" I had similar problems with my Weber and after exhaustive trials and tribulations the source was found to be excessive fuel pressure from the pump. The needle valve cannot resist the flow of fuel until the float chamber level is too high and this in turn leads to difficulty setting the idle, overflows which cause the tarry buildup on the outside, and surging especially when hot. There was major problem when starting a hot engine. I think the fuel in the float chamber was boiling causing the float to sink and flooding the engine. This would happen about 15 seconds after starting. Just enough time to pull off the gas station forecourt and into the traffic!!!. The symptoms all went away when I added a return to tank line from the carb the flow resistance in this line is sufficient to maintain an adequate deliver at the carburettor without the excess pressure that was causing the problems. Another method would be to fit a pressure regulator. I think J.C.Witless has these. At the same time I added a fuel pressure gauge. I am now running with 2-3 psi. Previously the static pressure at idle was 5 psi. The outside of the carb now stays so clean you could eat off it.

Bill McDonald Dear Bill - Whilst laying under my Land Rover the other day, trying to find the Rover Content in my mail, I too was struck by the appalling thought that maybe, just maybe, real serious, sick and uninhibited humour went out of stock with the expiration of the Series III. After all, if all I wanted was some anonymous global forum for a dubious collection of rust-scraping, rivet-picking, power-ration-quoting nerds, then ther are plenty of alternative newsgroups which would serve this purpose. Point is - I like the company here - and within as yet unchallenge limits, I don't really mind what the subject is, or what the level of LR content is. We have our cars, our old-world ideas, and our humour in common (and still intact), and that's enough for me. I've only been a member of this happy little club for eleven months, and I have seen at least eight over-heated threads - freewheel hubs, East-Coast Rover, splitting-the-list(s), Tractors, what-is-the-best-camera/stereo/shirt/microwave oven, Rover-content-contentment, non-original renovations to series I, How to unsubscribe, and now the Cat Theme to name but a few. Seems any heartfelt subject, whether solihull-content-approved or not, will inflame the hearts of some, whilst warming the cockles of others - that's life! Now I'm not one for rules - but if this "Club" had to have any rules, I would put the striving for humourous (or at least human) content at least as high on my list of priorities as Land Rover content in all its many flavours. If we just wanted to swap statistics and power-ratios. we'd probably all have bought a different car anyway. Maybe we should all meet up one day and all swap stories!

A one kroner coin fits the bill perfectly, as does a 2 kroner coin you need it a little larger - and they only cost one or two kroner apiece. The old 25 øre coins were better, and cheaper at 4 for a kroner.

Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 00:06:55 -0700 From: Adrian Redmond <channel6@post2.tele.dk> Subject: Names in general What is this obsession with manufacturers and their marketing advisors with fancy names. In the old days, we knew where we were - series 1, 2, 2a and 3, even stage one (a series III with a series IV front body and a series IIIA motor?) was in someway logical - but the Coounty, Defender and all that - seems like pandering to the customs of the saloon car market - Ford Fiasco, Hillman Revenger, Austin Andante, Fiat Flatunento, VW Gulf - and all that. Soon our Land Rovers will be like Internet Sofware - the Land Rover Defender version 4A Beta Pre-release #3 (wasn't that the series 2A?) - a sort of improvement on the previous version, more buttons (most of which don't work yet) more whistles (some of which jam the whole shambles up), more bells (most of which you don't find how to work before you upgrade. What about upgrading - in the old days of manufacturers having some responsibility for the applicationworthiness of their products, such improvements were dubbed "Replacements supplied free of charge due to faulty design and workmanship" - now the essential repairs to something which should have worked before it got onto the shelf in the shop are called upgrades - and we can all impress each other by boasting about having used our computer, our time, and our telephone line to download a free software package which, if we are lucky, will iron out some of the problems created by the previous upgrade, whilst presenting a host of new problems which may, if we're lucky, get solved by the next upgrade. And so on , ad infinitum. This marketing tendancy, which if the software world is anything to go by, is spreading like the clap, is nothing less than the Emporers New Clothes in yet another disguise, a shady crock-of-shit dealt by companies whose liquid assets would presuppose an inherent ability to get things right first time around, but whose corporate culture allows them to race ahead, expect us to pay for it, and then expect us to fill in little forms, telling them what bits don't work, whilst constructing the medium of communication in such a way, that we are educated not to expect any reply or credit for our contribution to their future liquid asset growth. It's all a sham, which any other business would have had to own up to, and avoid like the plague, at the risk of litigation commensurate with immediate bankruptcy. Can you imagine it - "Sorry that your ship sank, but the problem was in the port door software, which was actually a Beta 3 pre-release 7 version, it has now been debugged and an update will be available at this site soon." The thin end of the wedge for the LR owner is the onset of EFI and other computer controlled seven day wonders., all of which serve to make manufacture cheaper (who needs to calibrate this crap when you can build it with loose tolerances, then install kilos of unnecessary electronics to do the job for you?), whilst binding the customer to equally unnecessary and expensive service and maintenance costs. Dress the whole chabang up as a means of maximising recylcles raw-materials, minimising emissions, and saving energy, and politicians will actually legislate that this is the way of the future. Future my a**! Keep it simple. The series vehicles were OK, noisy but OK - if you want a saloon which does 29 m.p.g. seats five comfortably, and runs quiet enough to hear the stereo or other peoples horns, then buy one. Accept these tractors for what they are. Upgrades are OK, if they are well-considered - the 90/100 were, in many ways, well considered, but they were also a trend which moved away from the basics which made LR great, to a bad copy of something which all other 4WD manufacturers already offer, throwing the baby out with the bath water. Let's not be fooled by all this crap. Lets call a Stage 1 a series 3A and a defender a series 5 - call the Range Rover a Range Rover, and the Discovery a Deception. or just call me an old romantic! -- 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 43 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970429 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

That's the inlet for a west side of Atlantic installed heater. The heater itself was installed on the right side of the bulkhead, with a rectangular air distribution duct under the dash. The inlet was connected to the heater by a flexible duct which ran inside the right fender, and was supported by some brackets. This was the first of the North American heaters, though I don't know when the Kodiak name was first used, nor if the later Kodiaks were of the same design. Look carefully to the left of center on your bulkhead under dash for two holes, approximately 1" diameter. These are the holes for the round Smith's heater which was original factory equipment. In my '60 SW they are covered by a white patch. Does your SW have one or two piece doors? Are the upper window assemblies separate from the lower doors?

