I realized the error in my ways and just the day before I had helped out two guys in a Jeep when their radiator blew. The guy that I left was someone buying toys to have toys, but that doesn't excuse me pulling away. I already said that, of course. The posting about pros and cons about different vehicles was this: we are discussing having kids and I was afraid that I would have to sell my D90. Well it turns out that I don't, and was relieved, but was still curious about if I can put a baby seat in my D90 securely. That note was typed with a smile! I love Land Rovers and would hate to have to part with mine. (I'm currently looking at possibly restoring a 109) Again, I should have either helped him or just passed him.

If I am reading it correctly, he stopped to give assistance to another motorist, but turned around and left the guy standing there when he attempted to offer what he obviously thought was a compliment about his vehicle. I would hate to think what that Jeep owner thinks of Rover owners now. He then followed this post with another ruminating about the pros and cons of Disco vs. Range Rover vs. Mercedes Benz and which one fits kids the best. Then we hear about his goodie box from RN. I think Mr. Boehme needs to come down out of the clouds and think about how this looks to the rest of us who lack his kind of troubles.

Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 10:09:03 -0500 From: ecrover@midcoast.com (Mike Smith) Subject: Tires Dear All, Chris Girardey asked about a vibration in his new BF Goodrich tires. Yes the quality factor is the key here. BF Goodrich is noted for having tires, not out of balance, but out of round. Michelins don't suffer from this, usually why they cost more. Have your tire company take the tire off and check if it is out of round. This has caused vibration for us on everything from Ford Explorers to Defenders. They should have gauge they measure the tire on as it spins in the balancer. Most likely you will find it will be out of round. Have him change the tire to a new one until the roundness is within limits, and your vibration will go away. Some companies even have what is basically a tire trimmer. They put the tire on, spin it, and shave off the high spots until you get a round tire again. I'd go for the new tire though. Hope it helps.

From: "Boehme, Doug" <dboehme@rad1.pcmail.ingr.com> Date: Wed, 22 May 96 09:50:00 CDT I installed my Hella Vision Plus headlights last night, and all went smoothly. Instead of really looking at what screws to remove on the first headlight, I started unscrewing them all. Well my left headlight now points skyward and to the left. I got these lights to see better with, not blind the oncoming traffic. Fortunately, I installed the right headlight correctly. Any suggestions/tips for re-aiming my left headlight? I love the D90: when you lose a screw behind the headlight upon removal, it so easy to get it back out again...keeping in mind that this happened on the left headlight which took 20 minutes vs. 5 minutes for the left. There is defintely alot to be said for assessing the situation before disassebling. Recently, I removed my back seat. I would like to remove the brackets on the floor as well, however, if I unscrew the four bolts, will four nuts fall into oblivion? Secondly, I was wondering if a cargo net exists that can be used for the back of the D90?

But please tell the other person exactly what you're going to do with it, and how they work before you pull them out. I pulled out a friend's Trooper with one and he thought for sure I was going to pull off his bumper or something as soon as I took up all the slack in the strap, at a speed of around 5-7mph. After it stretched and gracefully snapped him from his ruts that he had dug himself into, he was amazed, and laughing at his thoughts of the bumper flying off. I have a 30 foot, 3 inch wide. (10 meters, 75 mm) I have also used it for towing, and while it does work well for towing, it will get frayed and worn at any point it contacts a sharp corner or crease, or dragging on the ground. I actually have had the tow vehicle run over it, and generally abuse it to the point where I need to replace it. (Replacement was ordered, should be here by this Friday.) But the most damage was caused by my girlfriend's car, so I couldn't very well maintain good relations, and expect her to pay for the damage. ((Her: Oh my! Did my car make that tear like that? Me: Oh, that's okay, it was old anyway, there were some dirty marks on it anyway... (while thinking to myself, "How could you run over it? I told you to keep it taught! Nothing wrong with your brakes is there???"))) Ah! The cost of love.... (Jean, if you ever read this... I was just kidding about those thoughts!) General rule of trail etiquette: The stuck person supplies their own tow strap for recovery. The reality of it though, is that most times they don't have one. Also, if someone damages their strap recovering you, by all means, replace their strap for them. (I have done this, and it was greatly appreciated, and I got to keep the frayed strap-a short tree strap.) Dave (I won't go strapless!!)

Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 16:16:59 -0700 From: jjbpears@ix.netcom.com (Jeremy Bartlett) Subject: + Earth Fuel Sender Diagnosis +? I thought I'd pass on a few observations and a question on a + earth fuel level sender I've been working on. Initially I was getting no response on the fuel guage. I removed the sender and cleaned it and still got no response. Partial disassembly revealed the guts were intact although the arm was a bit weak in its contact on the resistor. I tested the resistance and wasn't getting reliable readings. I finally tested across the exterior to interior of the spade connector where the line to/from the guage attaches. The resistance was 60 ohms! Dam it looked clean; no wonder I couldn't get a response. I spent about 5 minutes polishing up the connector to where I could almost see myself in it and retested it - down to about 1.5 ohms. At this point I could get variable resistance measurements off the sender (about 2 ohms or so at the empty position up to 80 or so at the full position). After re-installing the unit, reconnecting the line, polishing up the ground connection at the base and the body (with a Dremel grinder to be sure), turning the ignition key (engine not running) produces a fuel guage response of about 1/2 a tank. Unfortunately there's about 2/3+ of a tank of fuel.

Once they had been completely let dow and reinfated they could be properly balanced.

From: WAHORN@aol.com Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 21:51:25 -0400 Subject: series brakes Hi all, I have a series IIa 109" s.w. that I am considering upgrading the brakes on, It currently has the C.B. type master (yuch). I just found out a friend has a rover 3500 and a rover 2000 he is parting out. Is it possible to use any of the parts from these for a conversion ( i.e. remote booster and master).Also is there a web site with directions on this procedure.

Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 20:55:18 -0700 From: uf974@freenet.victoria.bc.ca (Clinton D. Coates) Subject: 88 body onto 90 frame. I know of at least one person who is putting a 109" body onto an ex-mil 110 frame. I presume that the 1" difference in wheelbase would not cause too much difficulty and that the frame-body attachment points aren't too dissimilar. My question is, has anybody done this swap with an 88" to 90? It seems like the extra 2" might start to be a problem with the body. From reading Slavin's book on the LR, I got the impression that dimensionally, the 90 is more different from the 88 than the 110 is from the 109. Perhaps a lightweight body would fit better as the wheel wells are no more than vague suggestions? Clinton Dreaming of a pogo stick landy that actually stops... -- __x___x_ / Clinton D.

Date: Wed, 22 May 1996 22:34:20 -0600 From: Mage <mage@cia.com> Subject: New owner with questions Hello everyone! I am glad to be part of this fairly happy crew. Recently I purchased: 1974 SIII 88" Safari Top w/removable luggage rack (Jamboree rack?) 2.25L petrol The inside and outside are wonderfully restored. The engine runs strongly, but needs some work done on the seals (don't laugh, I know that it is a common problem... grin). However, I have two items that I would like to ask advice. 1. The transmission seems to be making a rattling noise when idling. It certainly seems related to the clutch, since when I depress the clutch pedal, the noise goes away. Otherwise, the gears seem to be working, the synchros are working, however it is sometimes a little tricky to get into first gear when sitting still. What are the guesses to what is going on? If anyone has more specific questions, I will be glad to answer. 2. I am pretty sure that the steering box is a little worn. There is play in the steering that cannot be attributed to sloppy linkages. Can the box be rebuilt? If so what is the relative difficulty and cost. I am fairly proficient at performing my own repairs (I have been running a lifted 1980 full size Bronco for awhile) but this is the first time that I have ever owned a Land Rover. Let me close by saying...... I LOVE IT!!!! Rick Robinson ------------------------------[ <- Message 30 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960523 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

The problem with your logic is the lack of logic used in naming the D90. The 90 is actually >93" (I'm sure somebody will give you an exact figure).

Also, is there any useful > material out there on rebuilding them? Ditto for the whole gearbox. I have too many other problems on my plate at the moment (that Patent 3 cylinder engine for a start), but the gearbox will need something doing to it. Thinking for a winter/spring project, buying an old SIII gearbox + transmission box + perhaps an overdrive, and refurbishing. Then swapping for the gearbox I have. Perhaps, if I'm living elsewhere, buy a clapped out SIII with reasonable gearbox, and break it... This is just a long-term thought and may not happen, though...
