Subject: Re: How long is hot for too long?
Adrian, I'd inspect the injectors - sounds to me like you might have cooked
them. A compression test might be a useful thing also.
Diesels don't like to run dry - they tend to barbecue their innards quite
quickly.
In the meantime, an oil change , and a look down the bores to look for
holes in pistons might tell you a world of information. i'd suspect
buggered ijectors for the smoking, though.

Re: Injectors causing smoke:
Not from too big a hole - but pissing a stream of Diesel rather than a
spray of it, all nicely atomized.
The pattern is the big thing here - if it's not coming across atomized it
burns incompletely, thus causing loads of crap in the exhaust and a lack of
power (not that you could tell with one of those darned Diesels.....8*) ).
I'd pull them and have a look at the faces - could be they coked up while
hot, thus restricting the port and causing problems. Of course, you could
also have deformed the injector needles, at which point it's replacement
parts time.
There are two ports on the front face - the main port and a starting port.
main port's at the center, and the starting port is a pinhole to one side.
A Stainless-steel wirebrush might help find them...at least I needed one
when I was working on my Diesel.
Re: Home rebuilds:
Nope - far as I know, can't be done unless you have a hand pump capable of
the high pressures needed to pop the injectors. When setting them, you need
to recreate operating conditions (opening pressure and the like) and this
isn't something that most folk have the hardware to do.
Pulling them and cleaning the faces and orifices, however, I wouldn't
hesitate to do - it might just do the trick. Along with this, you could
steal the injectors out of your parts truck 8*) and try them, to see if the
problem changes.

Subject: Overheated Engines
Date: Tue, 19 Aug 1997 09:44:32 -0700
If your engine does overheat, one thing I would recommend is to cool
it down SLOWLY. Do not open the radiator cap right away. This can be
very dangerous (picture a five foot high fountain of steam and boiling
green liquid)
One good method of speeding up the cooling process is to pour cool
water over the outside of the radiator. Never pour cold water over
the outside of a hot engine block; the uneven rapid cooling could
cause the block to crack! Most Radiator caps have a pressure release
button on them. Press this to judge how much pressure is in the
system. Once the pressure has dropped, start the engine and add
coolant slowly while it is running.
I used this method for years while working through college as a gas
pump attendant.

Subject: Re: How hot is hot? (for a 2.25 petrol)
100 degrees centigrade is boiling. In a pressurized system
water
boils at an even higher temperature. Temperatures below what the
water
actually boils are acceptable. Yours running at 90 degrees C is well
below
that and should be okay for extended periods of time. Creeping water
temperatures without cause, however, are possible signs of low water
or
other cooling system woes.
One nice thing about the all cast iron lump under the hood of
the
rover is that it is not nearly as sensitive to overheating problems
as
Aluminum or aluminum headed engines. I had a radiator hose develop a
pin
hole leak and dumped the water. By the time I noticed it at 55 mph on
a 100
F day, the water temperature was 120 C and rising. When I popped the
radiator cap (I know your not supposed to do it) it shot steam like a
busted
pipe on a steam engine. Added water and it ran fine ever after.
That brings me to another question. What is the proper way to
add
water to an overheated engine. I was taught to leave engine running
and add
water. Somehow it would seem better to turn engine off, let cool, and
then
add water. Have never had problem with the former but thought someone
might
have some scientific input.
A word of caution on the capilary gauge (the dual gauge on the
older
vehicles, you know the one that has the oil pressure gauge that
works), it
doesn't read properly in an engine without any water. If the bulb is
not
immersed in water it is very slow to register temperature. My old
MGA
taught me that.

Yes, and no. I recently put in new injector nozzles (the front part of the
injectors). Including pulling the injectors a 1 hour job. But you have to
check the spray pattern afterwords, which is a specialist job. I had it
done by a Fiat and farm machine workshop (better and MUCH cheaper then
the Bosch service). You can clean the the old injectors if you have
access to a ultrasonic cleaner. Don't try to unclog the injector holes
with a needle. You most likely break it and have the reminders stuck there
forever. If the injectors are not worn (then they won't seal anymore)
you can reuse them. My old ones had presumably 85.000km are now doing well
in the 109 of a friend after I cleaned them. BTW you can inspect them
with a binocular microscope and see how worn they are. Ok, I don't have
one at home, but at work.
Don't forget to get 4 new copper washers and heatshields (look like a
washer, too) before you pull the injectors.

It is funny that you ended up with some of the mudflaps that I know all my life. The first Landrovers I saw always had them.

