I didnt want his SII, but called to see if he had any spars to sell which is often the case when someone bails from the "hobby" and they become a motivated seller. Another alternative is to contact someone like Famous Four in the UK who are always breaking something for spares. Considering that most LR sold in UK had a tailgate (unlike here in the US) they are plentiful and cheap. However, with shipping costs you're probably back to $100 to $150. Ya pays yer money....

The pedal is real loose....going all the way to the floorboards...and getting into gear is, well, a ginding experience. But after a while, and some hard pumping on the pedal, the thing seems to work okay. Checked the fluid level and it was okay. Could I just need to bleed the system?

If it's gone this way all of a sudden, most likely that your clutch slave
cylinder's about to pack it in, or the master is.
Bleed it. if this "fixes" the problem, then look for a wet master or slave
cylinder and rebuild it.
Seals are cheap, and the rebuild is a simple process once you get the
cylinder out.

I did this with a '71 SIIA for two years, a sort of rolling restoration. Unless youve found an exceptional deal, or the PO was a fanatic at preventative maintenance, be prepared to be busy for a while until it is whipped back into shape. Also alot yourself a budget of several thousand per year for several years. assuming that the truck is running, the frame is sound, and the transmission and transfer case OK (all BIG assumptions), just to fix those "little" things that part time users may find tolerable, but should be fixed on a full time use truck(IMHO), in rough order of importance, to whit: 1) Overhaul all brake and clutch hydraulic seals, rebuild master brake and clutch cylinders. If you are real lucky the wheel cylinders and master cylinders can be rebuilt. Most likely years of fluid with moisture in it has left them corroded.:>( 2) Closely related, repair/replace hub seals and front swivel seals. These will leak anyway, but a bad leak on your brake linings will ruin your whole day. 3) Differential pinion seals, if the old type which are leather, will leak like crazy if not used daily. Transfer case input and output seals will also leak. Ensure that all axle and transmission beathers are clean and open and keep 5 gallon buckets of 90W on hand. 4) Replace all fluids, everywhere. Grease every fitting. Look for bronze and alum. flakes in drained oil.BAD sign if its there. Budget for overhaul of offending component. 5) Replace all rubber in engine compartment:water and fuel hoses, fan belt, spark plug wires, brake vaccuum line, PVC hoses and diaphram. Full tuneup. Carb will probably need new O ring, float, and throttle shaft repalced. 6) Check running gear for wear, tie rod ends, broken springs, worn shocks etc. 7) Consider installing alternator and electronic ignition. Get a hand crank. If the engine is in decent condition it will start right up with one good crank if (when) the starter plays up. 8) While replacing the hoses (above) consider sending the radiator and heater core out to your local shop for testing and cleaning. If you are going to use it in the winter consider upgrading the heater unit to a Kodiak or Rovers North ( or even JC Whitney) heater and blower. Replace the door and vent seals to decrease the drafts. Those are just a few of the non cosmetic, keep-it-running items I can think of right off, things which I actually did to keep my old SII on the road, everyday, with a minimum of ruined office clothes (always seemed to get grease on the seat of my pants from the door catch). The curve is steep in the beginning, but after youve fixed everything...you get to start all over on your next project. Cheers. Andy Blackley PS Read everything, ask questions, join a club.

Some Land Rover people on the West coast list started complaining because their Land/Range Rovers were going to get wet. Several people took credit for the sprinkling, saying such things as "they had just waxed their Land/Range Rovers". One person in the Pacific North West who recently sold a 109 and replaced it with a Range Rover was saying how much more he was enjoying the comforts of traveling, the CD changer, leather upholstry and air conditioning. It doesn't seem that long ago that we had a long running thread on the concept of even washing a Land Rover. I remember being in the very small minority of those who advocated washing a car at least once a year (I thought it a good idea to scrape the lichens off the body and was accused of not being green enough). I'm not even sure that the concept of waxing a Land Rover was even broached. It seems like I wasn't paying a whole lot of attention as time sliped and the lists changed from old cantankerous series rigs to highly polished, plushed out but very capable off road luxury cars. No wonder I have gone from reading almost all the postings to maybe reading one in 30 or 40 postings. The Land Rover list has lost a lot of its relevancy to those of us who own old cantankerous series rigs. What ever happened to Dixon discussing the importance of having all four cylinders actually functional? Or Russell dealing with another bout of Nigles disease? Or Sandy off on some series technical discussion? Maybe I've just spent too much time sitting inside that ARB locker. Feeling increasingly less relavent in todays BMW oriented society.....

You dont have to put up with the std output and efficeincy of the V8 engine
upgrading to 4.6 is fairly cheap without any compromise and bags more mid
range torque perfect for heavy use and towing
dont confuse this with rovers 4.6 HSE complete engine as Rover (in my
opinion) spent too much money on over sofisticated engine management when
they should have spent on 16 valve heads or something else benaficial,
Anyway to cut a long story short, the 4.6 using conventional carburation or
fuel injection produces around 40 more Bhp and 15% min extra torque.
My 4.6 Range Rover will pull from 400 revs in 5th gear all the way up to
120+MPh and at constant speed driving still exceed 20mpg not bad for an
engine designed in the 60's and weighing only sligtly over 250lbs.>

Subject: Koenig PTO Winch Questions
I'm hoping that some of you with Koenig PTO winches can help me out with my
installation on my Series III. My first question is how does the drive
shaft fit between the frame and the bellhousing!? There appears to be not
enough room between the frame and the (I believe) clutch slave cylinder!
In the process of stripping the winch down for a thorough cleaning, I
have removed the right hand gear, but am unable to remove the spider.
There was an allen-head bolt that seemed to be the only thing holding it to
the drum shaft, but it still won't budge. There looks to be some sort of
pin that extends through the drum shaft, with the spider sliding onto it.
Is this the spider pin? Should the spider just come off? I'm thinking
maybe it needs to soak a little before I attempt it as the tolerances are
pretty close.
Any help is greatly appreciated!
Cheers! John

I am having difficulty with ICBC regarding my claim for a stolen Land
Rover. It is a 1973 Series 3 "88" with gas engine.
I realize it's impossible to appraise a vehicle unseen, but assuming the
following facts, please offer your best guess for:
1) possible market value range;
2) probability of locating a vehicle in similar condition;
3) probable cost for similar vehicle.
Please assume the following facts:
* new springs, pins, bushings, & shocks;
* new rear 18" of frame, including hangers;
* new master, slaves, lines, brakes, & seals, (new shoes still in box);
* new Goodrich all-terrain TA s with radial tubes & boots;
* new pleated heavy duty naugahyde seats;
* new master & slave for clutch;
* all wiring checked, mostly repaired where needed, and functioning;
* zero accidents;
* frame dead straight;
* body dead straight, zero bondo;
* 8000 lb Warren electric winch;
* oil pressure 50-55 lbs running, 25-30 lbs at slow idle, (app. 400 RPM);
* slight blow-by, would spew some oil through breather at speeds over 55
MPH, otherwise mechanically very sound;
* required complete new exaust system, some final brake work, a bit more
wiring, and new paint before collector's plates could be applied for;
* over-all condition of vehicle very good.
ICBC has the vehicle now, and can see all of this for themselves, but
appear to be a bit confused as to the pre-theft value of the vehicle.
It is likely that I will be seeking a good used engine, gas or diesel.
Should you have one available, I would appreciate a description complete
with price and date available.
Any assistance you may be able to offer would be greatly appreciated.
Thank You
Tom Hood
