Hi Quintin,
 I would be interested in one or two of those axles but I would also
need to locate replacement front brakes for my 88.  Any luck with those
parts?

There's absolutely no need for the obnoxious nature of this post.  Why 
not NICELY suggest the Coil Sprung list to the original poster?  
Though I own only a coil sprung Rover, I read this list too because I 
find the information generally interesting.  However, I just don't 
understand the hostility that I see from some folks...

I can't speak for Spencer but I think that the tone of the original posters
note did not sound very good. I know when I read it I was a little bent also
( sounds like a through-back to the days of the list split). I'm sure if he
had simply asked if there was anywhere that he could get information about
Rangies then he would have been nicely pointed to the coil sprung list, but
instead he came out sounding rather snotty. Us leaf owners will defend our
vehicles to the end.

Re: Hostility:

I don't think that would have happened had the poster not been an obvious
"taker", rather than a participant.

I found the attitude of "I only want to hear what applies to me - sod the
rest of it", with the implicit overtones of "deliver unto me what I demand"
to be most galling....Spencer didn't say one word I (and I'll lay odds many
others) didn't think.

This is a participatory foum - and some people just don't get that concept.
To these I bid a fond farewell -  join, comment, participate but don't sit

I've had dealings with Mr. Norcross in the past.  He can be such a
troglodyte ( I hope he reads this!)  Some people can just be so rude to
other people without any concern for THEIR feelings.  Spencer... you should

Subject: Re: unsubscribe

I'd just like to echo Spenny's sentiments...if this individual in question
had asked for information about his vehicle we would have either been
helped to the best of our ability or pointed to the CSO.  Instead came a
rather snotty-toned announcement that he didn't find much information about
his particular type of Rover and therefore didn't have time for us.

The dichotomy in Rover ownership lies not in the type of suspension under
your vehicle but in your attitude towards life.  I enjoy the company of
Rover people (and spend a good part of my year travelling to hang out with
them).  They are casual, down-to-earth, helpful, intelligent, and
open-minded.  

Because the current-model Rovers are aimed to "conspicuous consumers" they
generally don't attract the types of people that I like to hang around
with.  Don't get me wrong, I have great friends who own Discos, Rangies or
D90s...they are, however, the exception rather than the rule.  This
indiviual who signed off the list touched a nerve felt by many...he
conveyed a snobbery about his particular vehicle that is not consistent
with what I know it is to be a Rover owner.

Sign me up for one.  In view of my current problems I need a complete motor
including DISTRIBUTOR and CARB.  BTW what will it take to make these 24Volt
motors work with a 12Volt car.  Is it a simple matter of swapping out the
Alt/Gen or is there something more that is required?

Maybe if it were open to all you may getsome new members,  
Or maybe you should'nt use this forum to post your bill.
You may want to start your very own BSROAnet.

From: "Jeffrey A. Berg" <jeff@purpleshark.com>
Subject: In defense of Spenny (List oriented, not Rover, content)

There's absolutely no need for the obnoxious nature of this post.

The short answer: It amuses us. That's need enough.

For justification (not that I need to justify my actions to all of you)
read on...

However, I just don't
understand the hostility that I see from some folks...

You said it, you just don't understand. But I'll give you a clue: Spenny
isn't hostile. Unless of course you happen to be around while he's wearing
his kilt AND drinking single malt. Then he channels his Scots ancestors in
frightening ways. Spen's humor has been part of this list for a long time
though, and his *contributions to the community* are appreciated by more
than a few of us. So I enjoyed his remarks about Ryan O. Emge's
self-centered behavior.

Ryan's *Me Me Me* attitude rings through clearly--though I'd agree he might
not have meant to sound that way. If he wants a list to follow those
specifications he should create one rather than "laying it out there" as a
project for Bill or another. Don't worry Ryan, we'll phone you up when
"Ryan's 1988 and Up Range Rover" list and web site are done. (And to quote
Jimmy Buffett, "If the phone doesn't ring, it's me.")

Furthermore, I think Spenny showed remarkable restraint by not pointing out
that Ryan, a self-proclaimed Technical Support Specialist for some sort of
network operation, shows total incompetence when it comes to following
simple instructions.

Ryan sent three identical messages to the list in his (failed) attempt to
unsubscribe. Wrong, wrong, wrong. The correct procedure is outlined in the
initial message you receive when you sign on--and on the WWW site if you
toss the message. See it for yourself at
lro-info.html#how.

Posting a note to the list at large to unsubscribe is unecessary and
useless. It's an automated process handled through a special email
acccount,  mailto://majordomo@Land-Rover.Team.Net . If this is too hard,
Bill C. has taken the time to provide a form on the WWW site to do the work
for you.

So, unlike Spenny's witty comments, the three unsubscribe messages were an
uninteresting waste of my limited "personal bandwidth" (that stuff don't
grow on trees you know!) Especially as I really don't care why people
choose not to keep subscribing--more so when it's to the tune of "this list
doesn't meet my personal expectations, so until you all decide to
change..." Just go, have a good life, you won't be missed here.

