I have 1 of 4 known (custom made) SIII grills which are made of steel. 
You can cook most anything on mine.  The one I have is an exact copy of
the original grill with the horizontal bars and mesh. Some may remember
the "prototype" that was sold at the OVLR birthday bash.

Ralph,
I think you would be surprised at just how much Land Rovers are in England.
When I was there last March I stopped by some shops (shoppes????) that sold
new and (mostly) used Landies. ALL of them, from Shropshire to Kirkham
bitched at how we Yanks get what amouts to be a better deal on them than they
do. England has a 17% VAT (value added tax) plus there are all sorts of other
taxes and charges that add up to essentially doubling the cost of the vehicle
from the time the dealer gets it to the time it drives off of the lot. From a
Range Rover to a Series I with a powdered frame.
In fact, one of the reasons the 109 was so popular was because as "13 seater
(two 5 person benches plus 3 in the front)" or the more popular "12 seater (3
front, 3 back, 6 on the benches)" it qualified as a BUS, therefore moving
into a much lower tax bracket. Nevermind that 12 people in TWO Landies is
uncomfortable enough. Most people got them home and changed the seating to
their liking, counting  their change.
It was due to this beauracracy that can only be rivaled here in the states
that the 109 was considerably cheaper than an 88.
I think the big advantage one gets by owning a Landy in the land of tea and
sheep is that parts are available and cheaper ~ with more aftermarket
choices, and that fixing a Land Rover in East BF Chipping Camden is
tantamount to getting the old Ford running at the corner gas and feed store
in Lower Hick Ridge Alabama.
Also, in the land of Blood Pie one can get a basic 90, pretty much a two seat
panel truck that we SeriesIIA drivers consider spartan, whereas US
enthusiasts get the deluxe model or nothing in the U S of A.
US import/grey market wheeler dealers get the advantage of buying these
vehicles without paying VAT, and even with the import taxes, can bring them
to the US reasonably. I know of two 110s that live on Nantucket that were
brought over in the heyday of the Robb Report era. Both of them came here for
less than what ONE legit 110 goes for now with 100k on the odometer. Makes
one cry, no? Unfortunately it's tougher to get them in now unless you've got
a pal who's in the military and stationed in Europe. My Rear-Admiral uncle's
Mercedes cost him $15,000.
So sleep easy, my boy, you're in the greatest G*d Da*m country in the world.
So go shoot yer gun! Go to McDonalds! Top off that fuel tank! Be Wasteful!
You're an AMERICAN!

I suppose one of the advantages is that after a long drive in midsummer you 
don't need to season the chicken.

If you BBQ on the front grill without first removing all traces of the
galvanizing, you may be in for some unhappy after effects.

Subject: parts

TerriAnn is right 
Brit Pacif. is probably , across the board, the most reasonably priced place
to get parts. On the rare occasions when they are more expensive than the
others, as with the example of my Range Rover bushings being about 10% more
expensive than the other sources, it's because BP sold me Old Man Emu, and
the other places were selling somthing like Middle-Aged Grumpy Chicken Hawk.
Plus, the guys are so NICE and helpful. We Southerners are used to nice, but
there must be something in the mineral water in Burbank that makes these guys
so easy to deal with. Marty is dude #1 in my book.
Even with shipping  from CA to NC, BP usually wins the price war.
I always call Bruce at DAP too. He's honest, really cool and Jesus does he
know Rovers!
For that reason and that his prices are sometimes very good too, I give DAP
my business sometimes.

Subject: electronic Ig.

I put in something called THE IGNITOR by Pertronix. I put it in in 30 minutes
while still wearing my tie. It was only $110 and highly recommended by my
Brit Car mechanic pals. I hear the Lumenintion works a little better, but
doesn't it need adjusting? Or maybe it's tough to get running right at the
beginning ~ something to do with the optical set up. The Pertonix deal uses a
magnet.
Either way, my IIa has never run better or been more reliable, so I would
recommend any kind of elecronic ignition but carry your old points in case of
failure, and replace your cap and rotor & plugs and wires at the same time. I
hear the new ignition has a tendency to burn up borderline components that
would be safe with a traditonal set up.

Hi Paul,

Since I'm the person who first threw the "Yank" appelation into the mix
(not to insult anyone - not even the hyper-sensitive, who are such easy
meat they're not really worth insulting - but merely as a description of
a country of origin), and who has watched in despair as the advice that
I gave, in good faith, has been flogged to death, allow me to attempt
the 'coup de grace' on this subject. I've follwed these postings quite
closely, no-one (particularly not me) mentioned "crap" in the same
sentence as "Yank".

Of the people who responded in support of the point of view that FWH's
aren't the alpha and omega, I can find only 2 who are identifiable as
being of English origin, again particularly not me!

Please lets kill this subject now. And in future lets try a little more
tolerance and a little less dogmatism (I for one subscribe to the lists
to get other opinions on a subject). And please lets leave the violins
at home.

Kind regards

I put mine in the fire, got it screaming hot and seasoned it with peanut
oil a few times.  helps the bugs slip off before cooking.  (save the

Well a lot of you responded to my distress call. with some soud 
advice.
Thank you.

My course of action is now,

    -Get the vehicle in a condition that it can be APK (kind of MOT) 
     approved.
    -have a experd on Land Rovers diagnose the engine and then 
     make up my mind on whether to repair, rebuild or swap the engine.
    -Just wait and see whatever happens to the gearbox.

Actually, I have a story about stopping to help a stranded Jeep   
yesterday:

I was driving home from work and I saw a not-so-new J**p on the side of   
the highway, so I decided to stop and see if the occupant needed a lift.   
 Lo and behold, a HOT blond of the female persuasion jumps out.  Turns   
out, that the engine just died on her.  Upon closer examination, I   
discovered that she had run out of gas. (I guess that makes her a TRUE   
blond - and I can say this because my wife is blond, more on that later   
in the story.)  So, I took her to a gas station, filled up my new Jerry   
Can with 5L of gas and we headed back to her J**p.  After priming her   
carbatater, I got it started.  She was so grateful, that she said she   
would do ANYTHING to repay me.  She grabbed my crotch and I ran away to   
my 90 mumbling something about being married.  I never got my 90 to   
accelerate so fast in my life as I drove home to my wife.  (Of couse, as   
soon as I got home I had a Guinness or three.)

