Hi  skburger@i1.net (Stephen K. Burger, M.D.)

In a message dated 14/06/97  02:53:42, you write:

 2.  I've been reading from time to time about a Land Rover International
 magazine.  Is this a US based magazine?  Does anyone know where an issue
 could be acquired in the St. Louis area, or if not, a number where I
 could inquire about maybe starting a subscription?

Subject: 96 Discovery - trans case area skid plate

     96 Discovery with front steering guard, need info on trans case area 
     skid plate.  
     
     Planning to have a stainless plate made for the area between the frame
     rails to cover the trans case and front of mufflers.
     
     Question is can I weld a 3" box to the frame on each rail to use as 
     the bolt on connection for the plate.  There are few bolt on locations 
     on the frame.
     
     Next quest, what is the safest way to weld to the frame, disconnect 
     battery and ground, etc.  are there any other nice to knows.
     
     Thanks
     
     Mike

We have several members from St. Louis in our club.  Let me know if you're
interested, I'll send you a copy of our newsletter due out in the next week
or two.  We've had two rallies recently.  It covers both of those.  E-mail
me directly.

In fact, a couple of the members from St. Louis are putting together our
fall rally around Montauk, in southern Missouri.

Subject: Disco Satisfaction
Date: Sat, 14 Jun 1997 10:56:17 -0700

Hi gang,

I think I might have talked my significant other into talking herself =
into getting a new Disco.  Here's how it worked.  Last year we sold her =
Pathfinder and bought a Maxima.  Since then we have moved to a small =
town in the country and adopted two dogs that we like to take with us =
when we go out.  This last fact was the key to Disco.  You see, the dogs =
are eight months old and around 90 lbs. each ( they don't fit into the =
back seat of the Maxima ).  Since I have the Rover at work each day and =
she works at home (what a commute) she wants to get a new SUV for =
herself and the Jack & Jill.

So, before I get to rapped up in the whole Disco thing I need some =
honest opinions.  For those of you who have taken the plunge and bought =
one, would you do it again, why or why not?

Thanks in advance

PS the other choice is a Pathfinder again.

Both "Borders" and "Barnes and Noble" bookstores usually carry LROi as
well as Land Rover World.

Must be different: it's a 300 TDi...and a 1994....hence the lustful

From: Adrian Redmond <channel6@post2.tele.dk>
Subject: Salisbury Axle questions

I pulled my transmission axle today to check if the castle nuts in the
drive chain were loose and could be the casue of the jumping out of 2nd
gear phenomena.

No loose castle nuts, all tight as a drum - but I did notice a measure
of backlash in the rear differential, I'd gues it was about 15 degrees -
about 8-10mm turn on the flange from turned tight against the mesh in
one direction to turned tight in the other direction.

First question - is this normal? sencond - if not - is this a problem at
all? Thirdly - could this cause gearbox to hop out of 2nd when coming
down from 3rd. Fourth - Why only when coming down to 2nd from 3rd, why
not also when going up from 1st? Fifth - why only in second?

This is a standard gearbox on a 1976 SIII 109 2,25 l diesel, with
standard salisbury rear axle. Gearbox just has a total overhaul by a
most trusted workshop (who have in fact already offered to rip it out
and find the problem free of charge). Just my curiousity - and the fact
that the workshop undertook the rebuild, but I took the box out and put
it in again, so i don't want to incur workshop time on a fault which is
caused by something I have done!

The essential question is therefore - is this problem INSIDE the
gearbox, or OUTSIDE it?

Ideas? Brainstorms? Solutions? Wild guesses?