The japanese coins were good for that. There used to be several denominations that worked quite well. I remember seeing some Mitsubishi jeeps (WW II vintage, abandoned) with coins as flatwashers... also got screwed in as good luck amulets,apparently. Have you tried local body shops for "Fender Washers"? They help spread the load anytime I bolt/screw to aluminum panels on the rover. Since we're talking about "coins for washers": I currently bring 200 lira coins with me when returning from Italy.

There were no Series One LRs until the Series Two was introduced. Then coinciding with some significant changes the term Series IIA was introduced, and an A appended to the VIN. But they didn't become SIIB with the next set of changes and the suffix letter changing to B. And a suffix J SIIA probably has less in common with a suffix A SIIA than does a SII.

So the 1990 onwards not-LRs with the missing badges are Santana 90's & 110's? Now there's a hippy mobile to be had- the Santana Edition, complete with guitars in back and groovy paint job. Personally, I never really took to liking the Santana mods to the traditional LR way of doing lights, doors, rooves, etc. They look kinda cobbled and ARO-ish. So, I guess Stage I's (like that infamous tow-truck) are closer to Series III in form, and the 90 that came out afterwards would be the Series IV? How about we suggest they get rid of all names and go back to wheelbases, with the distinctions being in the *plush factor*. The LR lineup would then take on a form like: 100 Ultra Plush (4.6) 100 Barcalounger Deluxe (4.0) 100 Office chair (Disco) etc... down the line to 109 Flintstone Van 88 Flintstone Car; oops sorry, Heritage Flintstone Car :-) <<OK, deep breath now, and exhale, then hit delete rather that get all uppity.>> pat. 93 110 [ Now I know why they aren't yellow.

The SW is an 88",I also have a 1959 2 litre diesel 88 that seem to have originally been painted yellow inside?. The doors on the SW are 1 pc.,(welded tops to the bottoms)the diesel has 2 pc. doors.I can't see the inside of the bulkhead as the trim is covering this area at the moment.The diesel has the round you mention. Trim throughout the wagon is identical to the NADA I have,though nearly 10 years difference in age. One other interesting detail is the shape of the interior mirror which is sort of turned up at the edges (sort of like a smile)as opposed to the Series IIA style which is more oval shaped.The back door,still covered by the original trim,is missing the middle bracket that would allow installation of the spare wheel on the door. Another observation I've made is the fact that Jaeger gauges,particularly dual temp. and press,(as opposed to the Smith's)seem to hold up better to the ravages of time.The paint on any I've seen(3or 4)is not flaking off like it seems to on later models. I'm sure it didn't long for the engineers to realise the poor positioning of the heater air intake hose,exposed to the debris from the front wheel. I haven't looked at the transmission yet.

So the > 1990 onwards not-LRs with the missing badges are Santana 90's & 110's.... Actually, the later Santanas SIIIA and SIV chassises were SIIIs with the parabolic leaf springs. Otherwise its hard to say if Santana was following Solihull or vise-versa. The IIIA models in '83 had front disk brakes, and power-assisted steering was available. Santana was the first with timing belts, and developed the LT85 5-spd gearbox. Bodies gradually evolved along the directions of the 90/110, though with some unique to Santana varients. > Personally, I never really took to liking the > Santana mods to the traditional LR way of doing lights, doors, rooves, etc. > They look kinda cobbled and ARO-ish. Are you refering to the Ligero which was a civilian version of the Santana military LR? It is different. > So, I guess Stage I's (like that infamous tow-truck) are closer to Series III > in form, and the 90 that came out afterwards would be the Series IV? The Stage I was technically a Series III 109 V8. Basically it was a SIII with the RR drivetrain. Santana SIVs were developments of the SIII, not a Spanish version of the 90/110. Santana stopped LR production in 1994. (Source for most of above is "Land Rover 1948-1983, Leaf-Sprung Models" by James Taylor.)

From: "Alan Logue" <logue@a011.aone.net.au> Subject: 1997 Blinman Land Rover Jamboree Date: Tue, 29 Apr 1997 17:49:04 +0930 Well, its almost here. The 1997 Land Rover Register of South Australia Blinman Jamboree will be taking place over the long weekend in May (17 to 19). We've been and checked out the trials track and the adventure tours for the Sunday. There will be tours on tracks that will suit everyone with each one having its own highlights. The trials area will be redesigned this year to accommodate 2 trials tracks, and the big dam next to the track will assist in making on of the tracks a little more "adventuresome"! Accommodation is still available at Angorichina (shearers quarters and village), but is going fast. Camping is not a problem and can easily be done in the area outside the trials course. Saturday night will be the street party with the Blinman Hotel setting up the BBQ and beer and this is expected to run until sometime around 3am. The healthy among us will then head off to see more of the most beautiful scenery in the world around the northern Flinders Ranges. The sunsets last weekend had to be seen to be believed. Look forward to seeing as many Land Roverphiles as can make it Alan Logue President PO Box 689 Morphett Vale South Australia Phone Aust (61) 08-83844443 ------------------------------[ <- Message 61 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970429 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