        OK I gotta say something. On many occasions I offered full support
from myself and my company to LROA. I even sent a letter to be read at
their meeting, when everything was changing. I basically got nowhere due to
the fact that I was not able to attend their meeting in California, how
National is that?. I also offered services for an Event, but again no
takers due to the bit about liability. ECR puts on an Off Road day, we
didn't take a year to worry about liability. Just one call to the agent,
and a few bucks it was done. Also stepped forward as a regional
co-ordinator and got no where with that because I live close to Myles
Murphy. Also sent in a story about a winter event put on by Bruce Fowler up
here in a great snow storm, etc. Saw nothing.

        We'd like to help out, but it seems like unless you can attend
meetings in California, you're not part of the National organization.

>  Call or email John Hess and ask what you can do.

        Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to slam LROA, I think it could
be a great thing, and I hope all Rover clubs continue to run and grow as
they should. I'd still like to offer my support and help out with all the
clubs I can, but I think some items need to be driven home about not
concentratiing on things like corporations, due to fear of everything,
politics, etc. Clubs are supposed to be fun right??? The VA guys put on a
good show, as does OV and Bay State, and others, as does ECR's off road day
and Myles' DownEast even without a club.

        Maybe more on substance to make the club great, events, mags, etc.
and less about what you have to do now, incorporate, get organized, etc,
because you will be great.

        I'll be an optimist, and hope all goes well.

Thought I'd bore you with yet another posting...

I was southbound on McLintock Rd. in Tempe Arizona last night, when a
D110 WOOSHED by me on my right, and merged right in front of me (since
the right land was ending just in front of me). Before I could even
complete my initial thought of "what a yahoo..." I noticed it was a
D110. I immediately floored it and managed to catch up to it (109 = 0 to
60 mph in the same day!) then I had my chance to pull right next to him
at a light. We exchanged waves, and commenced to check out each others
rigs. At the green light, I managed to stay side by side for, oh, about
15 feet, then the power of the V8 rocketed the D110 ahead of me. I had
to turn right at the next light, and we parted.

I think it had Oregon plates on it, but I didn't have my glasses on or
my contacts in. (scary, huh?) It was a US spec '93. (Gotta love that
external roll cage setup!)

Wasn't that exciting???!!! You're gonna want to keep this post, aren't
you? ;-)

Subject: RE: Axle Breathers

Dear all,

I've just tried to replace both axle breathers on my 1976 109 Station wagon. A 
10 minute job I thought. (I don't know why I always fall for that old one). 
The front axle was no problem but the rear Salisbury axle is giving problems.

The original breather had no threads at all but was reasonably solid (DPO - 
must have cross-threaded it I thought).  However, the replacement would not 
fit as the threads made it too large for the hole. Realisation dawns, the DPO 
must have hammered to old one in, hence no threads.

I have checked the serial numbers against my parts catalogue and as far as I 
can tell the breathers are common to all axles, so it should be the right one. 
All I can guess is that my axle is a replacement and maybe should have the 
later tube type breather. Before I send away for one, does anyone know if 
these used a smaller thread size than the earlier type? and if not, does 
anyone have any suggestions, I suspect I may have to have the threads in the 
axle re-cut.

All the best from windy Scotland

They should be identical and a straight swap.  I've replaced the older 
check valves with remotes on both axles of my 109.  No problem.  I don't see
any reason the Salisbury should differ; same part right?

Anyone out there familir with these?

I picked up a Maxxon (sp?)hand held unit at
Walmart for less than $60 bucks.  If you want to
use it on hte highway everyday I would get a
regular installed unit or at least get an external
antannae for the handheld.  I got it just for
occasional use like you.  Mainly just to talk to
the others in my group close by or for
emergencies.  For that purpose, it works well
and you can also use it out of the vehicle if need
be.

My only problem is that, when using the cigar
adaptor, i get a whine that varies with engine
speed and makes it almost unusable.  With
batteries it works fine for what it is.

Any ideas on the whine?

Hi Paul,

Since I'm the person who first threw the "Yank" appelation into the mix
(not to insult anyone - not even the hyper-sensitive, who are such easy
meat they're not really worth insulting - but merely as a description of
a country of origin), and who has watched in despair as the advice that
I gave, in good faith, has been flogged to death, allow me to attempt
the 'coup de grace' on this subject. I've follwed these postings quite
closely, no-one (particularly not me) mentioned "crap" in the same
sentence as "Yank".

Of the people who responded in support of the point of view that FWH's
aren't the alpha and omega, I can find only 2 who are identifiable as
being of English origin, again particularly not me!

Please lets kill this subject now. And in future lets try a little more
tolerance and a little less dogmatism (I for one subscribe to the lists
to get other opinions on a subject). And please lets leave the violins
at home.

Kind regards

Ice Capades, Act II...

I did not realize snow chains acted as snow shoes for tires?  
If you enjoy digging drive up over any old snowbank and sit there.  Eventually 
you'll find one you'll sink in:)! (this is sarcasm, light criticism so take 
it lightly!  Part of the danger of snow is that it hides everything under 
it, you really have no idea if it's hard packed underneath or soft, as in 
the case of plowed snow with a fresh batch over it, so if it's just you 
then go thrashing all around or whatever, but if other people are 
depending on you to come through, (like the doctors and nurses you 
mentioned you were picking up) please be prudent, not risky.  If your 
truck had sunk in the snowbank you climbed you might have been stuck, 
delaying the arrival of the people you were trying to help, possibly 
hindering the care of patients.  I say this because in my volunteer work 
for a local hospital here on L.I, one of my deliveries to the hospital 
was a doctor needed to deliver somebody else into this world.  Some times 
time is of the essence, or at least an important factor.  Snow sucks to 
get stuck in.  Blasting through a drift is fun and looks great, unless 
it's really a parked car. (I saw someone do this, quite impressive)

Driver skill in snowy conditions is the major part of the battle, some of 
these 4-wheelers around here are of the weekend warrior mentality and are 
a little too gung-ho for their own good, and the good of other people on 
the road.   Sure driving in snow can be great fun, but go 
nuts in empty parking lots or big fields you're familiar with (ones that 
you've seen before the snow fell, snow covered rock+your truck=$$$)  I'm not 
impressed at somebody's rig blasting along the highway at 
60mph plus in a blizzard.  I'm impressed with their lack of intelligence, 
and will pull over and wait 'til they are out of sight if I can.  More 
often than not they are the ones spun out and in the ditch across the 
highway.  Imagine spinning out in snow at 60 and contacting a guard rail or 
going into a ditch, what fun! NOT!

