Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 05:56:09 -0500 (EST) From: David Scheidt <david@math.earlham.edu> Subject: oily oddities, and some other random new owner questions I have a couple of oil related questions about my fairly-new-to-me IIA 88". Firstly, a week or two ago, I had the oil pressure go to zero when I used the brakes moderatly hard. Let off the brakes a bit, or tap the throttle, and the pressure went back up to 65lbs. It would not then fall, even if the brakes were fully applied, at least untill the next stop. First time it happened, I of course immediatly killed the engine and inspected it. There was no more oil on and around the engine compartment than there was the last time I looked, and the oil level was not terribly low-- about 3/4 of the way from L mark. I put the requisite half pint or so to bring it to the full line. The problem continued. I got the half mile or so to where I was going, and after having sat for three or four hours, the problem went away, and has not reoccured. I have no idea what could have been happening. The other oil problem is that I don't know where the oil in the transfer box is going, rather, I know where it is going--to the ground, but i don't where it is coming out of. I don't see any obvious leaks, and there are not puddles under the truck, so baring someone stealing 90wt out of my transfer box, it is coming out on its own. Any ideas where it is coming out, that I wouldn't see it? Another niggling thing about ther Rover is that the turn signal indicator lamp will light for no reason. Am I correct in figuring that the reason it would do this is a bad earth somewhere? Shall I just paint my dashboard black in advance of the fire? (the truck was converted to - earth by the PO.)

From: Autoconv@aol.com Date: Wed, 13 Aug 1997 07:05:14 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: Info on Lockers for LR Hi Mike We have a Detroit Locker in the rear of our RR with a Truetrac in the front. For our needs this is an ideal combination, we do very little 'iced' road driving as roads in the UK are 'salted' in the winter. I think, considering your intended use, rock climbing and heavy mud plugging you do need a locker in the rear but in view of the iced roads a selectable, ie ARB would best fit the need, but you will have to live with the relatively high maintenance of the ancilliary kit. It is this maintenance that leads us to prefer the Detriot Locker. The front will be fine with the Detroit Truetrac which gives a bias ratio approx 3:1 which should be adequate for most situations, we are more than pleased with ours. If your off road needs were less demanding I would install a Truetrac in the rear as this would give you a very reliable, progressive action, low cost option. ARB selectable, but all drive through one half shaft when locked which can cause problems, high maintenance on ancilliary kit eg ring seals in diff, compressor, and possibility of damage to air lines and electrics when off road, does not always disengage on command. Detroit Locker, automatic, splits drive through both half shafts, no ancilllary kit to cause problems, inner wheel only drive on corners, if outer wheel does not have sufficient traction diff will not disengage this can cause fish tail on ice. Soft Locker is available for Disco and is far more forgiving than the original Locker but you still need to be aware. Detroit Truetrac automatic torque biasing, splits drive through both half shafts because of its action only biases when one wheel starts to spin out, this is adequate for most applications but does not give 100% lock up. Note the gears in a Truetrac are opposite helix, front /rear , other similar designs only offer single direction. The Lock Right is not a contender at all for a number of reasons. The TorSen is a nice design but very prone to break with little provocation and is prone to premature wear. We have a video available showing a LR 110 with a Detroit Locker in the rear and a Detroit Truetrac in the front which we can send at a small charge.

I thought it might be a sloshing thing, but the level was good.

Out the sides b.) Into the main gearbox This makes sense, as the main box has been overfull every time I checked it, except that I used better than two us gallons of 90 wt on the 2500 mile trip home with the rover. I don't think the mainbox, overdrive, and handbrake drum can hold that much. I suppose that I could have more than one leak. (In a Land-Rover? never.) > c.) Into the handbrake > d.)

B.Adams?) I have just retimed my SIII according to Bills recipe - I had the following problems which may be interesting for others - 1. I had difficulty reading the timing mark on the flywheel - the flywheelhousing had been open for a few days whilst i was fixing the gearbox and tidying up - including washing the car - a little water had left a fine film of rust on the flywheel edge - which made reading the marks hard. Next time I'll remember to clean and polish the rim of the wheel with WD40 before remounting the gearbox. 2. When I found the timing mark (16 degrees before TDC) I was in some doubt as to the exact placing of the mark - all I could see was the 16 - no calibration line - there did seem to be a series of thin lines above the mark like - -- 16 but which line is the mark of 16? I presumed the last line. 3. The pump mark was easy enough (after I'd figured out that the flywheel turns 2 revs for one firing cycle :-) After this line up, the engine smoked even more than before - so I decided to rip the head off and change the head gasket - it ended up with a severe attack of shippfitters disease, during which almoste everything above, and around the block was removed, cleaned and painted and the chassis and engine too. Looks nice now. I have realigned the tappet clearances, but what about the dist. pump timing - should this be re done? (I didn't removed the pump) - the smoking engine has subdued, but there is still more whiteish smoke than on my other two SIII's and the motor sounds like a 2 stroke fishing cutter motor of 1930's vintage - (I have checked that it's firing on all four bores) so is this an indication of the need for a retime? What 3 weeks ago was a donor vehicle bought as scrap is rapidly becoming a fully restored and working SIII from 1972 - should be ready for the paint job next week. It is a beautiful little vehicle,many parts - like the dash, the box, and the body are almost imacculate, it would have been a pity to scrap her. I have a spare pick-up cab which i will mount for the winter, then remove and revert to cabriolet for the summer.

I tried this with grease contaminated trailer brake shoes. The shoes started turning black and then blistered badly so I replaced the shoes. I have cleaned mildly contaminated shoes by sanding off the contaminated surface. Don't forget to thoroughly clean the drum surface also. Brakes and steering are my first priority. Stopping and missing other vehicles and obstacles are ultimately the most important vehicle attributes.
