Well, it is possible to pull the starter from a II/IIA/III without undoing the exhaust, but it isn't necessarily an easy task. It might go in a minute or so, it might take hours. When you do get it in or out, you probably won't know how yyou did it either. (Start by turning the wheels hard to the right so the steering arm is all the way forward) Change the bolt?

Subject: squirrely steering
Ok,
I've replaced the springs, filled the steering box and relay box, the box
support unit is bolted fast, and I even went and had it aligned.
I know that a 109 doesn't have the highway performance of an M3, but why do
I always feel that I'm using more of the road than I should be?
On the freeway it seems I swerve alot and am using the whole lane and quite
frankly it makes me a tad bit nervous.
Any help?
Here are the numbers the alignment shop gave me about the front and rear end:
Left Front Readings Right Front Readings
Initial Final Initial Final
Caster +5.44 +5.44 +5.12 +5.12
Camber +1.20 +1.28 +0.84 +0.92
Toe +1/8 0 +15/32 0
SAI n/m n/m
Inc. Angle n/m n/m
Left Rear Readings Right Rear Readings
Camber +0.04 +0.04 +0.28 +0.28
Toe +3/16 +3/16 -3/16 -7/32
Front Readings Rear Readings
Total Toe +19/32 0 0 -1/32
Setback n/m n/m
Thrust Angle ---- ---- +0.40 +0.40
For what that's worth, that's what they gave me. I've only got the Haynes
manual that doesn't tell me much. Are these within spec?
Thanks for bearing with me.

The pieces are perfect. The outdside mounting brackets are bent to fit the wind screen frame and all the mounting holes are slots. Everything fits well and went together great. Cheers to Sandy Grice and ROAV. BTW, Sandy told me to use rivnuts to install the mounting brackets and I was able to find Stanley Nut inserts at Orchard supply hardware. Drill 9/32" hole, insert nutsert, tighten with provided tool. The nut is now installed and ready for use. I used all stainless hardware, including lock washers. I also bought some very good, black silicon sealant from a local hardware store. It is advertised as 50 year sealant and in my mind is just about perfect. It DOESN'T have the strong acetic acid smell. It isn't as sticky to everything like other sealants and when cured, it is very, very easily removed. I used a good sized blob of silicon on top of the nutsert and around the nutsert, the put on the mounting bracket and screwed in the screw. PS. I like the shine and may not paint it. jfhess@wheel.dcn.davis.ca.us from home via modem Land- -Rover, Sunbeam Tiger and Mazda owner! ------------------------------[ <- Message 8 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960715 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Dear Mr *****************,
Try using silicone on your rubber pieces instead of WD-40. WD-40 is
petroleum based and will break down the rubber. You can get silicone
in a spray can with a little tube to focus the spray, or in a bottle
as used for silicone brake fluid. It keeps the rubber clean, pliant,
virile and shiny.
Cheers,

Subject: Waving
Having just returned from the Downeast Rally in Maine and a week on the east
end of Long Island and reading all the threads on sightings and waving I
thought I would add some more on the subject ...
Yesterday....Saturday after the rain stopped we took a ride in my Series lll
in and around the village of East Hampton/South Hampton... the kids kept a
tally of all LR's we saw and the response to our waves..the following
vehicles were observed within less than 2 hours within about a 10 mile radius
Thought you'd be interested in the results
RR 48 1 wave initiated by a female
Discovery 33 no waves (not surprising as my own wife has passed me here at
home and not waved either)
D-90 6 2 waves
D-110 2 no waves
S lla 4 4 waves
Clearly RR /Discovery, etc... on Long Island at least are nothing more than a
status symbol..the owners have no clue as to their heritage and as been
suggested here before would rather not be associated with the series vehicles
as evidenced by some of the looks we received
oh well...to each his own... nuff said
BTW..... Hummer 3 3 waves
Rgds to all....

Subject: 110 V8 on Av-gas!
A friend of mine with a '89 110 county s/w has just tuned it to run on
100 octane aviation gas!! Apparently it goes real good - although I
have not yet had a chance to drive it. At NZ$1.19 per litre (around
US$0.66) this may not be the most economical vehicle on (or off) the
road. In NZ we have recently phased out leaded petrol, which has also
brought the effective octane rating of petrol down. Now our only
options are regular (91 octane) or premium (96 octane) which costs
around NZ$75 per tank! (US$42).
His engine is an otherwise stock 3.5 V8 with high-flow headers and a
custom exhaust.
...I'm itching to get behind the wheel....

One of this friends has a little Problem with his injector Pump (2,25 l 3 bearing diesel engine). The engine-stop pulley at the pump is broken and diesel is leaking out the pully seal. one of the engine-stop parts in the pump is broken and need replace. (the engine is still running, the only problem is to stop :) ) (He also wants to sell his 88 in 1966 petrol an will buy a 101 monster) So we need a drawing from the injector Pump (CAV) and the parts inside. The second problem are the Brakes at my vehicle. It is one of this high modern splittet Brakesystem with failure switch. After my car rebuild (of the chassis) an a little bit adujusting, i have now the Problem (after a few weeks) that I had to push the brake-pedal 2 to 3 time to get good deceleration. There is no air in the system and i had replaced many parts including brake liners. I think that die brake drumms are to wide and i had to move the liners in the first push to the drumm and then the second push will brake. But I adjusted the brakes very hard.

I cleaned them and everything was ok. About the canvas: I think this is normal, I'm not sure because my own lightweight is a little bit modified: made a pick-up of it and then a (modified) soft-top on the body. But I've seen some lightweights at a dealer of military trucks (I've never seen a lightweight on the road here in Belgium,except mine) and there was also a gap between the back of the door and the canvas.