By the by, if Guinness is the beverage, Padron is the cigar!
Both are dark, full bodied, I'd even say luxuriously strong.  I think 
drinking Guinness reactivates your appendix from vestigial status.

Snow in Ottawa? Send some down here!

Hi Paul,

Since I'm the person who first threw the "Yank" appelation into the mix
(not to insult anyone - not even the hyper-sensitive, who are such easy
meat they're not really worth insulting - but merely as a description of
a country of origin), and who has watched in despair as the advice that
I gave, in good faith, has been flogged to death, allow me to attempt
the 'coup de grace' on this subject. I've follwed these postings quite
closely, no-one (particularly not me) mentioned "crap" in the same
sentence as "Yank".

Of the people who responded in support of the point of view that FWH's
aren't the alpha and omega, I can find only 2 who are identifiable as
being of English origin, again particularly not me!

Please lets kill this subject now. And in future lets try a little more
tolerance and a little less dogmatism (I for one subscribe to the lists
to get other opinions on a subject). And please lets leave the violins
at home.

Kind regards

I'm thinking of picking up some sort of CB for
my truck.  . . .  I can pick up a RadioShack (don't
laugh) portable for $30 used.  Does
that sound reasonable?

I picked up a Maxxon (sp?)hand held unit at
Walmart for less than $60 bucks.  If you want to
use it on hte highway everyday I would get a
regular installed unit or at least get an external
antannae for the handheld.  I got it just for
occasional use like you.  Mainly just to talk to
the others in my group close by or for
emergencies.  For that purpose, it works well
and you can also use it out of the vehicle if need
be.

My only problem is that, when using the cigar
adaptor, i get a whine that varies with engine
speed and makes it almost unusable.  With
batteries it works fine for what it is.

Any ideas on the whine?

At great risk I ask:
So, what do people think of FWH on a Rover.......

Please, PLEASE--it's just a joke ;-)

SERIOUSLY,
I do have a question. My newly purchased '69 IIA SWB has a pair of FWH
unlike any I have ever seen. Each hub has two levers that unfold out
opposite each other to help rotate the hub into or out of engagement. In
addition, there are the remains of a blue and white sticker on one of the
hubs. There is no mention of them in the owner's manuals, US supplement,
etc. that came with the Rover.

Anyone out there familir with these?

Thanks
David

p.s. just my $0.02: my experience with FWH on two other SWB vehicles
(non-Rover) has been a noticeable change in the steering; quieter and
tighter turning radius with the FWH dis-engaged. FWIW

Ice Capades, Act II...

I did not realize snow chains acted as snow shoes for tires?  
If you enjoy digging drive up over any old snowbank and sit there.  Eventually 
you'll find one you'll sink in:)! (this is sarcasm, light criticism so take 
it lightly!  Part of the danger of snow is that it hides everything under 
it, you really have no idea if it's hard packed underneath or soft, as in 
the case of plowed snow with a fresh batch over it, so if it's just you 
then go thrashing all around or whatever, but if other people are 
depending on you to come through, (like the doctors and nurses you 
mentioned you were picking up) please be prudent, not risky.  If your 
truck had sunk in the snowbank you climbed you might have been stuck, 
delaying the arrival of the people you were trying to help, possibly 
hindering the care of patients.  I say this because in my volunteer work 
for a local hospital here on L.I, one of my deliveries to the hospital 
was a doctor needed to deliver somebody else into this world.  Some times 
time is of the essence, or at least an important factor.  Snow sucks to 
get stuck in.  Blasting through a drift is fun and looks great, unless 
it's really a parked car. (I saw someone do this, quite impressive)

Driver skill in snowy conditions is the major part of the battle, some of 
these 4-wheelers around here are of the weekend warrior mentality and are 
a little too gung-ho for their own good, and the good of other people on 
the road.   Sure driving in snow can be great fun, but go 
nuts in empty parking lots or big fields you're familiar with (ones that 
you've seen before the snow fell, snow covered rock+your truck=$$$)  I'm not 
impressed at somebody's rig blasting along the highway at 
60mph plus in a blizzard.  I'm impressed with their lack of intelligence, 
and will pull over and wait 'til they are out of sight if I can.  More 
often than not they are the ones spun out and in the ditch across the 
highway.  Imagine spinning out in snow at 60 and contacting a guard rail or 
going into a ditch, what fun! NOT!

By the by, if Guinness is the beverage, Padron is the cigar!
Both are dark, full bodied, I'd even say luxuriously strong.  I think 
drinking Guinness reactivates your appendix from vestigial status.

Snow in Ottawa? Send some down here!

As I was reading through the repair guide recently I noted that for my 59 88
it says to use Girling clutch and brake fluid for, you guessed it, the
brakes and clutch. I am guessing this probably doesn't exist anymore, so
what should I use, brake fluid DOT 3 or what????

Hi fellow series lovers

If when I posted my questions about free-whell hubs last, I had know
what a tirade of divergent pan-atlantic intolerance it would have
unleashed onto the more unsuspecting of our fellow subscribers, I may
have relented from asking the question. I did not realise that the
discussion of add-ons would provoke such heartfelt reactions between the
US and the UK - well as someone once said, "America and England, two
peoples seperated by a common language!"

Thanks for all the answers to this one, in the course of reading these I
have learnt a lot more about the car I have been driving for 15 years -
which is what this list is all about - let's keep it that way! Thanks!

Thanks to everybody who wished Austria a happy millenium! I will let the 
country know. Let's all hope the next thousand years are better than the 
last, and that I manage to finish my restoration before 2996 (there was your

Now if somebody could tell me how to change my signature on Eudora?

They should be identical and a straight swap.  I've replaced the older 
check valves with remotes on both axles of my 109.  No problem.  I don't see

I'm thinking of picking up some sort of CB for
my truck.  . . .  I can pick up a RadioShack (don't
laugh) portable for $30 used.  Does
that sound reasonable?

