I hit a hard bump in my old 88 and the wiring behind the dash (series III) caught fire. I jumped out of the truck and popped the hood to disconnect the battery, then realized I needed a wrench. Of course the wrenches were locked in a toolbox in the back, the key to the padlock was hanging in the ignition and the cab was full of smoke. Not knowing how toxic the fumes were, I stood there like a moron and let it burn out. It ended up only being a few wires to replace but it could have been a disaster. With one of these disconnect gizmos the battery would have been disconnected in 5 seconds.

For his extremes he chose temperatures that roughly represent the temperature extremes found in the European climate. Namely, 100*F (37.8C) is about as hot as it usually gets. 0*F (-17.8C) is about as cold as is typical. -------------------------- The Fahrenheit scale was composed by G. D. Fahrenheit (1686-1736) between 1710 and 1714. He used three fixed temperature points: the temperature of a salt/ice mixture, the freezing point of distilled water, and normal human body temperature. These were taken to be 0, 32 and 96 respectively. In Europe, the Celsius scale is named in the mistaken belief that it was invented by Anders Celsius (1701-1744). Celsius proposed a scale that ran from 0 (boiling point of water) to 100 (melting point of ice); it was J.P. Christen(1683-1755) in 1743 who described the more familiar orientation of this scale. Other temperature scales are the Reaumur scale (1730), and the more useful Kelvin (or Rankine) scales of thermodynamic temperature, named after Lord Kelvin of Largs. The Kelvin Scale is also known as the Absolute Scale. Cheers Tom _________________________________________________________________________ Thomas D. I.

Dear Madam / Sir
My client Andrey Ourvanov Had purchased a Range Rover 4.6 HSE car,
other details of which are given below, from AL-TAYER MOTORS (PVT.)LTD
based in the United Arab Emirates and brought the car with him when
settling in North Cyprus.
Before he set out for North Cyprus he had noted from your catalogue
that Gursoy and Sons company was empowered in North Cyprus by you.
Unfortunately, following his arrival and settlement in North Cyprus
and his visit to Gursoy and Sons he was told that the maintenance and
service of his car would not be carried out and this has caused a
feeling of helplessness and great distrees to my client.
Hoping that you will find a solution to my client's helplessness as
soon as possible , I wish you luck in your business.

Celsius ranges from 0 to 100 (freezing to boiling) while Farenheit goes from 32 to 212. If you remember that bit of trivia, you can recreate the formula anytime. If you're converting F to C, subtract 32 so that you've got a range of 0 to 180 on the F side. Now, from 0 to 100 (C) there are 20 5 degree steps, (I think of them as marks on the thermometer) while for F, each of those 20 steps are 9 degrees. So divide your F by 9 to figure out how many steps then multiply by the 5 C degrees per step to find your celsius degrees. Say you want to convert 77 degrees F to celsius. subtract 32 to get 45 degrees (0 to 180, instead of 32 to 212) then divide by 9 to find out how many "steps" you've got, (5) then multiply by 5 C deg. per step to find your celsius temp (25). To go the other way, do your step conversion first: Divide your C temp (say, 15) by 5 to find out how many steps (3), then multiply by 9 F deg. per step (27) and then add 32 to scoot your scale up from 0-180 to 32-212 and you have your farenheit temp (59). >You can trust me; I'm a Doctor!

Subject: Diesel priming
Date: Thu, 2 Oct 1997 23:01:49 +0100
Help!
This should be a basic problem with a simple solution (though I havent
found one, standing out in the rain at 2° C) and I´m hoping for some advice
from you more experienced Landie mechanics. Thing is, I decided to do a
quick change of the main fuel filter on my SIII diesel 1977, but as usual
it turns out there is no such thing as quick when it comes to Land Rovers.
I followed the instructions given in the Haynes "Service and repair
manual". Changing the filter was no problem, (the old one was unbelievably
full of trash), and then comes the fuel priming. I slacken the bleed pipe
union on the filter, and then begin to operate the fuel pump hand priming
lever. And I then continue to do so for like 20-30 minutes (or thats what
it felt like in the cold), the result of this being a cramp in my hands but
no diesel whatsoewer reaching the filter or the bleed pipe.
What am I doing wrong? Would it help to pour some diesel down the pipe
leading from the fuel pump to the filter, filling the filter first, or
what. The fuel pump worked fine when I was driving home from work today,
but then that was in engine operated mode.?
If anyone has got any advice or help to offer I would be very thankful (and
able to get to work tomorrow).
Thanks