Yes, I've heard of them. There are two in Holland. I visit them in Purmerend ones. They don't have a very good name in buisiness. The other is in Breda, this is a dealer. Cheers!

I'm just trying to help. >Knook is a well-known company in the Netherlands. In a town called >Purmerend, 15 km north of Amsterdam. There is an official Lanrover dealer called Knook in Purmerend, there is also one called Knook in Breda (south of Holland). I think the Knook you are looking for is Knook Trend. This is an ex-army import/export firm. They also sell used and new (series) Landrover-parts. The adress is: Knook Trend Flevostraat 70 1442 PZ Purmerend tel: (31)299-472931 greetings, Jody Scharrenborg S1 86" 1955 ------------------------------[ <- Message 25 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970820 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
Date: Wed, 20 Aug 1997 09:53:05 +0100 From: "Dr Ian H. Mitchell" <i.mitchell@ic.ac.uk> Subject: Servo unit repairs Hi there I am just crashing into this list as my friends on the UK list can't seem to help me here. I've just returned from doing London-Capetown in my SIII 1-ton. IT WAS GREAT. But now I need to get my LandRover back into shape to pass the good old British MOT. When in Africa, my brake warning light came on. The problem is in the servo unit. As this coincided with a deterioration in the braking performance, I am not blaming the sensor. At the weekend we took the servo off and replaced the seals using a minor repair kit. Is it possible to test the unit without actually having to put it back on and drive it? If it still isn't working can I do anything alse to it or do I have to but a new one? Thanks for your help.

From: marsden@digicon-egr.co.uk (Richard Marsden) Subject: Land Speed Record Attempt Date: Wed, 20 Aug 97 10:34:31 BST (apologies to people on both uk and main lro lists!) As I'm sure many of you are aware, there's a lot of activity in the Unlimited Land Speed Record world - with 4 challengers to Richard Noble's Thrust 2 record. Three are intending to break the sound barrier, and two most experienced teams are going to be running "head to head" on Black Rock Desert in September. Craig Breedlove has already had a crack of the record at the end of last year with "Spirit of America". This ended up with crash, and damage, but the car has been rebuilt. Richard Noble's ThrustSSC has been going for a more incremental scheme, ironing out the bugs on the way. After runs at DRA Farnborough and Al Jafr (Jordan), the Thrust team are now ready. The cost of getting Thrust SSC to the US is high, but they've managed to raise most of the money in the past few weeks. They, have, though been unable to get a sponsor for the Antonov's fuel. The following has been taken from an Internet newsletter: > News > ThrustSSC is ready for transit to the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, for the = [ truncated by list-digester (was 20 lines)] > Jeremy Davey, these are headed by a stunning watercolour by John = > Pittaway of Andy and ThrustSSC on the Black Rock at sunset. <minor follow-up items removed> Their WWW site is by far the best of any of the LandSpeed teams, check it out: http://thrustssc.digital.co.uk/ It includes the UK's first completely automated shopping system, and a "Runs Database" which really is kept upto-the-minute.

For LRO content, they're using a variety of support vehicles, including a Jaguar fire car, a some Discos. Also, Land Rover did a special set of Land Rovers which were auctioned off for funs (full details on the WWW site). > (apologies to people on both uk and main lro lists!) > As I'm sure many of you are aware, there's a lot of activity in the > Unlimited Land Speed Record world - with 4 challengers to Richard Noble's I also, see the major chopped the main message, here's another attempt... News ThrustSSC is ready for transit to the Black Rock Desert, Nevada, for the record attempt and the attempt to break the Sound Barrier on land. The outstanding items required are GBP 200,000 ($320,000) and 250,000 US gallons of fuel. The situation is simple - we believe the necessary funds can be raised, but we have not found a sponsor for the fuel to fly the Antonov to the US. We must therefore raise additional funds to buy the fuel. It is now time to call on the Internet to achieve this goal - if we are to continue to be able to tell this amazing story through the Web Site and provide our readership with news, information and excitement, we must raise that money. We have broken down the fuel needed into 10,000 lots of 25 gallons and are asking our regular readers to buy them to enable us to get to Black Rock. In return we will send you one of the Black Rock 1997 Fuel Certificates - available only through the Internet. Signed by Project Leader Richard Noble, Driver Andy Green and Webmaster Jeremy Davey, these are headed by a stunning watercolour by John Pittaway of Andy and ThrustSSC on the Black Rock at sunset. ------------------------------[ <- Message 28 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 970820 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
