Don't drive for a long distance! If the halfshaft broke on the inner end
(90%, since it's not so easy to reach) parts my fall into the diff and
you will need a new diff also.

I broke the layshaft while in holidays with the family in the Alps. I only
had 4th (High and low) and 330 km to drive home. 
I don't like to drive without reverse! 
I now replaced the layshaft and all bearings accessible from the front end.
Next time I will buy a reconditioned gearbox from GB!

Subject: TIRES

Dave: I actaully cant help you on the Trac Edge, but I recently put 225/85-16
Dunlop Radial Rover RTs on my truck. They look very similar to Trac Edge. ie
heavy lugs on the outer edges, closer tread inside. They are sold as a
"commercial" grade tire, rather than standard SUV fare. I paid $535 for four,
mounted, balanced, taxes etc at the local discount tire store. I really like
them. They are as quiet as the old 244 M+S, handle as well, and should be
much better in the muck. Havent had a chance for seroius off roading yet.
PS I found your posting on the Majors "Hourly Update" which in now a week
old. The LRO list appears to down for a while. Anyone else out there (on the
LRO list) seen the Major lately?
Cheers. Andy Blackley

Subject: want to buy a '87 - '90 Range Rover

I am looking to buy a a '87 - '90 Range Rover and need some guidance.  I
live in Oklahoma, but have heard that Southwest Rover in San Antonio, Texas
has good-quality, reasonably-priced Rovers - any thoughts on this?

As this is my first Land Rover, is there anything I need to look out for?  I
appreciate any help this list might offer.

Subject: Looking for 109 in eastern Canada

Hello,

I'm looking for a early IIA 109 SW (headlights in grill) in driveable
condition. I'm in Nova Scotia Canada but will travel for a good deal.
I'm willing to do a "frame up" but would like to be able to drive it
home.

Thanks

Dixon, thanks for the info. regarding the net.
 
to the net. I have located the bearins for my Warn Locking Hubs at
(info@warn.com). I know all the pros and cons of the hubs, but they came on
the Landy when purchased in 1971 and I'll just be leaving them locked most
of the time, TA.

Subject: Why can't I bleed my clutch?

Hello all,

During my holiday in France two weeks ago clutch fluid started dripping from
the pedal onto the floor. It was no big deal. We only had to top it up once
(and it was the only thing going wrong on a 3500 km trip, so moral didn't
suffer).
Two days ago I put some new seals in the clutch master-cilinder.
It was no wonder why the thing was leaking. I found sand in the reservoir!
Everything went like it should, but some fluid leaked out of the tube going
up from the cilinder when I had things apart. 
So I guess that leaves me with air in the uppermost part of the system, and
whatever I try to bleed it, nothing works. I tried slow pumping, fast
pumping with and without closing the valve on the return-stroke. I even used
an injector to push fluid up from the bleedvalve. I did manage to get fluid
in from the bottom, but the sponginess didn't go away. Half the pedal troke
is pumping air.
Please tell me, what is the trick, besides laying the rover on its right side?

Thanks for any input.

Hello Peter;
   
   I don't think your gonna find a 109 in these parts, not in driveable 
cond., or actually anything else i think! The last 109 I had I sold to a 
fellow in Halifax. I do have a 109 military frame in lovely shape that 
awaits the body to be put on. It's the last one around. Let me know where 
you are and maybe I can be of some help. Phone # would be great!

1997 River City Rally-August 30-31

	You are cordially invited to join members of the Downeast Land
Rover Club for a two day club event August 30-31.   The base for the
weekend's activities will be Bangor, Maine.  Please find a schedule of
events below.

Saturday:  Leaving from Bangor at 08:30 from in front of the Paul Bunyon
statue downtown, we will be exploring some old logging roads and trails in
Township 39 MD.  This is  an unorganized township northeast of Old Town and
about 45 minutes from Bangor.  The off-road trails will be non-damaging if
driven with care, and participation in the event is at your own personal
risk, and risk to your property.  Proof of current inspection and insurance
will be required.  We adhere to the principles of responsible off-road use
as outlined by the Tread Lightly organization.  After off-roading, we will
meet to have a barbeque lunch at Brandy Pond.  Folks can choose to off-road
in the afternoon, or head back into town for shopping, etc.  Saturday
night, we'll be gathering for dinner at the Sea Dog Brewery restaurant in
Bangor for dinner at 19:00.

Sunday, 10:00A.M.-15:30:  This will be a static display day at the Cole
Land Transportation Museum in Bangor.  This wonderful museum has a large
collection of snow removal equipment, trains, fire, and military vehicles.
There will be time to browse the museum, as well as make new acquaintances!

Lodging:  There are a variety of hotels, motels, and campgrounds in the
Bangor area.  The enclosed Bangor Area Chamber of Commerce publication
contains phone numbers for most providers of lodging in the area.  Please
see our web site at http://www.agate.net/~rovah/ for links to Bangor area
lodging and attractions.

Cost:  Lunch on Saturday is either the barbeque($5 for members,  $7 for
non-members) or bring your own.  There is no fee for any other activities
over the weekend.

Safety:  We recommend that those participating in the off-road event on
Saturday have  at least basic self-recovery equipment.  There is a Air
National Guard Medivac site in T39 near our area of activity in case of
severe medical emergency.  Vehicles should be checked prior to entering the
woods.  Please feel free to contact me at 207-947-2114 with any questions.

Cheers!  John Cassidy, Downeast Land Rover Club
