Date: Sun, 21 Jul 1996 23:31:21 -0500 From: Jeff & Laura Kessler <lmkessler@srnet.com> Subject: DAP service Last Wednesday the RR went into DAP in Springfield VT for some bushings to be replaced. I was calling around to check prices on bushings and planned on having a local mechanic do the job. But after talking with Bruce at DAP and having heard good reports (for parts) on them from the digest, I decided to try them since they are only a 35-40 minute ride from home. Logistically, it was easier for me to wait the few hours then try and get rides back and forth. Bruce was concerned I might get board, I'll bring something to read I said. I never read a word. The place was bigger than I expected. About 8 series LRs and a D110 were lined up on one side of the parking lot and series LRs were in the bays in various stages of repair and restoration. Plus the expected body parts bins out back. I hardly paid attention to the work on the RR. "We usually don't have customers here when we take this come-a-long to your axle." "Go for it, but tell me, why are these 2 coils conversion chassis sprung differently?" One of the 88s was getting a coil conversion. It was a "stock" setup from East Coast Rovers which DAP said they got as a rolling chassis. The othe rcoiler had the shocks and struts relocated to fit the RR pieces going in it. Do not remember if that one was from ECR. Saw a blue NY 88 the owner had in for work. The owners restoration work was great. The 88 look brand new! Looked over a couple of 88s under restoration that were without bodies at the time. Great to look over everything this way especially with everything looking new. It would probably be upsetting to some of you series owner, given the condition of alot of these vehicles now. But it is an opportunity to see how your vehicles looked when new (and for the price of a new one, we can make it happen). Case in point about how the condition of a LR changes, the D110 that was there had spent too much time playing in the surf at the ocean without a freshwater wash after (so I was told). The chassis was seriously rusted everywhere. It made our RR look real good. Anyhow, since I was not doing poly bushing, I was told only 2 of the 6 rear bushs were bad and that was all they did, plus some other things, since I was there. For those in the NH/VT area, this is a place to consider for service as well as parts. (Too bad the EFI light didi not act up while there).

The security of a hard top Land Rover is far from good anyway, so the best plan is not to leave valuables in it. Fit a hidden kill switch (break into the low tension wires to the coil with a switch and put it where only you know), and this will deter thieves. A good quality canvas tilt will be very hard to rip, and it is far quicker to cut or untie the ropes! As for noise, I found that the soft top resulted in a quieter vehicle. The drumming set up by an unlined hard top is chronic, and worse than natural road noises - if you can hear them above the noise of the engine and transmission!

Last cool article showed an Aussie p-type 6x6 > built to get some pacific rim military contract. Didn't get the contract > but the truck was awesome. I'd love to see how the rear double axles work > offroad.. During the course of testing of our Military Air Jacks by the British Army (just prior to the Gulf War), an Australian 6x6 was included among the vehicles we were asked to lift/recover. Having found a suitably soft piece of army land (at Long Valley) we drove a Defender 110 in, whereupon it bogged down instantly. We were able to lift and slew the rear out of the ruts and drive it clear. We then drove the 6x6 into the same ground. The vehicle was fully laden with ammo boxes, as the vehicle itself was under trial. This vehicle, despite the extra axle, sank so far that it sat on it's chassis. No attempt at driving it out had the slightest effect, of course. Lifting the rear and placing branches etc under the wheels resulted in the whole lot being pressed into the mud. It had been assumed, of course, that the 6x6 would have coped with the soft ground far better than the 4x4, but it seemed that the standard section tyres did not have a sufficient footprint to support the extra claimed load. Larger tyres would be better but probably not feasible on the standard LR axles. All in all, the vehicle did not impress with its soft ground capability. Add to this the reduction in manoevrability due to it's extra width (it may look the same as a Defender from the front, but that bonnet (hood) is actually a GRP moulding, made to look like the real thing but wider). We did recover it, eventually (sand ladders would have been a great help, but the Army forgot to bring them), by lifting the front wheels up with the 4 tonne air jack and filling in underneath, then towing it out with a 4 ton truck (previous attempts at winching it out resulted in a broken winch). Stick with a Series 4x4. -- David Olley ...............................................................

Please advise. Thanks a ton... Historical insurance is usually much cheaper than standard vehicle insurance. So long as your vehicle is over 25 years old, and you can handle whatever use restrictions are placed on you (usually a mileage limit) then you can get away with paying a couple hundred dollars a year. In addition, you can pre-negotiate the value of the vehicle before a loss. Except for my daily driver, all my other vehicles are historically insured and the daily driver bill is twice that of the historical bill. We use a company called J.C. Taylor but check a copy of hemmings and you'll probably find a half a dozen others.

"Classic"/"Antique" insurance should be much, much cheaper than regular insurance. However, there are restrictions on use. Generally 5,000 miles a year, only driven to and from club events, some mileage allowed for general "testing". etc. Generally, the restrictions are about the same as that of Antique Plates for the vehicle. ------------------------------[ <- Message 19 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960725 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

My copy of the list seems to have gone astray for the day I posted the message, but I'll wait and see. I know it actually got to the list cause a few mailed me directly ... thanks again. The replies have certainly made me more confident in buying a softtop Landie as my first "car". Of course, it was always going to be a Landie, just a matter of which type :) I was a little hesistant in getting a softtop because of the my queries, but those fears have been allayed. Just a quick comment to those living in the colder regions ... luckily for me its only winter for about 1-2 months of the year, the rest is just perfect. Not that I want to make ya jealous or anything :) Anyway. Thanks again. You will probably hear more from me in the future once I get my Landie (they're around, but good ones are a little hard to come by in this park of Australia) and start to explore, and find problems that me or my father cannot solve.

