Subject: Defender  doors

Rob davis writes re will 90/110 doos fit a ser 2/3.
 The door openings are the same, dependant upon the year of manufacture of
the door the door handle needs a little modification, or more precisely the
catch for the door. You  need to fit the anti burst type lock parts.   I
bought a pair of 90 doors for my ser 3, but as yet ( 2 years later )  I have
not got round to fitting them, thought they would be better for the winter,
but I put the LR away for the winter and in the summer ? ( the other two
months a year ? ) it is nice to take the tops off. perhaps they will go on
our restoration project.

Subject: Re: Series IIa 109 Ambulance

Marshals of Cambridge ambulances are great. They have a lot of features that
recommend them as campers. They are the only series rovers with front and
rear anti-roll bars fitted as standard. All have dual tanks and most have two
heaters. The standard springs are replaced with springs of a lower rate but
the same or greater load rating for a softer ride, it wouldn't do to bounce
the poor "victims" off the roof too often. :-) The rear body is aluminum on
the outside with insulation covered with hardboard on the inside. As standard
there is only a small window between the "cab" and the rear body BUT it is
possible to cut a "walk through" into the back. It is simple to replace the
upper stretchers with fold down bunks using the already existing hardware. I
have driven various ambulances hundreds of miles and they can be a little
slower than a standard 109. They probably weigh about 200 lb. more than a
standard 109 and of course the have greater wind resistance. Still the one I
have at the moment will do 60 on the flat with a minimum of fuss, and this
without an overdrive. 
E-mail me directly for more info.  I have had 5 of the "little" beasties and
they are one of my favorites.

Subject: Towing

 Eric van Dyke writes :-  
 I've been considering using a tow bar attached to the front bumper of my
'73 Series III 88" to tow the truck behind my Volvo. 
  
 Be careful, the attachment of the front bumper to the frame is by 4 off
3/8" dia bolts thro the chassis ends.
 This area is particularly prone to corrosion and the attachment was never
intended for towing.
 If you wish to follow this route I would suggest that you beef up this area
by adding a beam between the front chassis legs, tied back to the front
crossmember and then tow off this. ( providing you do not have a winch
fitted ) This could also be used for an attachment for use with the kinetic
energy recovery technique. Also if you damage the bumper whilst off roading
you need not worry about your loss of towing point. If you have a winch
fitted then the area should have been beefed up any way. 
  As far as connecting the tow bar to the towing vehicle the difference in
towing height can easily be accomodated by a crank  in the bars. Use pin
joints at the LR ( for up and down movement only )

Subject: Ambulance

Henry stinson writes with some questions  re the ser 2 ambulanve.

  These vehicles are heavier due to the additional bodywork, they have a
stiffer suspension and are fitted with anti roll bars. The rear body is
aluminum and they make excellent campers. The off road ability is impaired
by, 1 the added weight, 2 the stiffer suspension and anti roll bars , 3 the
increased size of the body, 4 the rear departure angle is terrible due to
the extended body, this has been angled to reduce the effects but it makes
the  109 worse than normal ( which is very poor compared to an 88 ) 
 They are good for unmade roads but not for serious off road work.
 Usually when they come out of service they do not have many miles on the
odometer and have not been battered by off road work so they are generally a
good buy direct. Generally they have been kept longer because of the low
miles and therefore there are some very good examples of ser 2a available.
They can easily be converted to standard 109 pick up or sw by the
replacement of the rear body. A good way to do a frameover !!

Subject: Re: 109 2.25 Diesel disaster

Firstly, thank you to everyone who responded to my request for advice 
regarding my recent engine problems.
Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you but appalling weather in 
Scotland last weekend stopped me working on the patient and it was only today 
that I've been able to remove the head, and now sump.

The problem as I feared was a cracked piston. The valves themselves appear 
fine - though I'll regrind them in anyway. As I have to replace a complete 
piston skirt I assume that I should replace all of them to maintain balance, 
or can I just renew the rings on the unaffected ones?

