Subject: Fuel problems

Hello,
  My  '82 Series III (Stage I) has a fuel supply problem that maybe 
someone out there can assist me with.  I have duel fuel tanks with a 
manual switching lever located below the passenger seat (LHD).  My
problem is when I select the L/H fuel tank, the fuel pump starts to 
cavitate and the engine quickly starves from no fuel.  I strongly suspect 
the switching unit is the problem and plan to disassemble it as soon 
as I finish another maintenance project I'm currenty working on. What I 
would like to know is if there is any kind rebuild kit available for 
the switching unit (I've been unsuccessful finding one so far), and is 
there anything I need to know before I tear this thing apart (tips and 
so forth).  Also, I would like to know if maybe I'm wrong in my 
"guess-timation" of the switching unit being the culprit.  Could it be 
something else ?  
Cheers !!

Yeh, sloppy gears instead. One advantage of the chain is the ability to
remove backlash with a simple tensioner.

While in Florida I was suprised by the lack of Land Rovers. Saw one RR
on Marco Island. White 110 from Maryland, Two 90s (One HT White, One
Softtop Yellow) on Key West. Anyone from here?  All the others must have
been in Ocala for the Safari Triathlon!!!  On I95, I77 and I79 I saw
more Hummers than Land Rovers. Though these were a military convoy. One
civilian Hummer on Marco. Where are all the vehicles that LRNA sells?

Bill Leacock, you mention the various ratios available and suggest a
source is any British Car with a Smiths speedo. Do you know is the guts
of the units are a common format whereby the external form is varied for
different models ie square, elliptical, round etc but the internals can
be fitted to any casing?

Subject: Re: Engine cleaning

For whatever it's worth, a friend of mine has a 55 gallon drum
of diesel fuel sitting outside his shop.  He has a bunch of hangers
made from coathanger wire.  He simply puts parts on a hanger wire,
suspends then in the diesel fuel and leaves them there for two or 
three days.  Most all crud disolves by that time to the point where
he can brush it lightly or pressure wash it lightly.

Also, for whatever its worth, oven cleaner can be sprayed onto parts
and left for a couple or three hours.  Then simply wash.  Beware, its
tough on eyes, skin, paint, etc.  It takes everything off.

Re: testing the switching valve:

Simple quick test:

Swap the pipes between the left and right tanks on the valve - if the
problem stays with the tank (i.e.: switches sides on the valve), you need
to look elsewhere for the difficulty...

Personally, i'd take a look at the fuel line from the tank to thevalve,
figuring it might be pinched or otherwise damaged.

Howdy!
I was wondering if anybody has either of the following two items:
1. Cylinder head temperature sender fitting for dual Smiths Oil Press/Water 
Temp guage.
That is, the piece that screws into the cylinder head, that accepts the 
sender itself.
2. Any old non-functional guages that have the same size glass as the dual 
Smiths guage, (2 1/16", I think) mine has had the glass busted out.

I would guess that there's enough of these things laying around in various 
parts vehicles that could be had for a song. Anybody care to help our 
friend Mr. harding out? I'd happily trade mine up whne I swap to capillary 
guage but I do want to be able to swap back if necessary, so im going to 
keep mine.
Of course you may be able to find the dual Smiths type guage and do what I 
am doing.

I had the same problem on my Series III.   The sender has a 1/2-inch
machine screw thread (I think it's 1/2-13, but memory may be playing
me false here).  After getting a quote of $140-odd US from Rovers
North, I went to Canadian Tire to see what they had on the racks.
I saw a sender that was about the same physical size but which had
a 1/4 inch pipe thread -- Canadian tire don't list the applications on =

the package, you're supposed to go check at the counter for the
right item to use -- and was intended as a replacement for some
Ford product.  As it was only $16 (CDN), I figured it was worth a 
gamble, so I bought it.  

I rethreaded the 1/4" NPT to 1/2-13 - it's just enough oversize so you =

can do that -- and tried it out.  The gauge slowly went right up to 
the top of the scale, so I shut off and put a 500-ohm rheostat in the 
line from the sender to the gauge.  It turned out that 98 ohms in 
series with the sender produced a reading of about 45 or 50 psi on 
the gauge (more or less mid-scale).  This was about what I guessed
the pressure to be -- if you have a mechanical gauge you can sub-
stitute, or know what the pressure typically was  before the sender
went bad, you can probably make a more accurate adjustment.

I never bothered to check the resistance of the sender at working
pressure, but it's open circuit at 0 psi, which is understandable when
you cut one open to see how it works.  This means that you can't
just take an ohmmeter along to the shop and try various senders
till you find the right one.

I'm afraid I didn't keep the package the sender came in, but if anyone
is interested, next time I'm in Canadian Tire I can look the sender I 
used up in the book and see what type of Ford it is intended for.

The business of rethreading the fitting may sound a bit brutal, but
in fact the new thread was quite nice, and with a 1/2" copper gasket
is perfectly leakproof.

