From: AKBLACKLEY@aol.com Date: Wed, 23 Jul 1997 11:15:43 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Series no start Dave: If youre sure that all other connections are good then Id bet that the points are grounded somehow. Lucas points seem to be vunerable to this. Carefully check the way the points are assembled on the post on the distributor plate. They must be insulated by the little plastic washers. Also check that the spring (long thin metal) is not rubbing against something. A "Click and Clack" tip: in the dark with the cap off observe the points as a lovely assistant cranks the motor. If there is no spark then the coil or condensor bad (can only be cured by swapping for good parts) or the points are grounded. Or not possibly not grounded properly. There is also a little copper ground strap from the point base to the distributor base. It needs to be in good condition too. If there is spark, and its not getting down to the plugs then replace the cap, the wires (unlikely they'd all be bad). Cheers.

Date: Wed, 23 Jul 1997 22:22:34 +0200 From: Adrian Redmond <channel6@post2.tele.dk> Subject: habitual reviving of intended donor vehicles [digester: Removing section of: Content-Type: multipart/mixed; boundary="------------6925BA63AAA56EF6FA0D0956" ] Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Great to see the eu-lro springing to life - I've been subscribed to this for a year and have wondered why there are not many postings from this side of the pond. For those of you who don't know me, here's some info - Adrian Redmond, 41 yrs old, English but married and living in Denmark, I run my own television and film production company, and have done for the last 17 years, 15 years of which i am proud to say have been hopelessly linked to rovering. I have three rovers (the third one arrived today!) - Series III 1979 88" 2,25 diesel hardtop (Icelander) Series III 1976 109" 2,25 diesel hardtop (sometimes pickup) Series III 1972 88" 2,25 diesel hardtop (maybe a pickup) Out of curiousity, I'd love to hear how many other lro's have aqquired their second/third/fourth LR by assuring the spouse that "I'm only buying it for spares" - I must confess to the tactic - I have just bought a 1972 88" SIII (horrible silver colour) for the gearbox and spare motor, both of which work without problems - because the other 88" needs a total rebuild on the box to handle daily driving by those in the family not aquainted with double-declutching - the syncro is smashed and a total rebuiild will actually cost more than a donor truck. So I am in the process of swapping gearboxes. (how many can be swapped in a day?). Well i got her home, washed her underneath just to see what shape she's in before removing said gearbox - shipfitters disease strikes quickly, by evening I had stripped the frame around the box, and the tank, and decided "I may as well rust pait it under there whilst the box is out. The motor chamber is fine, no rust, no oily squirts, and nothing seems missing - i suspect the fuel system needs bleeding, but other than that, I have got myself a complete wagon for less than a gearbox rebuild. The top is in good shape, andf as a plus has the 2 part "hatchback" rear door with wipermotor fitted. The manifold and exhaust is interesting - instead of the downpipe arrangement which I am used to - the pipe dissappears through the wing, then under the car - is this a usual early SIII arrangement? And there is no servo on the brakes and no servo reservoir up front - is this typical for the vintage? Front springs ok - rear springs "somewhat knackered" and a few rust spots on the frame aft of the cabin. Rear cross member totally shot. A half or quarter frameover will solve that, plus a set of springs and in no time, my "spares donor" regular driver. But then I'll have to find a cheap gearbox to replace the on that I am swapping into it - but then a donor truck may be cheaper than a rebuild - and so on - ad infinitum. (Does anyone recognise the symptoms?) All in all, not a bad day's shopping!

This manifold is used when there is a Front winch fitted with a mechanical drive to the rear gearbox PTO. The standard dropdown exhaust gets in the way of the driveshaft to the winch.. There may be other reasons for this arrangement but this one I had fitted to my Series II Hope this settles your curiosity... (look for evidence of a winch having been removed...