I picked up a Maxxon (sp?)hand held unit at
Walmart for less than $60 bucks.  If you want to
use it on hte highway everyday I would get a
regular installed unit or at least get an external
antannae for the handheld.  I got it just for
occasional use like you.  Mainly just to talk to
the others in my group close by or for
emergencies.  For that purpose, it works well
and you can also use it out of the vehicle if need
be.

My only problem is that, when using the cigar
adaptor, i get a whine that varies with engine
speed and makes it almost unusable.  With
batteries it works fine for what it is.

Any ideas on the whine?

I read (some of) the posts with a bit of amusement. There has been 
quite a bit of discussion on engine replacements and I don't believe 
they've generated near the heated debate that ~$150 accessory has.

Guess I'm a moderate. I've owned LR's both with and without locking 
hubs.
Have a good weekend folks.

X-edited-by: LRO-Lite
Message-ID: <bulk.28252.19961101132651@Land-Rover.Team.Net>

Ice Capades, Act II...

I did not realize snow chains acted as snow shoes for tires?  
If you enjoy digging drive up over any old snowbank and sit there.  Eventually 
you'll find one you'll sink in:)! (this is sarcasm, light criticism so take 
it lightly!  Part of the danger of snow is that it hides everything under 
it, you really have no idea if it's hard packed underneath or soft, as in 
the case of plowed snow with a fresh batch over it, so if it's just you 
then go thrashing all around or whatever, but if other people are 
depending on you to come through, (like the doctors and nurses you 
mentioned you were picking up) please be prudent, not risky.  If your 
truck had sunk in the snowbank you climbed you might have been stuck, 
delaying the arrival of the people you were trying to help, possibly 
hindering the care of patients.  I say this because in my volunteer work 
for a local hospital here on L.I, one of my deliveries to the hospital 
was a doctor needed to deliver somebody else into this world.  Some times 
time is of the essence, or at least an important factor.  Snow sucks to 
get stuck in.  Blasting through a drift is fun and looks great, unless 
it's really a parked car. (I saw someone do this, quite impressive)

Driver skill in snowy conditions is the major part of the battle, some of 
these 4-wheelers around here are of the weekend warrior mentality and are 
a little too gung-ho for their own good, and the good of other people on 
the road.   Sure driving in snow can be great fun, but go 
nuts in empty parking lots or big fields you're familiar with (ones that 
you've seen before the snow fell, snow covered rock+your truck=$$$)  I'm not 
impressed at somebody's rig blasting along the highway at 
60mph plus in a blizzard.  I'm impressed with their lack of intelligence, 
and will pull over and wait 'til they are out of sight if I can.  More 
often than not they are the ones spun out and in the ditch across the 
highway.  Imagine spinning out in snow at 60 and contacting a guard rail or 
going into a ditch, what fun! NOT!

By the by, if Guinness is the beverage, Padron is the cigar!
Both are dark, full bodied, I'd even say luxuriously strong.  I think 
drinking Guinness reactivates your appendix from vestigial status.

Snow in Ottawa? Send some down here!

Thanks to everybody who wished Austria a happy millenium! I will let the 
country know. Let's all hope the next thousand years are better than the 
last, and that I manage to finish my restoration before 2996 (there was your 
LR content!)

Now if somebody could tell me how to change my signature on Eudora?

I'm thinking of picking up some sort of CB for
my truck.  . . .  I can pick up a RadioShack (don't
laugh) portable for $30 used.  Does
that sound reasonable?

I picked up a Maxxon (sp?)hand held unit at
Walmart for less than $60 bucks.  If you want to
use it on hte highway everyday I would get a
regular installed unit or at least get an external
antannae for the handheld.  I got it just for
occasional use like you.  Mainly just to talk to
the others in my group close by or for
emergencies.  For that purpose, it works well
and you can also use it out of the vehicle if need
be.

My only problem is that, when using the cigar
adaptor, i get a whine that varies with engine
speed and makes it almost unusable.  With
batteries it works fine for what it is.

Any ideas on the whine?

Hi fellow series lovers

If when I posted my questions about free-whell hubs last, I had know
what a tirade of divergent pan-atlantic intolerance it would have
unleashed onto the more unsuspecting of our fellow subscribers, I may
have relented from asking the question. I did not realise that the
discussion of add-ons would provoke such heartfelt reactions between the
US and the UK - well as someone once said, "America and England, two
peoples seperated by a common language!"

Thanks for all the answers to this one, in the course of reading these I
have learnt a lot more about the car I have been driving for 15 years -
which is what this list is all about - let's keep it that way! Thanks!

It's the damnedest thing...  Everytime someone says something on the   
list, those with different opinions get on their soap boxes.  I agree   
with Paul Oxley, JUST LET IT GO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

Hi Paul,

Since I'm the person who first threw the "Yank" appelation into the mix
(not to insult anyone - not even the hyper-sensitive, who are such easy
meat they're not really worth insulting - but merely as a description of
a country of origin), and who has watched in despair as the advice that
I gave, in good faith, has been flogged to death, allow me to attempt
the 'coup de grace' on this subject. I've follwed these postings quite
closely, no-one (particularly not me) mentioned "crap" in the same
sentence as "Yank".

Of the people who responded in support of the point of view that FWH's
aren't the alpha and omega, I can find only 2 who are identifiable as
being of English origin, again particularly not me!

Please lets kill this subject now. And in future lets try a little more
tolerance and a little less dogmatism (I for one subscribe to the lists
to get other opinions on a subject). And please lets leave the violins
at home.

Kind regards

At great risk I ask:
So, what do people think of FWH on a Rover.......

Please, PLEASE--it's just a joke ;-)

SERIOUSLY,
I do have a question. My newly purchased '69 IIA SWB has a pair of FWH
unlike any I have ever seen. Each hub has two levers that unfold out
opposite each other to help rotate the hub into or out of engagement. In
addition, there are the remains of a blue and white sticker on one of the
hubs. There is no mention of them in the owner's manuals, US supplement,
etc. that came with the Rover.

Anyone out there familir with these?

Thanks
David

p.s. just my $0.02: my experience with FWH on two other SWB vehicles
(non-Rover) has been a noticeable change in the steering; quieter and
tighter turning radius with the FWH dis-engaged. FWIW

I'm thinking of picking up some sort of CB for
my truck.  . . .  I can pick up a RadioShack (don't
laugh) portable for $30 used.  Does
that sound reasonable?

