Subject: Re: Charging Problems Date: Thu, 3 Apr 97 07:23:43 -0600 From: "Keith W. Cooper" <kwcooper@aristotle.net> Thanks for the replies regarding my dynamo/regulator problems. I did take the dynamo in to the shop that recently rebuilt it and it was burned up. It wouldn't generate when hooked up to the tester and the solder had melted around the coil. I also took in the voltage regulator to be tested to see if this is the culprit. I should find out today. My theory so far is that somehow there was/is a loop in the system that pulled everything it could out of the dynamo and thus burning it up. It could either be from the way I have rewired the new wiring harness, a faulty regulator or a malfuntioning dynamo. A manual that I have describes that "when the dynamo is run at high speeds on an open circuit, a high voltage builds up." Now I just need to find what is causing the circuit to remain open, and as I understand it, its the regulator's job to open and close the circuit? Thanks for the help as the plot thickens.

Date: Thu, 3 Apr 1997 07:54:31 -0700 From: jimallen@onlinecol.com (Jim Allen) Subject: ATF alternatives for manual. The BG Company, of Wicheta, Kansas, makes a product called "Syncro-Shift" to replace light oils in manual transmissions and transfer cases. The problem with ATF and motor oils in gearboxes is that they lack shear strength compared to gear oil. The Syncro Shift is a light weight oil that has the shear qualities of gear oil and a very high resistance to heat. I discovered this as an answer to the Range Rover Borg-Warner t-cases burning up their ATF in just 15,000 miles (turning the fluid black - these 'cases get very hot, hence the transfer case overheat warning light). I then tried it in LT-77s and other manuals that use light oils with good results. The transfer gearbox problem was solved. The BG handled the heat better and I suspect the 'case ran cooler as well. In the LT-77s & LT-95s, customers reported quieter operation and smoother shifts. Should work great in the later 380 gearbox as well. As far as finding BG products, many auto parts stores (not usually the big chains) and dealerships may have it. Otherwise call Wicheta, Kansas phone directory info for the number. They can either sell it by mail or send you to the nearest dealer.

Finally I found it all & the engine hood of sIII in a garbage pile. I'm looking for someone to do the bodywork & paint. No one wants to do it as soon as they realise "it's made from aluminium !?!?" Still looking... Now I'm going to send all that needs galvanization after I finish cleaning all the paint & rust. Which is what I do most of the time since I started. Is the end near ? I hope to put it all together soon. I found sI LWB in someone's backyard. It looks very original . The man says that it only needs oil (I knew that ...) .I was very tempted to buy it because in Israel SWB is considered a "private" car & LWB is considered a "work" car. That means that you can place a Diesel engine only in LWB , that applies also to j**p! He asked for 2,000$ on it. I just can't deal with another one right now...

I don't use the socket yet, but would like to keep it. The PO of my S/W solved a similar problem by moving the step that helps you climb into the rear from dead center (where it should be) to the left, where it clears the towing bracket and actually is also more "organic" since one tends to open the rear door only partly and then enters not parallel to the vehicle's axis, but at a 30 to 45 degree angle, so the step is exactly where you need it.

The truth is, I don't know. Having been in the antique car & motorcycle hobby for many years, I have my ear to the ground for these sorts of shenanigans pretty closely. I saw no notice of any sort in any publication. Could be somewhere in these stacks & heaps of unread or partially read magazines laying around my office, however. My first notice was after I had made out my check to not register my Norton. As I was tossing the dross into the trash, I noticed an innocent looking mailer insert, and something in it caught my eye. This was Tuesday, last. Speaking of not registering my Norton, does anybody remember the letter someone supposedly sent to the government a few years ago, inquiring about getting into the not raising hogs business? (farm price supports) The writer asked many questions like; how much does the government pay for each hog not raised; what sort of hogs he should not raise; what geographic area was best to not raise them; what feed should he not feed them, etc. Perhaps we could get some politicians to privatize the DMV's not registering motor vehicles business. I would certainly like to get into the not registering motor vehicles business. I could cut the DMV's rates, offer faster service, and I would take your money for doing nothing with a smile.

According to the April issue of CAR, Rover Cars, will make its return to the USA the end of this decade/early next decade. The Pres. of BMW also admited that the Rover Group made a mistake for designing the LR Freelander(CB40) & MGF for only European markets. All new cars & LR will be designed for all major world markets, including th US.

Can we expect Rover to start designing it cars for the US, at the expense of cars like the MGF for Europe??? Anyway, I would have thought they would have liked the CB40 "out there" Cheers Richard Lucking ------------------------------[ <- Message 61 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970404 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I have reduced them in size (they are only about 15k each) so that old, slow modems don't hold you up. On the Offroad.html page there are a couple showing what the EASYLIFT does, in case you ever wondered. If you would like larger versions of the image files, just say so. David G.

Because its sounds like Ford's propaganda regarding the Mondeo? Mass global market car designs might seem like good sense at first, but it will lead to bland cars. Also, different markets will have contradicting design tastes. full stop. global market designs also lose style. Lets face it traditional Land Rovers *ooze* (literally) style. So do some American cars. Mondeo? Nope, I don't think so. > Can we expect Rover to start designing it cars for the US, at the expense of cars like the MGF for Europe??? The MGF is doing very well in the UK from what I hear. Someone at work is thinking of getting one. The waiting list is so long that nearly-new vehicles cost virtually the same as new ones. If they're selling like hotcakes, and making money, what's wrong? They'll pick up a few sales in foreign markets, but parallel car designs designed for those markets will sell a few here too! (Of course waiting lists could be due to the "Morgan philosophy"!)
