Date: Sun, 22 Sep 1996 12:35:19 +0100 From: whastelow@atlas.co.uk (Simon Ward-Hastelow) Subject: Bagshot Heath 4x4 Show Yersterday I went to the Bagshot Heath 4x4 Show. I've never been to this event before so didn't know what to expect. It's certainly no 'Billing' but the off road driving section was absolutely brilliant, what the driving at Billing should always have been but probably never will be. This is an event based totally around off road driving, the 'show' section including trade stands are almost an afterthought, although there were a couple of stands of bits and accessories worth looking at. The show is sponsored by Toyota, with trade stands by Ford, Toyota, Suzuki, Ssangyong and Nissan. Landrover were not officially represented although there were a couple of Main dealers with Accessory stands and a couple of indepenents selling used vehicles and bits. There are three course to drive, The Alpine Section, through the trees and VERY tight in places, specially in my 110, The Rough Road course, which is just as it says, a rough road, nothing more, then there is the Cross Country section, this bit is supposed to be wet and boggy but due to the hot weather there were only a couple of wet bits and even me in my petrol 110 with no wading modifications could tackle those easily, if with a little aprehension at first. Looking around you would have thought that it was a 'Solihull-only' event. I guess that approx 90 per cent of all eventers were Landrovers, a handful of Discoveries and quite a few classic Range Rovers (no new model types). Surprisingly there were quite a number of Forward Controls, I don't think I've been to an event with so many actualy driving the course, they are a very impressive sight, almost looking clumsy on the course but never getting stuck. It's well worth a visit, with the three courses there's something for eveyone and there's even a childrens play area. No real criticisms it was very well organised but only suffered from it's own poularity, the Alipne Course frequently came to a standstill due to numbers of vehicles tackling it and some areas were very complex for novices in larger vehicles but these bits were expertly supervised and advice was freely and enthusiastically given. Don't miss it if you get the chance in future. ___________________________________________________________________ Simon Ward-Hastelow Orpington, Kent, U.K. whastelow@atlas.co.uk ___________________________________________________________________ ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 960923 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

GREAT POSTING! perhaps we could all post a little of our 'knowledge' this posting was very interesting, one of those things we all have to deal with every day but never know why, thread types and sizes, my early 110 seems to use metric and AF as well as some sizes I can never seem to find the right size tool for. Ray's post doesn't solve this of course but at least it was interesting to find out why we have these problems. now the only thing for me to do is think of something that only I nkow about that would have the rest of you applauding my wisdom and nominating me for a knighthood . . .

I'd bag it, myself, they sound like what you describe, but what won't say- jerks. You're in a sellers market, and unless you desperately need the immediate sale, you should be the one setting 'the rules', not them. It's a 1964 vehicle, afterall. Offer them the oppurtunity to have the vehicle 'scrutineered' (scrutinized) by the mechanic of their choice. If it has no known major defects to your knowledge, honestly represent it as such, and relax, because there's someone out there who would love to have it, knows what it is, and how to properly consider it. What will you do when they call you when something doesn't work? (something stupid like- maybe they forget to lock both hubs, engage 4WD, get stuck, call a wrecker, then pursue you for expenses?). In reality, tell them its a 1964 Land Rover, and it's guaranteed to break, piss them off, drive them crazy, and take over their lives. It's a war of wits; they're all haunted in the least. My LR, 'Nicky', is the "Lemon from Hell", but I'll go outside and start it up with the crank, and drive it back up to Stowe. It's a good show, again.

