From: Easton Trevor <Trevor_Easton@dofasco.ca> Subject: rusted wheel bolts Date: Wed, 30 Jul 1997 07:27:00 -0400 Try drilling down the side of the bolt in a couple of spots parallel to the stud. Then use a chisel to split the nut. This way the stud will survive to be cleaned up and a new nut fitted. Get an impact screwdriver from your local handy tool store to undo those drum retainer screws. They are inexpensive and can save hours of frustration and damaged screw slots. Do this before you even consider trying to remove the screws without because you will certainly burr the slots over and make subsequent extraction harder. ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970731 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

KROIL made by Kano labs in Nashville, Tenn. it is only available thru mail
order. They have Kroil with a silicone additive as well as another one with
graphite..good for leaf springs.
I used kroil to free the bolts holding the door tops on my lla which were
rusted solid. I soaked 'em for 3 days and they came right out. When I
changed the swivel balls I used Kroil on the hub bolts and with the help of
my Metrinch was able to turn them right off.
They currently have Kroil as a 2 for 1 deal @ $9

Hi folks,
I'm trying to locate all the owners of 101FC's in the US
and Canada. If you are one, know one, heard of one somewhere,
please email me or phone, I'm trying to organize a sort of
club thing to discuss these vehicles, and organize any

I have a 12v RHD GS 101FC. Looking forward to hearing from

From: MALCOLMF <MALCOLMF@prodigy.net>
Subject: Whats my SIIa worth?
A recent disability makes it look like getting out and under my Land
Rover may not remain an option for me in the future. And in forty plus
years of British car ownership I cannot imagine how to keep one running
if you don't get out and get under - unless, of course, you are as rich
as Croesus.
So I have decided to replace my Land Rover with a Cherokee (power
steering, you know). :(
To give the devil its due, the Cherokee is really a better highway boat
towing vehicle than the Land Rover. It is feeble enough off road, but
then all I really need now is a light duty FWD that will tow a boat and
cope with some difficult boat launch ramps. But it certainly is a
different concept. I went through a muddy puddle. When I got home, I
washed it. Then, Lord help me, I waxed it.
My problem is determining market value the Land Rover and then finding a
a person who will part with the money. The internet is loaded with
websites that will tell you what ask for a car with power seats, sun
roofs, air conditioning, et al. None of which is of any use to me.
I have a hard working, 88 inch, 2.25 petrol, 1965 SIIa, located in
Southern New Hampshire, about an hour north of Boston. As of today, the
odometer says 83,869 miles but of course it is anybody's guess what that
means.
It has a tailgate style hard top, rear seats and the bows for the soft
top but no canvas, windows or the piece that goes over the right hand
door. Elephant hide generally in very good shape.
The chassis seems to have no more than superficial surface rust.
The engine starts well, even below zero (F) and stops fast when you turn
the key off. A recent valve job evened out the compression which had
been a bit low in one cylinder. Oil pressure kicks in at 80 psi when
first run cold but soon drops to about 45psi in town and to 60psi at
highway speeds when hot.
It has Warn hubs, Rochester carb, Delco alternator (neg ground), new
springs and shocks and three point seat belts.
The body has a few minor dings that just add to overall character. PO's
first painted the original factory light green to a forest green and
later semigloss black. A paint job is in order and was going to be my
next project, but it is really cosmetic. The hard top is the original
Ivory color. I recently hosed the underside, but the topsides need to
be washed. :)
This Land Rover is a daily driver. I don't drive it every day, more
because of where I need to drive, rather than the condition of the car.
Face it, and I don't care how much you love them, Series Land Rovers
suck on Interstate Highways. My cruise control is the radio. When I
can no longer hear the radio above all of the general engine, gearbox,
tire and wind noise, I know I am going fast enough. I don't object to
this, you understand, but I think it indicates a maximum happy speed of
50-55 mph. If you don't have the radio on you can easily wind up better
than 65.
It is routinely my car of last resort, in that when nothing else in the
driveway will fire up or move, the Land Rover will. It will pull, push,
jump start, unbury itself from snow dumped on it by the snow blower,
pull trailers, get to work in rain, sun, snow, -20F, +100F, do dump
runs, or whatever. It is currently registered and inspected (New
Hampshire Antique Plate <<USMC>>)
In the six years I have owned it, it has pulled a car back to pavement
that had skidded to the the top of a snow drift, rescued a pick-up
truck/heavy boat from a sandy lakeside launch ramp and one time took a
buried Volvo wagon plus boat off a mucky salt water ramp just ahead of
the incoming tide. It is my vehicle of choice for dump runs and getting
rid of lawn refuse. (The back of an 88 holds about a third cord of
split firewood without going too far over the top of the seats.)
Someone from Kansas (Nebraska?) was looking for a Land Rover recently,
but if anyone wanted to take it that far they should stop at Rovers
North and have an overdrive unit installed. I have been told that you
need a strong engine to handle the overdrive and I believe that my
engine is strong enough to handle it. They should also invest in a
super-soft seat cushion.
This Land Rover can be used as is, cleaned up nicely for a daily worker
or serve as the basis for a minimum effort complete restoration. Yet
there are enough mysterious minor problems to keep the cognoscenti
happy. Thrilled, in fact.
I want my Land Rover to have a good home. The only other car that I
have ever felt this way about was a 1952 MGTD that I had to get rid of
in 1968. Although sentimental about both cars, I never gave either a
name.
So, anyway, anybody have any good idea what my Land Rover might be
worth?
Anybody want part with some money?
Comments welcome, on the net or direct.

Until the very end of SII production in '71, all gearboxes were essentially the same without synchronizers on 1st or 2nd. So the driver has to ensure that the gears are matched in speed when shifting into 1st or 2nd. This means double clutching when downshifting. ------------------------------[ <- Message 18 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970731 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Subject: Palo Alto 1997
Geeez... almost that time aleady!!
The British Car Meet across from the Stanford Shopping Center in Palo
Alto, CA is almost upon us again. The dates are Saturday and Sunday,
September 6th and 7th, 1997.
The event flyer reads in part,
"Saturday, Sept. 6th - Join us for a fun-filled morning Brunch Cruise
to The Sea coordinated by British Car Magazine. Cars will be staged from
the El Camino Park lot between 9:00 & 10:30 AM. Fee, including brunch at
The Village Green Tea Room in El Granada, is $10 per person. There is no
pre-registration, but let the British Car Magazine folks know if you are
planning to participate. Call 415-949-9680.
"Sunday, Sept 7th - Be part of the biggest one-day British show in
America. Over 700 cars are expected to fill El Camino Park. Daily
drivers & works-in-progress are as welcome as Concours quality cars.
Great food, big band music and more fun than you'll be able to stand!
All participants will receive a commerative event cap. Fiels entry will
be 9:00 AM. There is no pre-registration. Fee is $20 per car at the
gate; Spectators attend free. Call 310-392-6605 for more information.
"El Camino Park is on the El Camino, one block north of University
Ave., just opposite the main entrance to the Stanford Shopping Center."
Event Coordinator Rich Feybush says this year The British Car Meet in
Palo Alto will honor the MGB. The MBG club will have its National
Convention at Palo Alto, as it did 4 years ago. He is expecting 150
MGB's to attend. Next year Morris Minors will celebrate their 50th
Jubilee Anniversary, as will Land Rover.
This year Land Rovers will be parked in the North Field, closer to the
band area.
See you there!
