I was told this was the forum to ask my questions. Please send responces directly to me. my first questions follow: I am considering the purchase of a 1991 to 1993 Range Rover County but, I have yet to find any substantial information on the auto. As this will be my daily driver, I need to know if there are any nagging problems (electrical or mech.) with the vehicle. In other words "whats the dirt?" I've heard that the Lucus electrical system was put into the auto up to some year (which yr. I'm not sure) and could be a problem. (true/false & which yr.) I also need to know what the vehicle and engine's life expectancy is. What type of work I can do myself (alternator, water pump) or is it best left to professionals. Can some or many of the auto’s parts be switched out with American part from a local parts house? Your help will be greatly appreciated. :-) ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960916 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Date: Sun, 15 Sep 1996 16:19:09 -0500 From: ecrover@midcoast.com (Mike Smith) Subject: Dormobiles! Dear all, and esp. Quintin Aspin, After having owned 5 Land Rover 109 Dormobiles, having 2 at the moment, and various parts from them, I have to beg you NOT TO SCREW WITH AN ORIGINAL LR DORMOBILE! You have to remember that only about 200 to 500 of these Rovers were ever made! I have sold about 5 since ECR came about, and yes, they are hard to sell, but they DO sell, and every time I've sold one it has been to a very nice person who loves them to death! Don't chase after the might dollar so much that you forget that this is supposed to be fun, and good for Rovers. Yes, everyone wants a 5 door, but is it worth the price, you'll get no satisfaction, just money. I enjoy the fact that ECR brings Rovers back from the dead, and you should enjoy the fact that you have a rare one, and should pass it on to a fellow Rover fan who will have a great time using or restoring it. The guy from British Bulldog pulled 2 apart last year, to make them into stock 5 doors, do you want to be in that category? Fotunately I was able to buy the guts of one, and hand it out to needy owners of real Dormobiles across the US, a lot of whom are on this list. Being the US rep. for the Dormobile Owners' Club, I have to ask you to look more at Rovers, and less at money. *Could possibly be the reason why I'm not rich, but I'm having a great time, and that is more important!* If you do go ahead and take apart one more, please give me a call or email, I have a standing list of real Dormobile owners and the parts that they need, to make their machines more complete. Or at least send me the chassis VIN, and the Martin Walters VIN, so I can keep the documentation correct with the Club. At any rate, I know Dormobiles have a small following, but what would be your reaction if I was going to take a Pink Panther apart to make a pick up? What is the price? I may buy it just to keep it in one piece...email me direct. Thanks, the US rep. for the Dormobile Owners' Club.

Date: 15 Sep 96 22:27:35 EDT From: "Steven L. Meier" <102141.3253@CompuServe.COM> Subject: Alternator Mounting Re. Mounting an alternator to the 2.25L engine . . . use the LR mount and alter the alternator rather than use an adaptor/mounting bracket (a PIA to fit and adjust and added, unnecessary expense). An 80+- Delco with internal regulator (run all the plushmobile stuff you dreamed of and lights and more) is readily available and inexpensive compared to the Lucas that fits the existing bracket (more amps as well). Measure the distance between the mounting bracket on the 2.25L and remove with a "hack" (don't) saw or sawsall the required amount of the Delco mount from the end pointed to the bulkhead (it is more than strong enough to withstand the loss . . . just take your time with the cuts) . . . if you overcut shim with washers as needed. If the pulley does not line up just right, overcut and shim with washers front and back to line the whole thing up. If the LR dynamo bolt is frozen, cut it off without fear and buy a universal mounting bolt from the nearest parts store. Measure for a new belt and order a Gates (x2 with one for the spares bag) of the proper length (the frame will be there, so be aware of engine tip and rebound when final belt tension is reached). Retain and use the dynamo belt tension adjuster bracket . . . tighten just enough to keep the alternator spinning without "squeel" . . . too much and the bearings will go before their time. As I've said before, not "rocket science", just a bit of old fashioned "Yankee Inginuity" and some time with the warm beer/ale (respect for Mr. Lucas who wired the Brit Frig) to pay homage to the inventor(s) of this beast called a Series Land Rover we all "Love/Hate" with a passion that has no equal . . . well perhaps one . . . but "kids" may read the list. Homage, tempered by the greatest lady of them all (personal opinion . . . none the less true) who has convinced me that j*p comfort is not all bad on road and is convinced that off road the Land Rover is the only way (afraid to "destroy" the j*p "plushmobile" . . . the transport of her dreams).

But I am also an oppertunist. IF the car does change tops, I am very interested in those empty brackets and straps. There is some one in my area who is not wired, named Eric Mills. He has an orginal Dormobile & I believe he is missing a rear seat. Unfortunatly I do not have a phone number for him.

From: marsden@digicon-egr.co.uk (Richard Marsden) Subject: Aaargh! Date: Mon, 16 Sep 96 8:45:43 BST Spent all the weekend lifting the floor, replacing the gearstick + putting everything back including paint and sealant. I had serious wobble/grubscrew problems, hence the gearstick replacement. Also decided to replace the bracket with the special one with a switch for a reversing light. Adding reversing lights is something for the future, but the switch and wires are in place. Well, nearly all the weekend - I did spend a little time in a queue at the Albert Hall, but we did get in, so all was worth it (US readers: reference THE "Last Night of the Proms" - more British than a Land Rover). Anyway, driving to work today, the stick feels beautiful, as it were, *but* I can't select REVERSE!! When bolting the bracket back on, I checked that everything seemed to be moving. Perhaps I missed something, but the stick was actuating the switch fine. Perhaps the switch sticks out too much (it came with one nut, so the switch is flush against the bracket ATM). Any other suggestions at what to look for? A miracle solution that saves me lifting the floor and replacing all the sealant would be nice, but I doubt its possible somehow! Luckily, I've parked at work in a "drive-through" space (taking up 4 places! :-)) ), and the drive at home is on a nice slope that I can back off.
