From: CIrvin1258@aol.com Date: Sat, 4 Oct 1997 07:40:09 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Re: Fairey OD failure ugh! Funny you should mention this subject... Just the other day, my overdrive decided to say "F&$k you!", while I was driving out to the desert, to do a little off-roading, and some target shooting. Luckily with mine, it's the bearings that are going, and when it's dis-engaged, there's no noise - yet. Hopefully, I'll make it to a friends' place tomorrow, and remove it, and put the gear back in. Hopefully moreso, I'll be able to find the bearings locally! Charles ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 971005 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

My LR88 SIII gearbox is on the workdesk, too ( 3/4 Shift). I think if you have put out your box itīs always better to look for everything that could make problems in the next time. Itīs rather easy if you have the partsbook for LR. The story of your skateboard-trolly is really funny! Just try a Snakeboard for better driving your box. Bye, hope problems will be solved soon, BERND ------------------------------[ <- Message 3 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 971005 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I think if I let it sit in the wheel-barrow and stare at it long enough it will start to talk to me. Domestic chores keep me from going at it full tilt, got relatives coming and the missus would rather I finish the guest room than fix the Rover. I would rather fix the transmission and give them the Howard Johnson number, but you didn't hear that from me ;-> Con Seitl 1973 III 88 "Pig" ------------------------------[ <- Message 4 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 971005 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Date: Sat, 4 Oct 1997 09:48:24 -0600 From: krebsfam@mail.iex.net (Jim Krebs) Subject: Replacement Seats The previous owner of my '62 88 had fitted some domestic bucket seats which are now in the landfill. I am in search of replacement seats. I'd like something approaching D90 style (high back and lumbar support). I've priced new D90 seats and have almost recovered from the shock. Are there used seats, Volvo, VW, etc. that will work? Any new replacements that are good (I need the sliding mechanisms too, PO saw to that)? I'd appreciate any advice.

Date: Sat, 4 Oct 1997 18:41:18 -0400 (EDT) From: "William L. Leacock" <wleacock@pipeline.com> Subject: Webber twin choke I have a twin choke Webber carburretor, 27 / 2? fitted to a 2.25 litre petrol engine. I have difficulty in getting it to run smoothly at low rpm. The exhaust note sounds like the engine is misfiring, could be unburnt fuel burning in the exhaust or something like that, I have checked all the plugs, even replaced them all also, no change. The carb is one size fits all type. Anybody have any usefull information on this type of carb on the LR ? Is it necessary to change the jets etc ? The engine ran sweetly on single choke carburretor before the change.

Date: Sat, 4 Oct 1997 18:47:26 -0400 (EDT) From: "William L. Leacock" <wleacock@pipeline.com> Subject: reverse noise How about this for a SIII trans problem. Works great in all forward gears, but reverse gives a distinct clinking type of noise. The faster you go the faster the noise goes. Almost sounds like a missing tooth on a gear but removal of the gear oils produced no teeth or even filings. Took inspection plates off the top and nothing amiss. Now the whole transmission sits in a wheel-barrow in the garage. What next? Con Seitl 1973 III 88 "Pig" Con, the reverse gear arrangement in a series 3 is different to a series 2, there is a separate shaft for the reverse gear, the reverse gear has a brass bush which is prone to wear, the early ones had problems with the shaft and bearing arrangement. To examine the set up requires pumlling the box apart. Whilst you are at it I recomend changing the 2nd / 3 rd gear brass bush on the mainshaft. These also wear and are the primary cause f gearboxes jumping out of third and second gears. They are easy to replace while the box is out.

The engine ran sweetly on single choke [ truncated by list-digester (was 11 lines)] > Bill Leacock Limey in exile > 89 RR; 67 - 109 and early 88. I have a 3632DGV on my 2 1/4, fitted by the PO. It has (I think, I am not quite sure) 170 primary and 150 secondary jets. These work fine at less than about 6,000 feet. Above that, they are way too rich. Climbing Vail pass required the use of first gear. Weber seems to provide their generic carbs with jets that much too lean for any application. If you have reasonable jets, you should be able to kill the engine by turning the idle mixture screw to either extreme. Does anyone have a manual, or know where I can get one, for this carb? I would like to have a copy.

Date: Sat, 4 Oct 1997 20:17:36 -0700 (PDT) From: scooper@scooper.seanet.com (John & Sandy Cooper) Subject: Steering box I thought since cleaning the mud shields I would remove and rebuild the steering box. It has leaked quite a bit since we purchased it in 1977. I think it was run dry a few times also. Well, the job took 7 hours just to remove. The main sticking point were the tie rod ends, especially the one nearest the steering box. I just decided to unscrew the rod from the end and pull out the whole assembly with the tie rod end still on (it worked). Is rebuilding the box a home job or is it best left to a shop? What is the best stuff to seal the housing when finished?
