From: AKBLACKLEY@aol.com Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 11:39:25 -0400 (EDT) Subject: Other Tires (Radial Rover RT) Another tire to consider is the Dunlop Radial Rover RT. I have these on my 83 RR (225-75/16). They are very similar to BFG Trac Edge, but easier to find and a little cheaper. They are an outstanding tire, quiet (well I cant hear them over the gearbox whine anyway :>) ), ride well, but also very good in the mud. I used them off road last weekend for the first time at the BRLRC rally. Conditions varied from deep mud to dry loose rock. They performed great under all conditions. Havent used them in the snow, but thats coming all too soon. There are specs. & pic.s at the Tire Rack web page (http://www.tirerack.com/tires/dunlop/du_rovrt.htm), where I first saw them, but I actually bought them locally. Cheers. Andy Blackley.

I want something like a Nissan that I can get from a wreck so I get all the little bits and pieces. What is the most common replacement in the U.K.? I can make anything here like an adapter but need to get inof on what others have used. Changed to narrow if you are wondering. For those seeking tyres, we just put on 4 Cooper 650R16 this morning and they cost $714 Canadian installed with tax. They are the Discoverer STT line. Nice tyres. No additonal noise and the ride is good. How close is this to factory size in 69, and how close with the speedometer be if this is not quite factory? Has anyone found a common cause for overdrive scream other than the bolt touching the body fix we went through last year? We can fix anything if we only knew what actually is causing the whine.

Same goes if you have a winch. The X9 on my D90 has a sheet stating <BR>that it draws a whopping 454 amps at full rated pull/stall. <BR> I just added an ammeter and a voltmeter to my 101 and they work just <BR>swell. Most ammeters are either +-60 amps or +-30 amps. Now unless you're <BR>hanging a dozen or so Hella lights on the truck, it's pretty tough to exceed <BR>30 amps, much less 60 amps under normal conditions. Of course a dead short <BR>will exceed this, but in that case it won't matter whether you have a 107 amp <BR>or a 17 amp alt, you have to fix the short. The 3.5L V8 on the 101 has the <BR>standard Lucas 16ACR alternator which puts out a staggering 34 amps. I used <BR>a +-60 amp meter. It shows a -8 amp drain on it and about 10-11 volts till <BR>the field energizes when it flips over to a +10-12 amp charge for minute or <BR>two when it gradually drops down to near zero charge at +14 volts. <BR>You shouldn't have any trouble with your new alt cooking your meter under <BR>normal conditions. Abnormal conditions...won't matter what your alt puts out, <BR>you'll be pulling over quickly to figure out what's wrong.

(See, I'm not all bad, I'm just digitized <BR>that way.) First, you have to realize that what is generically referred to <BR>as "stainless steel" can be any one of several alloys. Second, while it's <BR>true that "stainless" (usually) won't corrode, as in rust, it can have a <BR>galvanic reaction with an unlike metal--like aluminum. It's the aluminum <BR>that's going to become damaged, not the fastener. In some cases this <BR>reaction is worse than the reaction with mild steel. <P>Some say to fasten body panels with SS, some say it's the kiss of death. My <BR>plan (when I finally get around to it) will be to replace some of those <BR>bolts with stainless, isolate the heads with nylon washers, and then watch <BR>them carefully. <P>However, I do use stainless for a number of things on the truck--and will <BR>continue to do so. What is your specific concern Jeff? Where (or into what) <BR>specifically do these bolts mount into? Galvanic reaction is really only a <BR>major problem where there's dampness, especially salty dampness, thrown <BR>into the mix. (Basically, you inadvertantly build a battery.) With a <BR>minimum of precaution (a coating of anti-sieze or silicon for the threads <BR>and a nylon washer under the head) you should be able to isolate the unlike <BR>metals and use stainless safely. <P>$140 does sound like a lot for that kit, but then again the time it would <BR>take you to assemble one is worth something. I often pay the price for <BR>convenience. Hell, I just paid US$6 for a wheel stud and another US$2.75 <BR>for a lugnut because it was the easy way to get these parts.

There was the lady at the gas <BR>station who ran up excitedly, saying: "Hi...I used to have one of these <BR>back in the 70's...I really love these...Can I have a look inside?" She <BR>then proceeded to tell me about some of the adventures she and her <BR>family had in thier Rover years ago. She gave her SIIa to her daughter, <BR>who now has her own family and still drives the Landy! <P>I met two Rover owners on the road, one with a Alpine White 1997 D90SW <BR>just like mine.

