I dont have a dental pick so I used a jewelers srewdriver and gently tried to spin them - I didnt want to instigate any damage! They looked solid, but maybe I was too timid. When I look at the left bank I will try again. I used a stethescope when the noise manifested itself when the engine was hot, idle at 700-900rpm, oil p down to 10 or less. The noise was difficult to trace, but I think it was louder on the right side. I will check that side again too. Later I drove it to work and it hardly made a peep and the pressure was about the same as ever in motion, but nver dropped below 15 psi ( i also set the idle speed back up) Yesterday and today were cooler here than last week tho'.! I will inform you of further progress. Thanks. Cheers. Andy ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970707 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Date: Sun, 06 Jul 1997 10:39:55 -0700 From: Chris Dow <dow@thelen.org> Subject: (Ser 88") Cockemamey Fuel Tank Idea I was looking at the underside & rear tub of my '65 IIA 88" SW today, and thinking back on some previous fuel tank discussions here. What I was thinking is that I'd put a second fuel tank under the LH seat where I currently have a tool locker. Then instead of cutting the rear quarter panel and putting a filler there, I'd cut two new holes in the two tanks: one on the inside side towards the top and one on the inside side towards the bottom. Then the holes would be connected (top to top, bottom to bottom) by hoses. That way, I could have two fuel tanks filled by the same filler and using the same sender. I think one hose would have to run over the drive shaft and one under (of course, there would need to be all the proper stuff there to prevent the drive shaft form wearing a hole in it). Does this sound like a bad idea? Can anyone think of why I shouldn't do that?

Good idea, Dave. I also recently read the posts concerning a CB
channel for LR drivers to meet on. I was thinking at the time that,
since all LR drivers are plently intelligent enough since they
drive LR's, they should all get their HAM licence and meet on
2 meters when they meet on the road. In case many of you don't
know it, the code requirement, here in the USA, has been done
away with for the Technician Class. You just have to take a
short written test to get your licence to operate on anything
6 meters and above.

Subject: center seat storage container
Date: Sun, 6 Jul 1997 22:57:53 -0400
Hi all:
I'm looking for a storage bin to fit in the space where the center seat
cushion used to be in my S3. I've looked at the ones available in the auto
and discount stores and none of them seem to fit the bill ( too narrow, too
long, etc. ). There are some neat ones advertised in the British Land
Rover magazines, anyone know if there are similar products available here
and who the dealers might be?
Had a great time at the Downeast this year. It was nice to see some old
friends and to make a number of new ones. I've found LR people to be
friendly, outgoing and very helpful where ever I've run into them. They
are a group that I'm proud to be a part of and I'm looking forward to next
year already!

Try driving on the side of a slope with the left side down. You could run out of petrol when you still have 6 or 7 gallons left. If you place the tubes at the rear you can have 6 or 7 gallons left and run out of petrol going down hill. If you place them at the front, you have the same problem uphill. byte the bullet & put in a second filler. If you have a pattern its easy. I can show you how to modify the filler hose.

Had to drill the bodywork under the bumper but as its well out of warranty it doesn't matter...... Some of the bits had to be slightly modified so that it would go together. All in all it was a pain in the arse to fit but it works well and is rock solid over rough tracks and on the motorway at 90 too. Before I started on the rack I noticed the exhaust pipe was at a funny angle. I lifted it up and the whole rear silencer and tailpipe fell off! It was rusted through where the rearmost exhaust mount is. Now it sounds great and it gives me an excuse to go for a big stainless system....