The main bearings were slightly scored, oil contaminants? so I'll change those 
too.

My biggest problem has been the 3 studs holding the exhaust to the manifold. 2 
came off easily but one I had to saw through. Any top tips for easy ways of 
drilling out the remaining stub? Can you get stainless studs to avoid the 
problem in the future?

Thanks for all your help

Glad to hear the good news Nate! Also it's good to know that others have
the same problem with allocating the spouse/landrover timeshare
allocation!

Trouble is - it's impossible to justify in rational economic terms - you
know - if I spend a fortune on tools I can save on workshop costs... if
I pull the LR apart once (or twice) a year, it will keep "forever" - in
fact, I'd be the first to admit that this hobby means more workshop
costs, more money spent on tools, and probably a more expensive car -
but then, seeing what some people have to pay to keep one or two new or
relativly new saloons on the road, I'm not sure. Anyway, I gave up
trying to justify landrovermania on economic grounds years ago - I now
admit, that it's a hobby, and I'm addicted and proud of it.

Glad to hear you are keeping the Blue brick, I know how much work you
have put into her, and it's "best" that you get the benefit of all that
slogging, and not some lucky purchaser.

Stay around Nate!

David,
        I always just use steel studs.  Stainless has a way of seizing
up in anything you put it into.  Just use the regular steel studs, but
before you put them in, coat them liberly with "Anti-Sieze" lubricate.
It is available at any parts store and comes in a tube like toothpaste.
It is the color of aluminum paint, but in a paste form.  Liberly apply
to the threads and next time they will screw right out.  I believe the
tube I have is made by Permatex.

Well that would make sense. Dixon once noticed a picture of my Land
Rover and remarked tht it looked from the rear like it was low.  He also
wondered how I got into my garage with the safari rack on.  Maybe that
is the answer.  I never considered this when I did the springs.  The
safari rack is off for the winter because it collects a terrible amount
of snow. This year it could have had five feet or more.  Icing on the

This message was prompted by a comment by Kevin Kelly's comment:

"Cristy Brinkley and Billy Joel in their Canadian D110 (it is for sale
this month for $60,000)"

Just to amaze/shock you with the prices we pay, here are the current
prices for Landies & Rangies in Australia.  Perhaps our defenders are
cheaper?

On top of these prices are probably the dealer delivery charges.
Most dealers (all brands) charge between $600-1000 extra in charges
for them to wash the car and get it registered.  I really don't
know what the dealer deliver charge is for.  Also on top of this
there is the State duty to pay.  I am not sure how much this is -
I think it's around $2.80 per $100 of vehicle cost - say $1,400 for
a $50,000 vehicle.

Defender 110 cab chassis diesel         A$36,640  US$28,580
Defender 130 cab chassis diesel         A$39,640  US$30,920

Hello Bob.
90/110 Doors and Door tops fitt perfectly to series II and III door openings.
I have 110 tops with all alluminium frame and double sliding glass on my
Lightweight/Range-Rover hybrid. The best bit is no more rusty glass runners.
I prefer the sliding glass as it reduces the amount of branches/brush etc
that flicks in through an open window whilst driving in tight bushes.
Several members of the club I belong to have fitted complete 90/110 doors to
take advantage of the winding windows and yes you do have to alter the latch
and hinges but the 90/110 types fitt series II & III door frames without too
much trouble. If you go for this modification fitt the 90/110 door seal as
well ( you just have to grind off the small return lip ffrom the old seal
retainer and the new one piece seal slips straight on ) you sure will notice
a diference in the draughts. Incidentally this is a good modification even
with the old doors. 

Have fun.

If you compare the same vehicle, autos are much more expensive in 
Australia than in the US.  Fuel is also more expensive.  Several years 
ago I visited a few dealerships in Melbourne and was checking prices.  
A LC that could be purchased in the US for about $35K cost $80-90KAus 
(conversion may have been .75 at the time).  (BTW, LC in US only come one 
way -- fully equipped -- sim to the Sahara version as I recall.) 