Everything should work properly except the ammeter (which will work opposite from what you are used to). The fuel gauge will work as usual, whatever that means. You may want to switch the little coloured plastic things on the dashboard contacts, though, in case you ever use them. If you have a radio, it is probably a very old one and has a switch to switch it from + to -. Don't forget to switch contacts on the coil, the engine will run much smoother.

From: lenny@fof.coracle.com (Lenny Warren) Hi there all, Just ordered the petrol cap locking hasp for my ser 3 88". Thing is, it fits under 2 screws at the cap. I tried to undo the screws thinking there were captive nuts below them, uh oh....... NOT!!! The screw seems to have a nut behind it and I can't get to it. How do I get it off, and more to the point HOW do I tighten it up again?????? Please answer direct, as my digest seems to be playing up!! Thanks folks!!

Date: Sat, 18 Oct 1997 20:50:12 -0700 (PDT) From: Mike Macdonald <mkmacd@seanet.com> Subject: Alternator Help My thanks to all who gave me advice earlier when I started the installation of the alternator. After taking it all in, I thought I had it, but alas! Well, I thought I had things in the charging circuit set right - all lights worked, the ammeter registered a drain when lights were on, and everything came on when it should have (save for the charging light), but at the end of a couple of days of (finally) tooling around in my now operational Series 'I' I got back in and tried to start it - no dice. So, I now know that the charging system ISN'T working. I had noticed all along that the charging light wasn't working, but didn't think anything of it more than maybe I needed to check the wiring connections. When I first started things with the ammeter in place (aftermarket model, the original is shot) I didn't see the needle move to the '+' side of the meter, but it did stay centered until I turned on the lights (then it registered '-'), so I thought I was okay. Some background....the Rover came with an alternator, but it's not a Lucas as best I can tell. The stock ignition/light switch (as well as the rest of the dash) was in a box, and everything was dis-assembled. I have a generic, parts store replacement ignition switch in place. The alternator was bench tested before installation and according to the parts store folks it's working fine. The battery appears to be fairly new. Anyway, the diagram below is how I have things wired. Do I have a problem with: a) the way I have things wired? b) just the fact that the warning light doesn't work? (FYI - the light and the socket are operational, it's just that the light doesn't come on when the ignition switch is turned on.) c) something else? One other thing, the connection labeled '?' on the alternator (below) ISN'T marked 'battery', '+', or anything else, but it's the only other connection and is a big thick screw on lug. | | +--|------|---+ | Acc Startr| | | | Ignition | ---------- | Switch | |Chg Warn| | | | Light | | Batt Ign | |-|---|--| +--|------|---+ | | | +----------------+ +---------------------| | +-------> to coil | | | +------------------------------------+\ | / \ | / \ | +--------+-----------------+ + + + | | | | | | --|-------|-- | +-----+ | | -|--------|- | - + | -|-|- | -|---|- | ?

If I read your ASCII art right (and I think you get a prize of some sort for attempting to do a wiring diagram in asciiart...) the "? FLD" terminal wasn't hooked up, right? It is the field and it needs to have current to make the alternator produce a charging current. If I remember, the field wire is what the regulator uses to regulate the alternator's output. For some reason, I've seen that externally regulated alternators sometimes had a switch in the field line to "turn off" the alternator and reduce the load on the engine for periods when battery/ies didn't need charging. Check how your alternator is regulated (internally or externally) then determine what to connect to the FLD terminal. I think it isn't "bad" to run the alternator without a FLD wire, since it is in effect only dead or sleeping... Maybe that's what your alternator needs... --pat. 93 110 ------------------------------[ <- Message 18 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 971019 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Try this: Use a test lamp with the clip at the +V terminal of the battery and touch the Fld connector on the alternator. If that doesn't light the lamp, then go get a Delco Alternator ($<100), and we'll tell you how to mount it. Since the charge warning lamp indicates the status of the fan belt, too, it's impertive that it work, as a busted fan belt means you're no longer pumping water, either. So, that is REALLY IMPORTANT. Alan Richer and John O., and TeriAnn have done it without a special bracket, I used the no-longer-available BP bracket. John O. now has a bracket he fabricated. I also think Bob B. may have fabricated a bracket. If the charge warning light does work, then run heavy-guage wire directly from that Big Fat Lug on the Alternator directly to the +V terminal on the battery, and see if you charge then. You'll also need to debug the circuite from the charge warning lamp to the Fld connector on the alternator (I used Alan's method of a separate harness with a wire running all the way to the lamp). Good luck, and nice diagram!
