On the engine cover of all of my Land Rovers it says "Tappet clearance hot or cold 0.010" " and yet in the haynes Manual and the Official LR Workshop manual (Danish edition) it states 0.020" (0.25mm) - so are we talking about a minor discrepancy of 0.010" or an error of the magnitude of 100% - does this matter? Who should I believe - the man who made the motor (label) or the man who made the manual? I would say to always trust the language of origin.

My LR (German) manual says .25mm which is actually .010" (at least until recently
1 inch was 25.4mm) for the 2.5D and the 2.3D.
Hope this helps,

German and Ruski jerry cans, which are made to the original Wehrmacht pattern (i.e. almost identical to NATO jerry cans- they all copied the Germans, hence the nickname) for about $16 each. I have two and they are good quality, but may come in odd colors, i.e. I have one silver can, one dark green Red Army can. The Russian ones can be identified by the cryllic same case letter which looks like greek "lambda" as an abbreviation for "liter". They also sell original British army water jerry cans (in HDPE) for about the same or less. Once youre on their list you keep getting their catalog. They have a lot of neat surplus stuff, plus shooting supplies and clothing, and camping gear. I dont have a catalog handy but their number is 1-800-882-2962. They have a web page at //www.skypoint.com/members/pilot/guide.htm The usual disclaimers apply. If anyone needs the order numbers I'll try to hunt up a catalog at home. Cheers.

Subject: Locking Hubs on Rear
Date: Tue, 5 Aug 1997 14:06:43 +0000
A friend of mine asked about installing locking hubs on the rear of his 88
so he will be able to unlock them while he is towing the rover behind his
pick-up any thoughts/comments?.
If it were me I would drop the driveshaft.
Thanks

I'd be worried about one breaking - sudden loss of power, engine braking,
and handbrake.
If you've got new nuts on your driveshaft (what 20p each?) they're quite a bit
easier to undo! I'd be tempted to do that too.

The self-locking nuts linking it to the diff were really self-locking and had to be ground off. The ones holding it to the transfer box output flange looked pretty inaccessible, but when I started tackling them with an open-ended spanner they yielded easily. Actually, they all seemed pretty loose. Even the bolts/studs are a little loose, the will turn about 15 degrees and seem a little loose inthe sockets. According to my parts manual, these should be studs, but this is a late 1958 and they might just be captive bolts (like the ones that hold the transmission brake drum). Does anybody know? I don't want to dismantle any more components in that direction if I don't have to, but loose studs would really worry me.

Date: Tue, 05 Aug 1997 19:40:12 -0600 From: Rick Grant <rgrant@cadvision.com> Subject: brake wheel cylinder repair? As I related on the weekend I managed to strip a bleed nipple in a brake wheel cylinder. So based on the old aircraft maintenance principle that if something goes wrong, and you have more of the same thing on board, you'd better pull and at least inspect if not replace, I pulled the others and sure enough one is close enough to complete strip failure to make no difference. But it turns out that the cost of these things in C$ is way high. Is there a way to repair these things? It's the soft alloy in the casting that is stripped, not the diamond hard bleed nipple.