I picked up a Maxxon (sp?)hand held unit at
Walmart for less than $60 bucks.  If you want to
use it on hte highway everyday I would get a
regular installed unit or at least get an external
antannae for the handheld.  I got it just for
occasional use like you.  Mainly just to talk to
the others in my group close by or for
emergencies.  For that purpose, it works well
and you can also use it out of the vehicle if need
be.

My only problem is that, when using the cigar
adaptor, i get a whine that varies with engine
speed and makes it almost unusable.  With
batteries it works fine for what it is.

Any ideas on the whine?

Hi fellow series lovers

If when I posted my questions about free-whell hubs last, I had know
what a tirade of divergent pan-atlantic intolerance it would have
unleashed onto the more unsuspecting of our fellow subscribers, I may
have relented from asking the question. I did not realise that the
discussion of add-ons would provoke such heartfelt reactions between the
US and the UK - well as someone once said, "America and England, two
peoples seperated by a common language!"

Thanks for all the answers to this one, in the course of reading these I
have learnt a lot more about the car I have been driving for 15 years -
which is what this list is all about - let's keep it that way! Thanks!

It's the damnedest thing...  Everytime someone says something on the   
list, those with different opinions get on their soap boxes.  I agree   
with Paul Oxley, JUST LET IT GO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

Mom, always said "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it."   
 Of course, I never followed that bit of advice...  :>

Hi Paul,

Since I'm the person who first threw the "Yank" appelation into the mix
(not to insult anyone - not even the hyper-sensitive, who are such easy
meat they're not really worth insulting - but merely as a description of
a country of origin), and who has watched in despair as the advice that
I gave, in good faith, has been flogged to death, allow me to attempt
the 'coup de grace' on this subject. I've follwed these postings quite
closely, no-one (particularly not me) mentioned "crap" in the same
sentence as "Yank".

Of the people who responded in support of the point of view that FWH's
aren't the alpha and omega, I can find only 2 who are identifiable as
being of English origin, again particularly not me!

Please lets kill this subject now. And in future lets try a little more
tolerance and a little less dogmatism (I for one subscribe to the lists
to get other opinions on a subject). And please lets leave the violins
at home.

Kind regards

I read (some of) the posts with a bit of amusement. There has been 
quite a bit of discussion on engine replacements and I don't believe 
they've generated near the heated debate that ~$150 accessory has.

Guess I'm a moderate. I've owned LR's both with and without locking 
hubs.
Have a good weekend folks.

Anyone out there able to shed light on this one:

0 - 60 kilometers per hour - speedo reads "apparantly" correct speed
over 60 (motorway cruising) - speedo pointers swings rythmically between
40 k.p.h. and 80-90 k.p.h. Sudden removal of foot from gaspedal will
send speedo pointer to true speed, regaining positive drive again will
return to wobbly normal.

Cable is new, seems ok on inspection, and is seated well at both ends?

Anyone else had this disease? Whats the cure?

Ice Capades, Act II...

I did not realize snow chains acted as snow shoes for tires?  
If you enjoy digging drive up over any old snowbank and sit there.  Eventually 
you'll find one you'll sink in:)! (this is sarcasm, light criticism so take 
it lightly!  Part of the danger of snow is that it hides everything under 
it, you really have no idea if it's hard packed underneath or soft, as in 
the case of plowed snow with a fresh batch over it, so if it's just you 
then go thrashing all around or whatever, but if other people are 
depending on you to come through, (like the doctors and nurses you 
mentioned you were picking up) please be prudent, not risky.  If your 
truck had sunk in the snowbank you climbed you might have been stuck, 
delaying the arrival of the people you were trying to help, possibly 
hindering the care of patients.  I say this because in my volunteer work 
for a local hospital here on L.I, one of my deliveries to the hospital 
was a doctor needed to deliver somebody else into this world.  Some times 
time is of the essence, or at least an important factor.  Snow sucks to 
get stuck in.  Blasting through a drift is fun and looks great, unless 
it's really a parked car. (I saw someone do this, quite impressive)

Driver skill in snowy conditions is the major part of the battle, some of 
these 4-wheelers around here are of the weekend warrior mentality and are 
a little too gung-ho for their own good, and the good of other people on 
the road.   Sure driving in snow can be great fun, but go 
nuts in empty parking lots or big fields you're familiar with (ones that 
you've seen before the snow fell, snow covered rock+your truck=$$$)  I'm not 
impressed at somebody's rig blasting along the highway at 
60mph plus in a blizzard.  I'm impressed with their lack of intelligence, 
and will pull over and wait 'til they are out of sight if I can.  More 
often than not they are the ones spun out and in the ditch across the 
highway.  Imagine spinning out in snow at 60 and contacting a guard rail or 
going into a ditch, what fun! NOT!

By the by, if Guinness is the beverage, Padron is the cigar!
Both are dark, full bodied, I'd even say luxuriously strong.  I think 
drinking Guinness reactivates your appendix from vestigial status.

Snow in Ottawa? Send some down here!

As I was reading through the repair guide recently I noted that for my 59 88
it says to use Girling clutch and brake fluid for, you guessed it, the
brakes and clutch. I am guessing this probably doesn't exist anymore, so
what should I use, brake fluid DOT 3 or what????

Anyone out there able to shed light on this one:

0 - 60 kilometers per hour - speedo reads "apparantly" correct speed
over 60 (motorway cruising) - speedo pointers swings rythmically between
40 k.p.h. and 80-90 k.p.h. Sudden removal of foot from gaspedal will
send speedo pointer to true speed, regaining positive drive again will
return to wobbly normal.

Cable is new, seems ok on inspection, and is seated well at both ends?

Anyone else had this disease? Whats the cure?

It's the damnedest thing...  Everytime someone says something on the   
list, those with different opinions get on their soap boxes.  I agree   
with Paul Oxley, JUST LET IT GO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

Hi Paul,

Since I'm the person who first threw the "Yank" appelation into the mix
(not to insult anyone - not even the hyper-sensitive, who are such easy
meat they're not really worth insulting - but merely as a description of
a country of origin), and who has watched in despair as the advice that
I gave, in good faith, has been flogged to death, allow me to attempt
the 'coup de grace' on this subject. I've follwed these postings quite
closely, no-one (particularly not me) mentioned "crap" in the same
sentence as "Yank".