]Date: Wed, 1 Oct 1997 21:05:44 -0400 (EDT) From: "William L. Leacock" <wleacock@pipeline.com> Subject: 3 liter Bill, Thanks for the feedback on the Rover 3 liter sedan engine in place of the 2.6 Land Rover. As I recall, the cars ID plate identified it as a Rover 3000, Mk III. Is that possible and would it make for an even higher performance engine than the Mk II you referred to? The MK2 and 3 are similar outputs, they both have the Weslake cylinder heads, which incidently were the same heads fitted to the later NADA 2.6's to give them a power boost. Do you know if there is a difference in bore or stroke or both on the 3.0 versus the 2.6 engine. From memory the bores are the same,as are the blocks, it is the stroke a that is different, the mark 3 has bigger diameter main bearings 2.625" whilst the mk 1 and early mark 2 had 2.25" dia. Can you tell me where I can find the specs on the 3.0 liter engine? Can't remeber that far back, in the UK my local library had a book. The mk 3 has a compression ratio of 8.75 :1 and develops 134 bhp at 5000 rpm, torque is 169 lbf ft at 1750 rpm, timing 3 deg btdc. bore 3.063". stroke, 4.134" It is basically a 6 cylinder version of the 2 litre engine fitted tot he Rover 60 and the series 1. Some export models were 8 :1 comp ratio and deveoped 129 hp at 4750 rpm. Do the Rover Sedan 3.9 diffs transfer directly into the Land Rover? Yes they will interchange directly with standard axles, not with the salisbury. What about axle shafts? I do have two sedans I can get both engines, and diffs out of. They both have automatic transmissions. Does thatrequire me to get a different flywheel housing to bolt up the 2.6 bell housing and trans to? Some of the rear brake parts are interchangable, of course other parts like the wiper motor, can be used. The electric fuel pumps are useful, but they are pushers, not suckers, they ar emounted on the fuel tank in the trunk. Look for the tool kit under the dash. The instrument panels are very nice, the switches etc and wiring harness are also useful sources of parts. The steering wheelk is interchangeable with some land rover steeering boxes. No the standard flywheel housing will do, or the one from your 2.6. Also, is the 2.6 Liter trans any different from any other SIIA trans other than the bell housing? No, unless it is the 1 ton version which has the all helical transfer box Bill Leacock Limey in exile 89 RR; 67 - 109 and early 88. ------------------------------[ <- Message 22 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 971002 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

As a mathematically challenged person who's job includes experimental design and stats analysis, I have a guide that has helped me since high school: The problem is: 1. There is a 9/5 or 5/9 multiplication thing, depending on the direction of conversion; 2. You have to remember that 100C = 212F; 3. There is an add or subtract of 32 thing, but this is either before or after the multiplication, depending on the direction of conversion; 4. The numbers 5/9, 9/5 and 32 are easy to remember, but the sequence? My solution was: 1. Given a C temp., and knowing that F is higher than C at boiling point (or normal daily temperatures for most of us), the multiplication must be by 9/5; then, F boiling point ends with a 2, because the 32 has been added "after" multiplying; 2. Therefore F to C conversion is the opposite - subtract the 32 "first", then multiply by 5/9. It worked for me. Now who earns one of those LR T-shirts that were going to be produced for knowing the temperature at which both scales have the same reading? Luckily we don't get anywhere near it down here.

Hi Nate,

sounds a bit strange to a physicists ears. A battery has just 12V. You can
touch both poles without getting any shock. Your body has at least several
10.000 ohms resistance. This won't allow a reasonable current to flow.
But there is a reason to cut the grounding cable (neg. or pos.): If your
cutter touches the car body while still beeing in contact with the cable
you'll get a very nice shortage if it wasn't the gound cable you were cutting.
Just my .02$

Have you tried just starting it? Check if your pumping fuel by loosening the fuel line to the injection pump, diesel should come out in gulps when working the pump, if not, your problem lies in the pumpitself or in the line from your tank to the pump.