Total cost: $15.something for the sender, $2.95 for 2 100-ohm, 5-watt
resistors from Radio Shack (you can't just buy ONE!), and $8.79 for
a 1/2-13 die.  

Hope this helps.

I did just the opposite on the oil light sender on one of mine. The brass
banjo is set up for the half inch by thirteen sender, so I tapped it out to
quarter inch pipe and used a switch made for a VW. I have lots of those
laying around and they're very pessimistic, so they go off at something like
nine or ten PSI. For a while, I ran an inexpensive mechanical guage, screwed
right in where the sender was. For the pressure guage, I'd use a sender from
a Datsun Z or a Mitz, which has a guage range matching the one in the LRs,
and tap out the end of the bolt to the quarter inch pipe that it needs.

Subject: Progress Report

The restoration of my 1966 Series IIa 88" was well underway last July, when
I received the rebuilt engine I ordered from K Motors in England.
Unfortunately, the project was interrupted by a series of family health
crises, coupled with my becoming a member of the Board of Directors of the
Portuguese Water Dog Club of America.  Life does keep one busy.

I finally was able to surface from the familial obligations in January,
only to have my tired SAAB give up the ghost on the very morning I was to
resume the Land-Rover project.  Having breathed sufficient life into the
SAAB to keep it (and me) mobile, yesterday I reached the point of actually
starting the Land-Rover for the first time.

After sorting the 32-year old wiring harness (or bits of three, to be more
precise), I decided to risk all by connecting the battery.  I tried the
starter, and the engine cranked well at first, then the starter grunted to
a halt, and SMOKE (!!) from the engine compartment.  That turned out to be
just a loose connection at the starter switch.  

Once the fuel found its way to the carb, Ned fired right up.  This
accomplished, I decided it was safe to roll him out of the barn to install
the drive shafts.  Although rain was forecast for last night, I reasoned
that I would be able to drive him back into the barn after the drive shafts
were connected.  When my better half arrived home, I gleefully demonstrated
Ned's purring engine.  We stood there listening with delight, then he died!
 As darkness descended, I slowly winched Ned back into the barn.

Research revealed that there was no spark getting to the plugs, although I
could get a good spark by operating the points manually.  Further research
in the light of day revealed that the carefully set point gap had
diminished to zero.  Now I find that I can reset the gap, and the engine
runs well for a minute or so, only to die again.  Each time, the point gap
dwindles to nothing, although the hold down screw is tight, and there is no
apparent wear of the rubbing block where it contacts the cam.  I thought
the Prince of Darkness would make his presence known in the wiring harness,
not in my brand new distributor.  Now I'm looking for advice.  (Okay, let
me rephrase that.  Now I'm looking for constructive suggestions.)

This is a new Lucas distributor (ERC3249), the type where the moving
contact is held in place by a plastic split peg on the end of the spring,
rather than the good, old-fashioned screw.  Handy in this case, as I've
taken the offending part out several times for examination, but the means
of attachment does not instill a great deal of confidence for one who is
accustomed to the more traditional method of attachment.  Can anyone tell
me where the problem lies?  And/or can someone tell me where I can get my
original distributor rebuilt for a reasonable price (U.S.A.)?  I suppose I
could use it in a pinch, but after a quarter million miles, it does need a
little attention.

Anyway, on the bright side, today Ned moved under his own power for the
first time in almost 20 years, even if it was only a few inches in the
barn, just to see if he could really do it.

The Rochester carb is an aftermarket replacement.

According to "Know Your Land Rover" by Robert Ivins your engine is a 7:1
CR SIIA/SIII engine. Suffix F 7:1 engines were pre-'68, and originally
had Solex carbs. Is the "smog equipment" more than a PCV system?

I had it done. It is probably worth it on a new vehice coming up to 
it's first cambelt change if you are going to keep it forever. You 
wontt save any money, but you'll be immune to snapped cambelts (which 
can happpen at anything over 5k from fitting a new one!!!!!!!!!). It 
doesnt cost all that muc more than a cambelt change when you consider 
that LR have made such a ridiculous 'design' that they specify a 
cambelt change as a 4 hour job!!!!!!! The whole of the frront of the 
bloody vehicle comes off to get at the damned thing! While the 
mechanic is in three that deep, you might as well get gears 
fitted.........

The whole bill for the kit and fitting for me came to about 600 quid. 
A lot of money but OK on anew vehicle and I now have total peace of 
mind and the knowledg that the timing is set for life..... One 
caution - make sure the oilf feed from th engine is completely clear 
- theser gears dont like running with a restricted oilfeed.....

that if you use it for WWW purposes, then include a link to my page (not
too much to ask I think!).

If you need it in a different format (Corel V5, etc.) e-mail me and I'll
see what I can do.

Wes, the quickest way to tell about the gearbox is to look at the bellhousing
and slave cylinder. Is the slave cylinder on the lower left side? About five
o'clock, looking straight at the input shaft? It's a series three. The threes
also have a ribbed bellhousing.