Of the people who responded in support of the point of view that FWH's
aren't the alpha and omega, I can find only 2 who are identifiable as
being of English origin, again particularly not me!

Please lets kill this subject now. And in future lets try a little more
tolerance and a little less dogmatism (I for one subscribe to the lists
to get other opinions on a subject). And please lets leave the violins
at home.

Kind regards

I read (some of) the posts with a bit of amusement. There has been 
quite a bit of discussion on engine replacements and I don't believe 
they've generated near the heated debate that ~$150 accessory has.

Guess I'm a moderate. I've owned LR's both with and without locking 
hubs.
Have a good weekend folks.

As I was reading through the repair guide recently I noted that for my 59 88
it says to use Girling clutch and brake fluid for, you guessed it, the
brakes and clutch. I am guessing this probably doesn't exist anymore, so
what should I use, brake fluid DOT 3 or what????

Thanks

Ice Capades, Act II...

I did not realize snow chains acted as snow shoes for tires?  
If you enjoy digging drive up over any old snowbank and sit there.  Eventually 
you'll find one you'll sink in:)! (this is sarcasm, light criticism so take 
it lightly!  Part of the danger of snow is that it hides everything under 
it, you really have no idea if it's hard packed underneath or soft, as in 
the case of plowed snow with a fresh batch over it, so if it's just you 
then go thrashing all around or whatever, but if other people are 
depending on you to come through, (like the doctors and nurses you 
mentioned you were picking up) please be prudent, not risky.  If your 
truck had sunk in the snowbank you climbed you might have been stuck, 
delaying the arrival of the people you were trying to help, possibly 
hindering the care of patients.  I say this because in my volunteer work 
for a local hospital here on L.I, one of my deliveries to the hospital 
was a doctor needed to deliver somebody else into this world.  Some times 
time is of the essence, or at least an important factor.  Snow sucks to 
get stuck in.  Blasting through a drift is fun and looks great, unless 
it's really a parked car. (I saw someone do this, quite impressive)

Driver skill in snowy conditions is the major part of the battle, some of 
these 4-wheelers around here are of the weekend warrior mentality and are 
a little too gung-ho for their own good, and the good of other people on 
the road.   Sure driving in snow can be great fun, but go 
nuts in empty parking lots or big fields you're familiar with (ones that 
you've seen before the snow fell, snow covered rock+your truck=$$$)  I'm not 
impressed at somebody's rig blasting along the highway at 
60mph plus in a blizzard.  I'm impressed with their lack of intelligence, 
and will pull over and wait 'til they are out of sight if I can.  More 
often than not they are the ones spun out and in the ditch across the 
highway.  Imagine spinning out in snow at 60 and contacting a guard rail or 
going into a ditch, what fun! NOT!

By the by, if Guinness is the beverage, Padron is the cigar!
Both are dark, full bodied, I'd even say luxuriously strong.  I think 
drinking Guinness reactivates your appendix from vestigial status.

Snow in Ottawa? Send some down here!

They should be identical and a straight swap.  I've replaced the older 
check valves with remotes on both axles of my 109.  No problem.  I don't see
any reason the Salisbury should differ; same part right?

It's the damnedest thing...  Everytime someone says something on the   
list, those with different opinions get on their soap boxes.  I agree   
with Paul Oxley, JUST LET IT GO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

Mom, always said "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it."   
 Of course, I never followed that bit of advice...  :>

Hi Paul,

Since I'm the person who first threw the "Yank" appelation into the mix
(not to insult anyone - not even the hyper-sensitive, who are such easy
meat they're not really worth insulting - but merely as a description of
a country of origin), and who has watched in despair as the advice that
I gave, in good faith, has been flogged to death, allow me to attempt
the 'coup de grace' on this subject. I've follwed these postings quite
closely, no-one (particularly not me) mentioned "crap" in the same
sentence as "Yank".

Of the people who responded in support of the point of view that FWH's
aren't the alpha and omega, I can find only 2 who are identifiable as
being of English origin, again particularly not me!

Please lets kill this subject now. And in future lets try a little more
tolerance and a little less dogmatism (I for one subscribe to the lists
to get other opinions on a subject). And please lets leave the violins
at home.

Kind regards

Paul Oxley

At great risk I ask:
So, what do people think of FWH on a Rover.......

Please, PLEASE--it's just a joke ;-)

SERIOUSLY,
I do have a question. My newly purchased '69 IIA SWB has a pair of FWH
unlike any I have ever seen. Each hub has two levers that unfold out
opposite each other to help rotate the hub into or out of engagement. In
addition, there are the remains of a blue and white sticker on one of the
hubs. There is no mention of them in the owner's manuals, US supplement,
etc. that came with the Rover.

Anyone out there familir with these?

Thanks
David

p.s. just my $0.02: my experience with FWH on two other SWB vehicles
(non-Rover) has been a noticeable change in the steering; quieter and
tighter turning radius with the FWH dis-engaged. FWIW

Anyone out there able to shed light on this one:

0 - 60 kilometers per hour - speedo reads "apparantly" correct speed
over 60 (motorway cruising) - speedo pointers swings rythmically between
40 k.p.h. and 80-90 k.p.h. Sudden removal of foot from gaspedal will
send speedo pointer to true speed, regaining positive drive again will
return to wobbly normal.

Cable is new, seems ok on inspection, and is seated well at both ends?

Anyone else had this disease? Whats the cure?

I read (some of) the posts with a bit of amusement. There has been 
quite a bit of discussion on engine replacements and I don't believe 
they've generated near the heated debate that ~$150 accessory has.

Guess I'm a moderate. I've owned LR's both with and without locking 
hubs.
Have a good weekend folks.

That'd probably be me.  As a graduate of Jean-Paul Luc's ice driving school 
at Steamboat, they teach you *a lot* of nifty tricks and techniques.  
However, I'd put the driver's skill (or lack thereof - and if you've ever 
had a late model Cadilac slide past you sideways at 25 mph with the driver's 
hands locked in a death-grip with a look of abject terror in their eyes - 
you know what I'm talking about) at 50% with the other two components 
rounding out the equation.  Cheers

Ice Capades, Act II...

