From: GElam30092@aol.com Date: Sat, 16 Nov 1996 13:45:04 -0500 Subject: Re: Collector/historical value My two cents worth.... I get asked all the time if I plan to restore the IIA that I recently purchased. Well, only to a point. I want a vehicle that is unique and easy to work own. I didn’t buy it to restore to showroom condition or to be displayed at car shows. From a financial viewpoint, it usually doesn’t make sense. I bought it to drive and work on. I don’t think there is a great deal of historical value in my IIA. It’s value to me is that it gives me a distraction from the realities of everyday life. It give me an outlet for energy that might otherwise be wasted. Yes, I love the vehicles, the magazines, the trips, etc but what I like are the people that participate on a global basis. It’s the same with any hobby that you put a lot of time and energy into. Years ago, I was big in to bicycle touring. I’ve ridden from Glacier National Park to Yellowstone, from north GA into the Smokies and back, from San Antonio to the hill country by way of Austin (603 miles in a week), and numerous weekend and day trips across the US. We were wearing cycling shorts and bicycle cleats before the "public" knew what they were. But I gave it up because I perceive the dangers to be greater than the rewards. My parents are big into rocks... they collect, cut, polish and travel the States in pursuit of their hobby. In fact, if you look at the group picture in the LRO that was taken in Colorado, my father is on the right side wearing a blue baseball cap. What’s he doing? Look closely... he looking at a rock he picked up. Getting to Mt Antero was the highlight for him. I guess it’s famous to rockhounds. His knowledge of rocks answered several questions that came across the CB on that trip. But, like Land Rovers and cycling, they’re the first to admit it’s not about the hobby but about the people they meet. The hobby is a means to an end and Land Rover is the "vehicle" that brings us together. The fact that we drive the world’s best 4WD has nothing to do with it... yea, right. Enough rambling. I’ll get off the soap box to make room for others. ;-) Gerry Elam PHX AZ (75 degrees today) ’63 88" SIIA ’95 Disco ------------------------------[ <- Message 5 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 961117 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

The Brits drive on the left side of the road because it is tradition.
Mark Twain had this figured out long ago when he wrote:
An Englishman is a person who does things
because they have been done before.
An American is a person who does things
because they haven't been done before.

So, the chaps on this list who insist it is not a Beatles song are right, no other Beatles played on it or wrote any of it and it was recorded (at least properly) after the Lads split up.

First it is a Right hand thread, therfore to release rotate the nut anti clockwise. There are several methods of stopping the pinion moving the simplest being application of the brakes, this however takes two The method I use is to put a 3/8" dia bolt in one of the flange holes, put a socket on the nut, then I put a pry bar beteen the bolt and the socket, this then enables one to use the floor as a torque reaction for the rotation of the socket wrench.

Date: Sat, 16 Nov 1996 20:17:08 -0500 From: "David M. Schwarz" <dschwarz@pipeline.com> Subject: Re: UK LH/RH Travel... Have any of you considered the origin of "clockwise?" I believe it relates back to Sundials in the Northern Hemisphere. With North always at twelve O'clock, local apparent noon is the time, at the sundial, at which a due south sun casts a due north shadow. The shadow is cast in the west from an easterly sun in the morning, and the shadow, as the sun moves from east to south to west, moves in a clockwise direction from west to north to east. The first mechanical clockmaker, if he intended the movement of the hands to duplicate what theretofore was only a function of the sun and the rotation of the earth, I believe designed the hands to move in the direction all were familiar with, and associated with, the advancement of time. And thus was born the convention of clock hand rotation fairly uniformly followed. Does anyone know of a clock which runs backwards. There are times I wish I could make it so, but that's another story. To those of you who couldn't care less, I apologize. David M.

From: rover@pinn.net (Alexander P. Grice)
Subject: Front diffs
Pedro (ppinheirro@ip.pt) wrote about changing the leaky 'rubber thing' on
the front propshaft. This boot really shouldn't be leaking. As it is, it
is located right under the oil filter, so that may be the source of the oil.
If there is oil/grease on the inside, then this is bad news.
The front prop shaft was *not* fitted with a grease nipple, as it was all to
easy to over-lubricate the shaft. For the rear shaft, a sudden shock to the
axle lenghtens the shaft, so there's no problem. But a similar shock to the
front will cause "hydraulising" and you're gonna blow something apart if
there is too much grease. The shaft can be disassembled for cleaning, but
be *very* careful of the toothed fiber washer that rides in the splines and
acts as a seal. This is one part that is unavailable anywhere at any price.

]Date: Sun, 17 Nov 1996 04:03:40 -0800 From: Adrian Redmond <channel6@post2.tele.dk> Subject: I did it (SII CAV diesel dist) Well I did it I posted a mail lastw eek about a SIII CAV diesel distributor, and received many replies, some advocating self-help, some warning me to leave it to a professional workshop. A quick call to my wonder mechanic Marius resulted in my taking his advice and splitting the dist.pump to repair it myself - I discovered a broken gasket between the cover of the low pressure side housing and the main block. Replacement kr.30 (5 USD) and available on stock here in Denmark. Took the trouble to clean and tidy the entire pump whilst it was off the motor - didn't venture into the high pressure department though. For those who haven't tried it, the correct calibration of the datum register "arrow" in front of the pump is weel worth it, setting the arrow to match the datum line which is engraved onto the dist-pump mounting flange, enables reinstallation without any loss of timing. the Red Land Rover 109" (which is green, another story) now runs fine, the missing max.revs governer screw, the loss of which was the cause of the trouble has been replaced, my mechanic set a locking bolt at the right position before forwarding it, and max revs checked to 4500 rpm, and tickover is set to 650 rpm. Postal calibration! Plenty of piff in the old lady yet - an easy 75 mph / 115 kph on the flat, no smoke, and good acceleration. My clothes stink of diesel, but I am a lot wiser about the fuel system than I was a week ago.