As you have already pointed out, RR and Discovery prices are much higher. 
I also recall that the basic Discovery available in Australia came with a 
lot less features than available in the US base model. (I think I may 
still have my brochures from Australia.)

As for the Defender, it is not possible to do a direct price comparison 
between the NAS D110 and any other non-US D110.  LRNA only imported 525 
D110 and so from an accounting standpoint did not spread the cost of the 
US only equipment over sufficient vehicles to keep the price where it 
probably should be.  Aside from installing the RR engine, etc., LRNA also 
chose to add some expensive features such as the external roll cage.  The 
cage apparently had to be integrated into the manufacturing process.  I 
spoke to someone from the UK who tried to order the same safety Devices 
cage for his (he ordered his D110tdi from the factory and got all kinds of 
goodies) but couldn't get it.  He then tried to get it added on separately 
but the cost was astronomical.

Anyway, after copmparing prices in Australia I remember thinking the LC 
was a BARGAIN in the US.  How do people in Australia manage to buy those 
vehicles (the loaded ones -- I know the base price was about $40kAus)!  I 
saw lots of them around.

Another point, the top of the line LC and RR cost about the same in 
Australia.  Yet, in the US, the LC was about $10K cheaper.  Are taxes for 
UK vehicles higher in Australia?  Or, does Toyota for tactical reasons 
keep their prices lower in the US?

Hi Nate,
The distributor/gear must be removed and the drive shaft to the oil pump ( I

The "list" Chris refers to, I think, is the list we are all subscibed to

Hi BW,
 It seems that the US cars in the 40's & 50's used zinc washers with the
fender bolts & other body mount points.  The idea was that they would
prevent rust by "fading away".  It is claimed that this is why the older
cars seemed to rattle with age. ZInc bars were also used as sacrificual
anods(spelling???)

?????? I think that the original post was something like this:

"Please send me the info for subscribing to this list. I hava friend here
who wants to subscribe and for the life of me I cannot remember how to
do it."

The "list" Chris refers to, I think, is the list we are all subscibed to
(land-rover-owner or lro-digest), and not the LRO magazine that someone
wishes we would all be subscribed to...

The command, sent in the body of the text, should be:
 "subscribe land-rover-owner" or subscribe lro-digest" and the message
should be sent to <Majordomo@Land-Rover.Team.Net>. Don't put anything in the
subject line.

Subject: Flooding in the US

Hi All,
 I have been wondering if any of out list has been able to help during
the flooding we are experiencing.  DID we loose anyone to the flooding?
I keep seeing the flooding on the news reports & wondered if any 4
wheelers have been able to help out. 
 One of the reports I saw told about a ford 4x4 who helped save two cars
full of people in flood waters.

Does anyone have a slightly abused Series III looking for a new home? I
live in the Montréal area and would consider anything within a day's
drive from here. It doesn't have to be pretty, just have a solid frame
and an engine that runs OK.

Hm! If is that old it's just a 110 not a Defender. The name Defender first
appeared when the launched the Disco in the early '90s.

Just because I don't like Brumml to be called a Defender,       ;-)

Simon,

	where is it, when is it, what occurs there etc. If it involves camping out
in a field under the sun in a field full of Landies for a couple of days,
returning home with half a ton of new "spares" and other assorted junk,
count me in.

Date: Mon, 10 Mar 1997 11:51:00 +0100 (MET)

Just in case anyone is interested:
I just got a fax from Automatic Conversions in GB that they will
bring out a new edition of their adapter. It will mate a LT77 5-speed
gearbox to a Series IIA/III transferbox. Launch is to be expected 
in 6-8 weeks and will be advertised in LRO.

Usual disclaimers valid.

Keep the oily side down,
Franz