I did not realize snow chains acted as snow shoes for tires?  
If you enjoy digging drive up over any old snowbank and sit there.  Eventually 
you'll find one you'll sink in:)! (this is sarcasm, light criticism so take 
it lightly!  Part of the danger of snow is that it hides everything under 
it, you really have no idea if it's hard packed underneath or soft, as in 
the case of plowed snow with a fresh batch over it, so if it's just you 
then go thrashing all around or whatever, but if other people are 
depending on you to come through, (like the doctors and nurses you 
mentioned you were picking up) please be prudent, not risky.  If your 
truck had sunk in the snowbank you climbed you might have been stuck, 
delaying the arrival of the people you were trying to help, possibly 
hindering the care of patients.  I say this because in my volunteer work 
for a local hospital here on L.I, one of my deliveries to the hospital 
was a doctor needed to deliver somebody else into this world.  Some times 
time is of the essence, or at least an important factor.  Snow sucks to 
get stuck in.  Blasting through a drift is fun and looks great, unless 
it's really a parked car. (I saw someone do this, quite impressive)

Driver skill in snowy conditions is the major part of the battle, some of 
these 4-wheelers around here are of the weekend warrior mentality and are 
a little too gung-ho for their own good, and the good of other people on 
the road.   Sure driving in snow can be great fun, but go 
nuts in empty parking lots or big fields you're familiar with (ones that 
you've seen before the snow fell, snow covered rock+your truck=$$$)  I'm not 
impressed at somebody's rig blasting along the highway at 
60mph plus in a blizzard.  I'm impressed with their lack of intelligence, 
and will pull over and wait 'til they are out of sight if I can.  More 
often than not they are the ones spun out and in the ditch across the 
highway.  Imagine spinning out in snow at 60 and contacting a guard rail or 
going into a ditch, what fun! NOT!

By the by, if Guinness is the beverage, Padron is the cigar!
Both are dark, full bodied, I'd even say luxuriously strong.  I think 
drinking Guinness reactivates your appendix from vestigial status.

Snow in Ottawa? Send some down here!

Alex Maiolo brings up an interesting point:

Some Rovers of that era just seem to run better.  My brother had a '67 109 
that would run like a scalded dog.  No overdrive, plain ol' 2.25.  But I 
couldn't keep up with 'im in my '72 88" w/ OD.  And the thing wasn't 
breathing hard, either.  The Rover appeared box stock, but we didn't know 
about "taller" diffs back then.  Ran great 'til he rolled it and it got 
parted out.  Cheers

As I was reading through the repair guide recently I noted that for my 59 88
it says to use Girling clutch and brake fluid for, you guessed it, the
brakes and clutch. I am guessing this probably doesn't exist anymore, so
what should I use, brake fluid DOT 3 or what????

It's the damnedest thing...  Everytime someone says something on the   
list, those with different opinions get on their soap boxes.  I agree   
with Paul Oxley, JUST LET IT GO IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT!

Mom, always said "If you don't have something nice to say, don't say it."   
 Of course, I never followed that bit of advice...  :>

Hi Paul,

Since I'm the person who first threw the "Yank" appelation into the mix
(not to insult anyone - not even the hyper-sensitive, who are such easy
meat they're not really worth insulting - but merely as a description of
a country of origin), and who has watched in despair as the advice that
I gave, in good faith, has been flogged to death, allow me to attempt
the 'coup de grace' on this subject. I've follwed these postings quite
closely, no-one (particularly not me) mentioned "crap" in the same
sentence as "Yank".

Of the people who responded in support of the point of view that FWH's
aren't the alpha and omega, I can find only 2 who are identifiable as
being of English origin, again particularly not me!

Please lets kill this subject now. And in future lets try a little more
tolerance and a little less dogmatism (I for one subscribe to the lists
to get other opinions on a subject). And please lets leave the violins
at home.

Kind regards

They should be identical and a straight swap.  I've replaced the older 
check valves with remotes on both axles of my 109.  No problem.  I don't see
any reason the Salisbury should differ; same part right?

Thanks to everybody who wished Austria a happy millenium! I will let the 
country know. Let's all hope the next thousand years are better than the 
last, and that I manage to finish my restoration before 2996 (there was your 
LR content!)

Now if somebody could tell me how to change my signature on Eudora?

Thanks again

At great risk I ask:
So, what do people think of FWH on a Rover.......

Please, PLEASE--it's just a joke ;-)

SERIOUSLY,
I do have a question. My newly purchased '69 IIA SWB has a pair of FWH
unlike any I have ever seen. Each hub has two levers that unfold out
opposite each other to help rotate the hub into or out of engagement. In
addition, there are the remains of a blue and white sticker on one of the
hubs. There is no mention of them in the owner's manuals, US supplement,
etc. that came with the Rover.

Anyone out there familir with these?

Thanks
David

p.s. just my $0.02: my experience with FWH on two other SWB vehicles
(non-Rover) has been a noticeable change in the steering; quieter and
tighter turning radius with the FWH dis-engaged. FWIW

Click on "Window" at the top of the screen, then on the pull-down menu, on
"Signature."  That opens your signature file for editing.  Save your changes

I'm thinking of picking up some sort of CB for
my truck.  . . .  I can pick up a RadioShack (don't
laugh) portable for $30 used.  Does
that sound reasonable?

I picked up a Maxxon (sp?)hand held unit at
Walmart for less than $60 bucks.  If you want to
use it on hte highway everyday I would get a
regular installed unit or at least get an external
antannae for the handheld.  I got it just for
occasional use like you.  Mainly just to talk to
the others in my group close by or for
emergencies.  For that purpose, it works well
and you can also use it out of the vehicle if need
be.

My only problem is that, when using the cigar
adaptor, i get a whine that varies with engine
speed and makes it almost unusable.  With
batteries it works fine for what it is.

Any ideas on the whine?

Hi fellow series lovers

If when I posted my questions about free-whell hubs last, I had know
what a tirade of divergent pan-atlantic intolerance it would have
unleashed onto the more unsuspecting of our fellow subscribers, I may
have relented from asking the question. I did not realise that the
discussion of add-ons would provoke such heartfelt reactions between the
US and the UK - well as someone once said, "America and England, two
peoples seperated by a common language!"

Thanks for all the answers to this one, in the course of reading these I
have learnt a lot more about the car I have been driving for 15 years -
which is what this list is all about - let's keep it that way! Thanks!