(Regular contributors who are leaving should post a brief notice though.
Just so we don't worry about ya! Try not to use "unsubscribe" as the
subject though--a lot of us would skip over it.)

And if *we* were really going to be obnoxious...

Okay, I'll behave now.

Gee, Jeff,

A whole flame war about which I knew nothing?  Your subject line caught my
attention so I looked (I mean, what could old-timer Spenny have done that
would necessitate that someone defend him?).  I haven't a clue about what
has been going on.  I delete about 75% of the messages from this list, based
upon subject lines, and just read the interesting stuff.  Works well,

Subject: Re: BSROA outing

Mike and all,

First off I appologize if I have offended anyone.

Second, I'm not the BSROA posterboy, but I am a member. I'm also a member 
of the EC4WDA open to all makes of vehicles. I joined these clubs as a way 
of meeting other folks that share a common interest. When I go off roading 
I'm usually with 3 or 4 other Rover owners or J##P, T##ota, etc that just 
like to go out and have a good time.

I was asked to try and organize an event for the BSROA because their off 
road events can be few and far between at times. They are trying to correct 
this by adding more events. I'm not involved with the club business in any 
way and don't want to be. I write an occasional column for the newsletter, 
thats it.

In trying to do something nice for others I don't want to get labeled as an 
elitist or an assh#le.

My offer still stands. If their are folks out there that are not BSROA 
members and would like to come along to check out the club I think thats 
great. I still need to limit the overall # to around 15 vehicles.

If there are others interested in going on a trail ride with me and could 
care less about joining the BSROA thats fine to. I'll be glad to do a 
second run on another day. How about the following weekend Saturday, Nov 
8th? I'm fanatic about Rovers period. Anyone that knows me should realize 
this by now.

All I ask is have the right minimum gear, and a friendly attitude. I would 
love to meet you and any others, so let's go have some fun off road. It's 
up to you let me know.

P.S. I apologize for using the list to contact interested people but it's 
the only way I have to talk to everyone. 

Cheers and hope to meet you,

Subject: Mangled "Spenny" message apologies

My "In defense of Spenny" rant got a bit garbled by Eudora Pro when I chose
to remove styles. Specifically, the three sections of Geoffrey Reynolds'
message that I quoted were not marked as such, and for some reason the
"(Regular contributors" phrase got repeated twice, bracketing the final
quote. I'm not going to repost the thing for clarity--to long. Sorry if
this causes any more confusion on an issue that's been beaten to death.

Hi all.

Just got off the phone from talking with David Skrocki  (Mark Talbot found his '66 88" for sale in NH).

Well he got a few calls and changed his price. 

He now figures it's worth a good $1000.  I don't know about anyone else, but I get completely turned off when someone changes the price.

Thanks to all who chimed in with their feelings about RTV's unsuitablity

new wheel stud and lug nut (remember those impact driven lugs?) I ordered
genuine gaskets for the fuel guage sender and pickup tube. May as well do
it correctly.

(Meanwhile, if the sediment bowl doesn't catch the gooey bits, I'm hoping

is not much of a landrover following here  and there are about only

there are a reasonably high number off in fields and hedgerows but they

I bought my project 109 SW (engine runs OK, 60k, mint frame, the usual
dents, brake and clutch hydraulics shot, Warn winch) for $2600 about 18
months ago. It was the first 'project' 109SW I was able to find in the
Southeast. I later came across two more, but they were in much worse
condition and the asking price was in the $3000-4000 range.
My first 88 (same condition as the 109SW, but with a Koenig winch) cost
$800 about 5 years ago. Project rovers south of the Mason-Dixon line are
more rare than in northern states, but are usually in much better shape.

Best advice: Keep about $1500 handy and drive with your head on a swivel
like the rest of us. Good hunting.

James,
 
I used a 10-gauge red wire from the lug on the alternator to the -V post
on the battery, and a read 16-guage wire from the #1 (sense) spade on
the alternator to the -V post on the battery.  I then connected white
16-guage wire from the #2 spade on the alternator to the charging light
(the other side of which is connected to a white ignition wire).

You can check out my web page on that at
http://www.thelen.org/IIAAlternator.html

If you have problems with that URL, please let me know, as at least one
other person has had problems with it.

This wire should be connected to the small wire that comes from the dash
charge light(green I think). You will then be able to see if it is

Thank you to all who replied with advice regarding the replacement of
the crank shaft thrust washers in my '61 88.
The job went very well, just undid two bolts on the oil pump and then
two more bolts on the bearing cap (we won't mention the half a billion
nuts that hold the oil pan on) and that's it!

The new oversized washers slipped into place and now the crank is rock
steady!  And all for just $12.00 including a new pan (sump) gasket!

After digging around in the sludge at the bottom of the pan, I found the
twisted remains of the old washers.  Hopefully the new, much thicker
ones will last a bit longer.