They have set some rules about >collecting the vehicle, when they take title and based on the vehicle passing >inspection, then they part with the cash. >My neighbour, who runs the local Volvo dealership here in Keene warned me >about the Lemon Laws and what I could be responsible for to get the vehicle >through inspection. I'm an engineer, not an attorney but here is my general understanding: Lemon laws - these are generally focused on new car sales and are a state issue. In most states truly private sellers are exempt from lemon laws. The law of the state in which the sale takes place applies, so assuming you sign over the title and collect the money in NH, MA state law has nothing to do with it. Their conditions on payment after inspection in MA may complicate this. One alternative would be to drive it to MA prior to the sale, have it inspected, then drive back to NH for the actual sale. Could be a major hassle. Generally goods from private sellers are free of implied warrenties. Two ways private sellers can be liable: fraud and express warrenties. If you know of a defect and purposely conceal it or answer questions untruthfully you may be liable for any future related problems. While your not obliged to disclose defects unless asked, it's a good idea to mention any major problems sometime before the actual transaction. Express warrenties are promises you make about the condition and future performance. Express warrenties overide the general shielding from liablity. From what I've seen of cable TV law programs, an oral contract (promise) is just as valid as a written one, just harder to enforce. It sounds like you are being asked to provide some sort of express warrenty! Wonder over to your neighbor's Volvo store and have a look at his used cars for sale. Each one will have an FTC window sticker with one of two boxes checked. The first says the vehicle is sold "as is" with no warrenty expressed or implied. The second details the warrenty terms. I'm not about to sell a vehicle as a private individual other than "as is". Final question: Does this couple understand what they are buying? That it isn't a slightly older D110 or Range Rover but a 32 year old vehicle which WILL require ongoing maintenance and repair? And unless you live near a specialist you will either have grease under the fingernails or go through large sums of money with a mechanic who doesn't know LRs. If they are truly reasonable people there shoud be a way to alleviate their concerns about inspection without major hassle, complete the transaction on an "as is" basis in NH, and get the money when the vehicle and title are handed over. BTW, when I sell a vehicle I always get a second copy of the bill of sale signed by the buyer so I can claim I no longer own the vehicle.

From: EvanD103@aol.com Date: Sun, 22 Sep 1996 18:55:38 -0400 Subject: Re: Transfer box woes When I rebuilt my '73 Ser III 88" last year there were only three things I did not replace or rebuild - the front and rear diffs and the transfer box bearings. Last week I posted the finding of loose bolts holding the rear crown wheel to the differential carrier. This week its the transfer box I'm having to go into. Hopefully next week the front diff will still be ok. When I overhauled the gearbox/transfer box I could not get the transfer box bearings out. They felt fine, so I just put the thing together with new seals, gaskets, and front output shaft bearing. I didn't even adjust the preload - just reinstalled the original shim pack. I suppose that was my mistake. I've gotten sick and tired of listening to the whining and howling and finally pulled the transfer box out and apart again. It was so much easier to do with floor boards and seat box held down with non-rusty nuts and bolts this time. This time I also persevered, followed the instructions in the manual, and did get the transfer box apart. I'll order new bearings and misc. seals and gaskets, but wonder if there is anything else I should know or do. Any hints on putting this thing together? I've got my piece of string and fish scale ready for the setting of the preload this time, after finding it was much too low last time. That will teach me to just reinstall the original shims. Any other hints that will save me from having to take it all apart a third time would be appreciated!

I have one of the craddock HD wheel braces. I keep meaning to buy one of those crossbraces with a socket to make removal quicker. I used air impact guns for a while & I hate undoing wheel nuts by hand. Anyway, I have weller wheels with more off set than normal LR wheels and I can just get the handle to clear the tyre. There is enough clearance to stand on the handle. If you have wide wheels with a silly offset it might be worth trying one before you buy. But it is unlikely that you will have sillier wheels than me. The police use these as universal door keys. You just put it through the window... As for your sump nut Richard, I'd use a trolley jack to turn what ever implement you use. Trevor's description had me rolling round the floor spluttering coffee everywhere, I've done similar things far to often. A safer method is to get the handle as near horizontal as possible and lift it with you trolley jack. When it slips you are safely out of the way. I learnt this trick on a Metro where the front spoiler coincides with the end of my T bar exactly! There is just enough room to get enough momentum to bruise your knuckles! How about heat the oil (and sump) then cool the plug with some ice?
