I am convinced that my pump and engine on all three SIII's are both
series III - besides they are the same as every diesel SIII which I have
ever seen here in Denmark. But the pumps do have an inspection plate on
the side facing the bulkhead which can be opened/drained so as to
calibrate timing.

The diesel tank is recently cleaned and flushed - I did it myself, so i
am sure that algæ is not the problem.

And the quality of diesel here in denmark is superb - and has been for
at leastt he last 10 years - in the early 80's we had some problems,
mostly with relation to freezing in the minus 20's (°C) but that problem
is all but a thing of the past. I have tried fuelling with heating oil,
which can be associated with water problems, but regular diesel here is
fine.

So it must be something else...

thanks

Last time I was over there, I took Aero (bubbly milk chocolate) and an 
assortment of Indian sauces/relishes for someone! The time before that I took
Marmite for myself, but the English shops stock that kind of thing...

That first time, a few of use went out and shared a house. One guy had his
girlfriend send jiffy bags of creme eggs (sweet gooy/fondanty/sticky stuff
in an egg of Cadbury's chocolate) and twiglets (wheat[?] crisps coated in
Marmite) - yep, you got it, the green customs forms said "Contents: creme eggs
& twiglets" 

No, the creme eggs did not survive the postal system...

My God! Give this man a prize. He got candy out of one of those machines
on the underground....when IU was living there, it was assumed that 
these were installed by LU just to relieve tourists of spare pocket
change...

Anyway...lets get back to rovers...

Subject: Help/LROI contest

Alright folks, two things:

Does anyone know when the entires for the LROI contest need to be in? It was
a two part deal ~ this month and last month's issues and I think I might
enter it, but I don't know what the deadline is

Second~
In last month's issue, part one of the contest, question 2 asks about the
vehicle pictured. Obviously it's not an SI, and it certainly is a 101, but
weren't most 101s series IIa? Are there two right answers or am I missing
something?

Thanks Guys,
Alex
69 IIa
89 RR
p.s~ my AC sucks in the August heat as well. Anybody have any sugestions? It
was re-freoned last Sept.

Are you confusing Forward Controls and 101s? I can't remember the questions
or answers, but there were 3 production Forward Controls (unless someone
can think of more):

IIA, IIB, and 101"

The 101" was a bit of a mix, including amongst other things, bits of Rangie.

The IIA and IIB had reputations for being seriously underpowered.

If this helps you win...       :-)

Beg to differ, but it's the other way round. The 3.5L/LT95 tranny combo were developed
for the 101 in 1972, then later dropped into the Rangie. These are the only parts the
101 has in common with other landies, other than a few misc bits/fittings like door
handle/latches, tail gate latches etc. Other than that, the 101 is unique.

Oh?  How is it that this drivetrain was "later dropped into the Rangie" when
the Range Rover was introduced in 1970?

Allright, I give up. Who supplies the front bumper, brush guard, and 
recovery points for CT Discoveries? I can't believe it's LR 'cause the 
LRNA accessories decrease your off-highway abilities and both Safety 
Devices and Superwinch USA say they don't. Can anyone shed some light?

The first 101FC prototypes were built in 1969, being built with 3.0L 6 cyls and the
LT95 tranny, the V8 not yet being available. These were underpowered as you might 
imagine, and when the V8 became available it was fitted with the first production 101's going
to trials in 1972.

I believe its an ARB front bumper, with an integral brush bar. Just one big 
honkin chunk o'iron that bolts up where the original (probably now mangled) 
bumper went. Don't know what effect this has on airbag operation. Probably best 
to disable the frickin' airbag anyway after hearing all the reports of them 
causing serious death.

As for the recovery points, they appear to be the standard recovery hitch that 
is offered by LR parts in the UK. These can be sourced elsewhere, but they 
aren't usually cheap regardless of where they come from. They are similar to the
jaw/pin setup on the back of a standard NAS Series truck, only they don't 
protude as far and seem just a tad beefier. I seem to recall alot of these 
having a large yellow metal ring through them to allow quick hook-ups. 
This could be sourced either from RN(?) or McMaster Carr. 

Goin' to the jungle?

Why don't you come with us this weekend??

Hi all,

I have Superwinch FWHs which will come off this weekend, while changing oil
seals and brakeshoes.  What does one do for FWH overhauls other than
repacking with grease?

LR Special Vehicles division now produces front end add ons.  We did 
some research on this following a lot of questions to LRO SHOP.  They 
do not sell to the public.