The engine serial number should have 8 digits and a suffix letter. 8:1
compression ratio was introduced around 1969, so an A suffix is
plausible for a "1970" LR, particularly if the year is based on

In the province of Ontario, $2000 (Cdn) gets you a Series II in running

it has 40k miles on it
runs like new
body and glass are good
interior mostly good - one seat was shot

AM/FM/CD
CB
PCS cell phone
Hella Map light (which you also sold me)

It's soon to have a GPS, too (it's really going to need it's own wiring

that.  The whole assembly comes out (snap connectors for electrics) for
access to the stuff under the hatch (only needed it for the speedo

Subject: Bonnet locks

Following the thread on bonnet locks, the "genuine" mechanism is little more 
than a standard hasp, but with the normally 'fixed' end bent 90 degrees to 
fit the structural brace at the front edge of the bonnet.  One of the fixing 
points is one of the existing rivets that has to be removed; the other is a 
sheet metal screw/pop rivet into the brace.  The part that actually holds 
the lock is affixed to the breakfast and covered by the hasp when closed.  
Cheers

Simple.  Look at the head at a point closest to the carb.  If there is a 
raised, square boss, it's an 8:1.  (If you clean off the funk, you'll see an 
"8" stamped there.)  If the head is level like the rest of the casting it's 
a 7:1, though if you skim a 7:1 a time or two, you'll get an 8:1.  Cheers

Subject: Drop Arm Removal Suggestions

Hi all,

Getting back to the topic, I'm trying to remove the drop arm from a SIII LHD
steering box.  I have removed the box with arm from the support bracket.  I
have tried a gear puller and flattened out the end. I have tried drifting the
rocker shaft out of the arm but no luck.  Do I have to resort to taking this
to the machine shop and having it pressed out?

	I've already made a downpayment for a Land Rover Discovery ES 1998,
authomatic, with two air bags and leather seats. The dealer tells me it is not
possible to get that vehicle in White colour. Is that correct? If you cannot
answer that question, could you refer me to another e-mail?
Thanks for your time!

<< 1.  Are the Solex rebuild kits really available?

I'm not sure if the Solex in a LR is the same as one in a BMW2002, but I
bought a rebuild kit off of the shelf at a local foreign car parts house.
My Landy has a Weber in it.
 
 2.  How difficult is rebuilding the Solex?
  >>
Rebuilding the Solex was my first "mechanical" endeavor. I was but a mere pup
and I did the whole thing in 1.5 hours. Piece of cake, but clean everything
really well. I went through two can of carb and choke cleaner two razors and
a tooth brush. ALL old gasket material needs to be removed.

Good luck

Barnett, 

If it is a BSROA event and not open to others, then you should
not be using this public forum to advertise it. (apologies accepted :-)

Not to piss off any of your fellow club members, the reasoning for this
reqeust goes like this:

The I'll ask you to kindly keep these private matters off the
LRO mailing lists.  This is not a public forum for private business,
be it of commercial nature or not.

You really ought to use a private list if don't want others to participate.

You'll notice other announcments here are for public invitations,
not private ones.

Give the PC some air! Try a Plexiglas case with a mechanism for
circulating the air. It doesn't have to be a fan just enough holes to
allow cool air in. I'm assuming you have a laptop of course and in my
experience they will happily lock up when things get too warm for their
liking, i.e. the processor heats up too much. As for the other bits
requiring waterproofing I can't help I'm afraid as I have a diesel with
a snorkel and (when I finally go in) wet feet presumably!

Good luck!

Andy.

Subject: Help???Confused about wiring--more details

Everyone,
Just thought I should explain a bit more...it is a delco alternator I am
mounting and the white wire is labeled R (resistence?) and the red wire is
labeled F (field?).  I know I need to bypass the voltage regulator, as the
new alternator has an internal regulator...I need to know how to connect the
new alternator...what wire is connected where and do I use the existing
generator wiring???

First off, get yourself a walnut dashboard.

Then go to the nearest ship chandler's - they sell swiveling drink holders
in stainless that work well.

Barring that, an old fire-extinguisher mount screwed to the front of the
bulkhead might work...

Subject: Re: Help!!!! Confused about wiring!!!

First off, you're a bit confused on the wires..... (no biggie - we all have
our days...<grin>)

There are three leads coming from a Delco internally-regulated alternator -
the large post on the back, and a red and white wire coming from a 2-lug
connector on the side.

The large lug is the charging output - the connection on this one is
obviuous. The other two are respectively the sense lead (the red one) and
the warning light lead (the white one).

The sense lead should be run to a lug on the fusebox and not to the output
lug on the alternator. The reason for this is voltage drop - if you sense
the output voltage right at the alternator it's not compensating for the
losses in the wiring between the alternator and the fuse block.

The warning light lead goes to the wire that was once connected to the old
voltage regulator, but is now free and runs to the charging warning lamp on
your panel.

Take a look at www.off-road.com\OVLR - under Al Richer's section you'll
find a thorough tutorial on swapping your genny for an alternator
(including mounting info...).
