racks and external sun visor, though.) This was the Holley 2494 that was originally fitted to IH Scouts from '61 to '64. After then, an automatic choke was fitted. So basically, you are looking for something that went out of production in '64. I was *quite* pleased with that little carb. Adapting it to the Rover involved elongating the two bolt holes on the base by 1/64" and fitting a small arm to lenghten the throttle arm. I'd still be using it today, but when the Rover was taken off the road for a long rebuild in '84, I left it full of fuel. Three years later, it was one lump of gunge.

Some of the areas were two wheel drive accessible, but most weren't, and my LR was the vehicle which could get in and close to the caches of junk. Some of the other people had $wd vehicles which might have made it but it would be hard to throw castoff muddy tires into a new Blazer. I should have taken a picture of it with an old bedspring and two tractor trailer tires tied to the roof. The highlight of the day For the Rover was lashing the rear hitch to a tree and pulling a dump truck out of a mud hole not once but three times as it made trips to pick up parts of an old building we removed. Those Koenig PTO winches really work, and the engine didn't even lug down under the strain. (I was watching around my raised hood though) The highlight of the day for me was watching an eagle in its nest, (from a proper distance) out on a point we drove to for some trash collecting, while beyond, Spring was starting to green up the tidal marsh of the Bay. I really enjoy the opportunity to use these things for the hard work they were built for, and the fact that I drive a 31 year old, cranky, cosmetically challenged vehicle which hates Interstate highways doesn't matter at all today.

My problems weren't the carburettor at all. Well, it might need cleaning, but it is by no means the main problem. I'll explain the symptoms: Uneven running gradually increasing over a period of weeks to jumpy running. Lack of power. (Trouble getting past 30 mph - got stopped by the police on Saturday on the M25 for going too slow!) Initially points were bad. Many people told me this - they were adjusted yesterday. A bit better. Cleaned the spark plugs. Nos 1-3 had some fairly heavy deposits (symptoms of how I've been driving it??), and No.4 was as black as the ace of spades. Checked sparks - all work. Still firing on 3. Compression is down slightly on No.4 (don't know the figures, it was my brother that did it) Suspect valves? I know sod-all about taking engines apart, but tonight, I'm going to take the rocker box off and have a look inside. Hopefully its just a stuck valve. If not it sounds like all the possibilities are quite serious (cylinder head off time). Hints, tips, words of advice? What tools am I going to need? Feeler gauges, valve compressor, guess a pressure gauge for good luck. Oh, whilst testing the engine, I managed to back it into a nice big ditch on a farm in Kent. Nice steep slope - didn't have the engine power, ditch on the left, you guess the rest. Had a tow from a tractor, but the rope snapped - really bad position after that (1 wheel out, and resting the roof on 2 trees) . Used a fork-lift truck and 2 tractors in the end. Quite amusing after the event, and no doubt something I'll be reminded of at every future clan gathering... (yes, photos were taken but not by me) Damage? Some greenery is still attached to the bottom of the diffs, another small dent on the wing, a battered fuel tank (already leaking and out of action), and my souvenir dent on the hard-top popped itself out!