I have twice sent dues to LROA. I have received exactly one Aluminum Workhorse.

It is only appropriate that this list shoud be a medium to warn people away
from the foolishness of sending money to this ephemeral [at best]
organiztion.

It verges on scandalous for an officer of LROA to proclaim good intentions,
with absolutely no evidence that the organization still exists.

As a two-time "paid up" member, I feel cheated out of the forty bucks that
netted me one lousy black-and-white magazine that had very little content
and less panache.

Give up, guys. LROA is dead, dead, dead as a Dalek.

If you have Eudora 3.0, it's the Signatures item under the Tools Item in
the menu bar.

>Why does a LR go better through ice and snow than comparable 4WD vehicles?

Well, first of all, there are no "comparables. ;-)  As someone who bought a 
Rover (new) 25 years ago with the express purpose of getting to the ski 
slopes *no matter what*, I've always considered the success to be based on 
the pairing of the vehicle's weight to horsepower - or lack of same.  First 
off, brute horsepower causes more problems in ice/snow driving that anything 
else.  (Yahoos is jacked-up mini pickups scare the hell outta me in the 
snow!)  Weight is nicely split between front and rear (60/40??)  Tires tend 
to be tall/narrow 7.50X16's, not the gumbo monster mudders that are absolute 
dogs in the snow.  Cheers

Outstanding!  My '72 has a mere 200,000 - just gettin' broken in.  What is 
the highest mileage anyone has heard of?

Now...about that EZBleed. I made a superior unit for less than $2.  Took a 1 
qt. garden sprayer with a broken nozzle.  Bought a brass hose barb (the 
$1.95 part) and epoxied it into a cap from an old reservoir.  18" of fuel 
line connects to the sprayer jug.  A half dozen pumps and you've got plenty 
of pressure to bleed all four wheel cylinders.  You *could* put a bottle of 
brake fluid into the sprayer if you're changing the fluid rather than merely 
bleeding the system.

 Hi Ned,

 You may be pleased to know that you are still shown on our membership rolls.
 You probably received the last AW in early February, and can expect another

 how it came to be that you paid your dues twice, and will check with our

 I respectfully disagree with your opinion of the LROA.  We do have good
 intentions, and I do have evidence that the LROA organization exists.  The
 Land-Rover Owners' Association (LROA) was incorporated as a Nonprofit Nevada
 Corporation on June 14, 1996 and is currently in good standing.

 Please note, the current Board and officers has no apologies to make.  The
 officers are entirely new from a year ago, and is trying to do its best to 
 rescue the LROA.  Although we may have inherited much ill will, we feel that
 it is counterproductive to assail the past leadership and to find fault.
 Instead, the mission of our volunteers is to build this club into the type
 of organization that best meets the needs of its membership and to focus
 on our common desire to enjoy and experience Land Rover ownership, together
 with the continued social aspects of rally's, expeditions and overland trips.

 The LROA collects dues for membership in the organization, we do not sell
 magazines.  At the last Board meeting however, we voted to extend members'
 dues status to better keep pace with some missed publication of Aluminum
 Workhorse issues.

 As to content of the AW, the magazine reflects the submission of materials
 from the membership.  We do not hire writers, artists or photographers.
 Members and clubs are encouraged to contribute materials and newsletters.
 If you would like to send us your articles, photos, technical tips, comments,
 vehicles or parts for sale or wanted, cartoons, artwork or graphic ideas,
 etc, please address them to:

I've done some business with BP with no problems except backorders. Sometimes
cheaper than RN, sometimes not. For a while it seemed like half what I
ordered was backordered. And getting two stickers 5 months later (I'd
forgotten about them) and charged for shipping was not wonderful. I'm getting

LROA as it was ten years? ago might be over, but that is because the same

getting tired of doing all of the work. Steve, Dom, Bob-n-Sue (not to
mention others, I forget the names) and especially Brad deserve a standing
ovation for all the time they put into the
organization!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Things have changed over to a new group. They have been picking up the
pieces left over from the old club and trying to re-organize things to make
it better. They are not sitting on their keisters counting the money stolen
from innocent LRO's. They are trying to set things up to be truely a
national organization. Things take time to do right!  Please sit tight and
wait patiently. Things are coming together. Soon an issue will be coming to
a mail-box near you.(as long as the address has been updated with LROA) If
you have twice sent dues, than you will still recieve the next seven issues
if I am doing my math correctly. LROA cannot get back on it's feet if
evryone keeps bitching and bad-mouthing them! Send in an article! a
classified ad, photographs of your beloved beast, stories of your local

Use Castrol GTLMA brake fluid, available at decent imported auto parts stores

So why are you guessing that DOT 4 brake fluid doesn't exist any more?  Its

I was able to log about fifteen minutes behind the wheel of a white NAS =

use in the Boston Auto Show - sorry - it's not for sale!

No surprises as far as drive and powertrain - same as an automatic =

Interior nice. New center console vast improvement over old one - =
cupholders off of transmission tunnel now. Room for CD-changer inside =
console!

Instruments nice a smooth - appear to have flat glass covers - =
calibration markings different - solid state gauge pack - speedo is =
electrically driven and has LCD odometer!!

Seating material similar to `94/`95 ragtop vinyl - grey. Tweed cloth of =
D110 and D90SW for 1995 is no more...

This particular unit had no A/C so I was unable to get a sense of the =

Just my .02 on synthetics...

I drive, daily, my 1990 ford Probe GT 110+ miles. I have used Mobil1
since Day-1. I often leave it parked for weeks at a time at Chicago's
O'Hare airport while I'm on out-of-town business, sometimes in absolutely
abominable cold. I have never had any problem starting. I change the
valve cover gasket yearly to a)avoid leaks and b) inspect the camshaft
for wear. 

In 180,000 miles of HARD driving, I have never noticed wear on the
camshaft. I have every bit of compression I ever had. There is none, and
has never been, any coking in the engine(I'm told since synthetics are
purer than conventional oils, they don't have the residual carbon
associated with distilled petroleum based oils. Traces of residual carbon
make candle flames glow, and are deposited on the inside of your engine
by conventional oils when they are heated.) 

I change the oil evey 6000 miles and change the filter every 3000 miles.
The savings in time spent changing oil are worth it to me. When I get MY
rover, later this year, I will be converting it to all synthetic fluids.
