Aeroengines are designed to sit there and run at full power all day - they develop diddly for power at low RPMs. Not a good idea for something designed to mud-slog, I would think... Yes, it could be done, but a Lycoming or some equivalent air-cooled little jobbie would be quite unhappy in an LR's engine bay - no airflow. I do remember seeing VW air-cooled engines adapted to run in small airplanes, though. You'd remove the distributor and drop in a magneto, and the engine was started by hand-propping.

Date: Fri, 28 Feb 97 16:22:59 UT From: "David Lee" <DJFLee@msn.com> Subject: 109 2.25 Diesel disaster Ahhh! My SIII 109 diesel daily driver has just felt it's age. Happily pottering along at 50mph, the engine note changes, the rear-view mirror fills with smoke and when I pull over and shut off the engine, she keeps running for about 10 secs. When after a quick prayer, I start her again all seems well. She runs fine for about 2 miles then the same again. It took 6 miles to limp home. Hopefully I didn't do too much damage! Clearly oil is getting into the combustion chamber causing the smoke and the self-sustaining engine. I suspect either a catastrophic piston ring failure or as she has not burnt oil in the past, something more drastic in the cracked piston league. I intend pulling off the head this weekend to inspect the damage, and have some questions that the more mechanically experienced may be able to help with. Firstly, does anyone recognize the symptoms and can you give a better diagnosis? Sadly I don't have access to a compression tester suitable for a diesel engine. Secondly, if I replace the pistons, can I just replace the skirt or will I have to replace the gudgeon pins, bearings etc.? Finally, will I be able to do this with the engine in place, or am I likely to have to have the bores honed? I hope not, I have my first child on the way and need all the cash I can get. Many thanks in advance.

Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 13:32:30 -0500 From: "Adams, Bill" <badams@usia.gov> Subject: Re: 109 2.25 Diesel disaster A sudden and dramatic change in engine performance like this may be the result of an intake valve letting go. This would allow a free flow of lubricating oil into the combustion chamber which would explain it running on. Since you were able to drive it, it seems that the valve may have broken in a way that keeps it from falling into the combustion chamber, indeed it must still be functioning somewhat as it provides enough compression on the upstroke to keep running. I think the damage is going to be minimal and that you'll simply need a new valve and guide. You should be able to do this yourself, or for small outlay to a local repair shop. In the event that the piston top is trashed (hotspots can form on scratched metal, causing false ignition) it can be replaced with the engine in the truck. Pull off the sump and remove the connecting rod cap and push the offending piston up through it's bore. Hire a ring compressor. Replacement is simply a reversal, but be sure the rod is oriented properly. It's going to be a long weekend.

From: "neil warburton" <neilwarburton@enterprise.net> Subject: Landy stuff Date: Fri, 28 Feb 1997 17:42:54 -0000 Hi All. Well I just thought I would write and tell you about the latest on my Landy.In the last month she has been treated to a new clutch rear half shafts front prop shaft and a new silencer box.I get the feeling that the 3.0L Ford V6 that lurkes under her bonnet could have been the reason for the demise of the drive train parts :). Sadly I have had to put her up for sale.This is not any fault of hers but after having one of my knee caps removed (caused by my old job) I find it painful to drive her any distance due to the pressure required to apply the brakes and also banging the said knee on the steering column.I am 6' 2" tall and there ain't any more room to move the seat back well not without cuting the bulkhead out :). Don't dispare though.When my compesation claim finaly comes through there will be a nice Defender sat on the drive. Two reasons for this one the brakes don't need as much pressure and secondly I have one of the new storm engines on the way.Storm I hear you ask.Yep there is a new Land Rover diesel engine under develpment.It is a 5 cyl TDI which gives the same BHP and more torque than the petrol V8 fitted now.Oh yes plus it will be cheaper than running on petrol. I have one comment to make.I have noticed a thread about how Land Rover dosen't seem to care about the US market!!!! I can't agree.I whish we could get US spec Defenders here in the UK The standard spec is far higher than those built for the home market.

My 109" had the same problem three months ago - a curious and sudden scent of diesel in the cab - open the bonnet and voila! a complete diesel-bidet - spraying fuel out of an apparant hole in the casting of the pump. Stop car - clean pump body, and you can see that it could be a leaky gasket on the small box which faces the air-filter - with the speed control and stop valves on the side. The pump has to be removed (it's easier this way) - before removing distributor pump - check that the timing datum is lined up with the fine line which is stamped on the flange (the datum is a metal pointer which is fixed to the motor block - if it's correctly lined up, you can easily refit the dist--pump without re-timing.) Remove the valve arms from the box-cover. Be careful not to adjust the tick-over and max-revs screws (tick-over 750 rpm, max rpm 4250 for the 4 cylinder 2,25 diesel Series III). The gasket is easy to change, and is cheap - clean up, reassemble, and good luck. It's really simple if your problem is as described above - this is only on the low pressure side of the dist-pump. you can dismantle the top of the pump to clean it, but avoid dismantling the high pressure side - the main body of the "bottle" - this I am told should only be done by workshops who have the correct tools with which to calibrate the pump. Very important - keep everything very clean while you are working - no muck in the pump! Before starting just bleed the high and low pressure sides using the manual arm on the fuel pump. Good luck - hope this helps! -- Adrian Redmond --------------------------------------------------- CHANNEL 6 TELEVISION DENMARK (Adrian Redmond) Foerlevvej 6 Mesing DK-8660 Skanderborg Denmark --------------------------------------------------- telephone (office) +45 86 57 22 66 telephone (home) +45 86 57 22 64 telefacsimile / data +45 76 57 24 46 mobile GSM (EFP unit) +45 40 74 75 64 mobile GSM (admin) +45 40 50 22 66 mobile NMT +45 30 86 75 66 e-mail channel6@post2.tele.dk HoTMaiL (www.e-mail) channel6denmark@hotmail.com --------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------[ <- Message 22 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970301 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

New frame, new axles, disc brakes all around and coil springs. This truck is one that I got this summer from the orig. owner ( a neighbor of mine ) and it has a grand total of 7460 miles on it. So, mech. it's like new, but the frame is full of holes and the springs are shot. I have three other LRs and I could make good use of the parts that came off. It wouldn't be origional, But.

Has anyone had experience temporaly exporting a car from the US to the UK? I assume you need a carnet. I was toying with the idea of having The Green Rover at the '98 Billing meet. It would be more fun to bring in a car with California plates than camping at a car met without a car. I get the impression that shipping costs would not be too bad. Anyone did it?

Just buy a used Series III-88 and fix whatever needs fixing. Even if you have to do a fair amount of work on it, it will still cost you a lot less than any of the current US-spec Land Rover products. _________________________ C.

Before performing any major surgery on your 109 check fuel system. I have had simaliar symptoms with my MB 240 diesel. I checked everything I could think of and took it the dealer with the same result. Then one morning it wouldn't fire at all; it cranked fine and glow plugs glowed but no combustion. The pump primer was very hard to push. I had algae throughout the system, the inline filter was completely clogged as was the pickup in the fuel tank. Apparently it also effected the injector pump's timing causing the loss of power and spewing of sooty smoke, and can also account for your shutdown delay. I'd start with a complete cleaning of the entire fuel system saving the tank for last. Skip the tank if you don't find any problem elsewhere. If that isn't your problem you can still go to surgery but with I nice clean fuel system. It's cheap and easy, only takes time. Hope this helps. ------------------------------[ <- Message 35 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970301 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
