If a company on the list in the Rover business has done something questionable and someone has a problem with them, I would prefer to know about it and make it an open forum. We heard both sides. I can now decide for myself if I wish to do business with this company in the future or not. Those who feel this was a one time problem and it would not deter them from doing business with that company can continue to do so. Those who feel that the customer was not treated fairly can keep this in mind when determining who to take their business to when the need arises. I feel it is an appropriate topic on the list.

From: wleacock@pipeline.com Date: Sun, 23 Feb 1997 09:21:13 -0500 ro John writes Someone posted recently that glow plugs are wired in series. They're not. Although they are not wired sequentially, like spark plugs, they are all fed from one source and ground through the block. If they were wired in series, current would enter the first one, then go to the second one, and so on, till grounding after leaving the last one. If one should fail and short open, all would fail to heat up. Sorry John, yuo are ""Wrong"" On a series land rover, the standard heater plugs are wired in SERIES, current passes through a resistor which drops the voltage, then into the heater in No 4 cylinder, from there to No 3 etc and finally from No 1 to ground on the cylinder head. If ANY heater plug or wire fails then the circuit is open and the system does not work. When the system fails, a trick is to keep a short lead with a couple of clips and short each plug out in turn, until you see the warning light glow, this will enable a start. It is not recommended however since this overloads the others. it has been my experience ( over 25 years with LR diesels ) that when one heater plug fails the best course of action is to replace then all with new ones, or alternatively the broken one with an old one. My practise has been to replavce them all, then keep the old ones as spares, then when the old ones have been used up start all over again. that is in the days before parallel wired heaters.

My voltmeter would show 15 volts until I was going down the highway with everything on then it would work its way to 10 volts. Yes it is a real problem & you can check it by turning on everything you can & watching the headlights when you speed up the engine. Dim lights will show up & the gage may go below 10 volts(try only at home). My problem turned out to be a loose bolt & a loose wire connecting the alt. Check everything physically connecting the charging system. Work until you see the problem go away or you find something loose. Why only two glow plugs for your LR isn't it a four cylinder? I always replace all four if I believe they have a problem. Whatch out for starting units which often put out more then 12 volts jumping your oil burner. They burnout glow plugs like flash bulbs from to much voltage. Good Luck.

Subject: Hardtop/Softop switch Date: Sun, 23 Feb 97 08:43:50 -0600 From: "Keith W. Cooper" <kwcooper@aristotle.net> I'm interested in switching out my tropical hardtop on my SIIA, for the softop. The P.O. has installed the station wagon hardtop on this vehicle which still has the tailgate and was originally a softop regular. I don't have any of the hoops or original parts to the softop. I live in the southern U.S. and don't use my rover as a daily driver, and have always liked the idea of a softop. My rover has a loud diesel and I've been told that a softop would also help reduce noise. The hardtop is a very nice one, with the sun-sheet, alpine windows (with new seals) and the original headliner and dome light. It is not the original limestone, as it was painted a ligher white (although hight quality paint job), by the P.O. In fact, it is pictured on our club pics page (can be found below through my homepage URL). I'm sure that I could sell the top to someone and use the proceeds to purchase a new softop. Is anyone out there interested in a very good tropical roof? E-mail me. Keith W.

According to him (and he rebuilds lots of engines), as long as the block isn't cracked, it can almost always be salvaged. They can drill out the old cylinder sleeve and resleeve it pretty easily.

Subject: RE:LR Heaters/Air Con
Hi All,
Eric Van Dyck says that he wants an air conditioner for georgia's
summer. Well, Eric, I want a heater that heats so wanna swop? Mine just
pushes out cold air but the sound is comforting anyway. Long Live OE?

Subject: A Rover Story (need a switch) Three years ago I was sitting in my 1969 Ser IIa watching a ligntning storm. Being bored I decided to try out the 4 way flashers which I have almost never used (just to see if they work). Well, wouldn't you know it, it went foof and the switch became a charcoal briquet. I have not been able to find a switch since then and have jury rigged it. I would like to make it right for inspection purposes as I'm planning to liscence this truck again. Does anyone know where I can get said switch? Also, the clutch is spongy and feels like it will soon need a rebuild of the hydraulic system. How about rebuild kits. Anybody know a good outlet in Northeastern U.S.A.? or Anywhere?

I have heard that some others on this list drive 55-60mph with their diesels. Allthough mine can could be driven at 55, I prefer to cruise at 50. All this is without an overdrive. I want an overdrive (badly), I think it would do that kind of speed easily BUT it is a good idea on a diesel to first fit a larger exhaust. It gives a lot more power which the overdrive will make good use of. This last paragraph does not come from experience. Its just my dreams...but I have driven a diesel with a bigger exhaust and been a passenger on another with a complete free-flow exhaust & manifold--both of them also without overdrives, though. - Iwan ( '75 SIII 88" Diesel ) ------------------------------[ <- Message 13 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970224 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

They're not. <snip> > to think that's series wiring, though. Or maybe LRs *are* different, but yes, unfortunately LR's *are* different. There is a kit you can buy with parrallel plugs, but the standard (Lucas?) ones are in series. The wire goes from a resistor on the firewall into #4, from there through all of them and from #1 to ground again somewhere--in my case to the block. Very silly, really, especially if one of them plugs decides to bail out just before you want to go to work... (real experience talking) I allways keep a spare. - Iwan ( '75 SIII 88" Diesel ) ------------------------------[ <- Message 14 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970224 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