Looking at the wiring diagrams, it looks like you could either have a bad light switch on the steering column or a bad lighting relay module. The module is the right most relay under the fuse panel. These seem to be the only common links with your lights that are out. The brake lights and flashers work off of other systems.

I chose the soft top to enjoy the pleasure of four wheeling in the open air but must tell you that I go to great lengths not to leave anything that would be easily removed becuase I drive it to work daily and park outside. There are special alarms for soft tops but a real good trick for preventing car theft is to disable the ignition by activating the rollover breaker ( this is a device in the Rover that shuts everthing off in the event you have a rollover--simply pull it out to stop everything and then push it in when you return--most car theives won't be sharp enough to learn about this trick ).

Warren Smith) Subject: Gearbox Synchro Loss Just returned to Louisiana from a long haul with a 5x8 U-Haul behind Lurch (my 1965 IIA 109 Dormobile) via central Pennsylvania and Chicago, moving some furniture between various homes. After creeping up (in third gear) an interminable hill on Interstate 80 in Western Penna. (The top of which had a sign; I believe noting the spot as the highest point on the interstate system east of the Mississippi ???) I found the synchronization of shifting between third and fourth gears was lost and that a relatively noisless shift could only be made by allowing several seconds between a shift from third to fourth. Shifting from first to second to third still seems fairly normal. But the fourth gear wants to jump out of gear unless the shift lever is held in place. Fortunately, a length of bungi cord from the shift lever to the back of the driver's seat allowed a reasonable trip home. Question: Is this likely to require a total take-down of the transmission or is there any simpler possibility for repair. The transmission has only 7500 miles on it since being rebuilt by Atlantic British (California). Any thoughts on how lengthy a job I'm looking at would be much appreciated. Many thanks for any help.

Something similar happened to my 1964 109 SIIA. I had some trouble shifting from third to fourth gear but the greatest problem was that while in fourth gear the lever popped to neutral. We had to dismount the gear box and change the sincromesh ( about US $ 150 in chile) and a small bronce cylindrical piece ( aprox US $ 15) that keeps the gears in place (buje doble in Spanish). Since the gear box was dismounted and opened I also changed some other slightly worn parts.

If you're in for a rebuild, try to find a Ser IIA engine with preferably a 8:1 ratio head.(Ser III) Is it a SW or a 109 regular hard top or a pickup? To me, the SW is worth more, let's say from what you are describing, max 1000$ US Regular Hard top would be 750$ U.S and pickup 500$. Look at it this way: You need a new frame, springs brakes, probably engine work, etc... Basically, only the body will remain and the tranny, if it's not dead. Because of all the money and work and parts involved, I wouldn't go over the prices that I mentioned. BTW, if you intend to do some offroading with it, the Ser II gearbox has great ratios for this kind of application.

Waved and got waved back by a white RR while driving from Ft. St. James to Terrace (serious chevy country) and saw 3 88" a 109 pickup and a Jaguar in someones back yard in Fort Fraser (a VERY small podunk logging town) Stopped but no one home. I thought one did put grease in the hub between the bearings, unless I am reading my manual all wrong. I also thought the point of grease packing was to act as afurther barrier between the brakes and the oil. I have done front and back hubs this way and have had no problems at all for at least 12k Hope I haven't jinxed myself. When I replaced my distance pieces, I used a really dull cold chisel and kind of mashed the edge of the distance piece in about 15 places then just pulled it off with my fingers. I first tried a sharp chisel but it just seemed to stick in the soft metal. A PVC pipe section and a rubber mallet works well for tapping on the new piece. Mike Cotton mentioned that the earliy 2.5l diesel used tha same block, head, crank etc. as the 2.25, with an increase stroke. If this is the case, what part do I need to make an old diesel into a new diesel, and is there a noticeable power increase for the trouble? Thanks all for the advice on the speedo problems.

The owner begins to affect this hue the more he eats. I suggest you switch your diet to strictly vegetarian. In reality pinging (the correct American onomatapoetic term) is caused by incorrect ignition timing or preigniting. Usually advancing the timing slightly will clear this up. If timing is set to specs and you are still experiencing preignition, premium fuel will help. Petrol with a higher octane rating burns more slowly, therefore more completely resulting in (theoretic) more power and fuel efficiency as well as reduced preignition.

Too bad for them, the Washington Power Elite don't drive Land Rovers (IF they own 4wd it's usually a fully decked out Chevy Suburban) and they don't "do" Georgetown. They live in Potomac and Middleburg and stay out of the city if they can avoid it. FYI there was a piece in the Post about those poor souls in Middleburg VA who don't have cable being starved for Olympic coverage of equestrian events. Like we care !

I heard that NBC wasn't covering events where Americans were not going to win anything, so for equestrian, doubt these chaps would get anything on cable anyway... :-) ------------------------------[ <- Message 85 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960725 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
