It now takes four or five turns to get the window up or down, with the winder down near your right (or left) ankle it can be awkward at times and not very quick. It looks like it would be an easy task to convert the door to a sliding window setup. Has anybody seen or heard of it being done?

Well, I don't have parabolic springs myself, but a fellow NLRK member has Santana parabolic springs on his 88" IIa, and he wrote a short piece in our club magazine this month. A quick summary: Ride is smoother, as the springs are softer. They are progressive, though, so they offer more resistance when they are compressed. Six weeks after mounting the springs his car has not sagged an inch. (My plain old leaf springs sagged about 1 1/2 inch during the first week after mounting) Body roll has not increased siginificantly, and axle articulation seems to have improved a bit. He has long (1-ton) shackles on the rear springs, and the rear axle wil sometimes twist a bit in turns, as the outer springs compress a bit. He (and I) believe this would be less noticable with shorter shackles. Anyway, a bit of four wheel steering probably helps on the turning radius. The springs look rather odd, they have only two or three leaves, and have two-inch spacers between them on the ends. He's very happy with them. They were difficult to obtain though, he bougth them from a Dutch company. I can find the name if there's any ineterest.

[snip] Actually, the proper term is double-declutching. The idea, on downshifts, is to briefly stop in neutral during the shift, with the clutch engaged, to rev the engine so that the speeds of the two gears which are about to be engaged will match. To do this, as you are braking, you declutch (push the pedal down), shift into neutral, release the clutch pedal so that the engine is connected to the input shaft and its gears, stab the trottle (with your right foot on the brake but angled so that the toe of the foot can mash the throttle pedal without taking the foot all the way off the brake--thus the term "heal-and-toe downshift") to rev the engine a bit (1,000 RPM or so), then, as the revs start falling, declutch again and engage the next lower gear at the engine speed that matches the speed the engine had enjoyed before the shift, releasing the clutch pedal and continuing to brake. Now, I know that this sounds as if it'd take several minutes to perform but when you get the hang of it, it's as natural and seamless as any other shift. Due to long years of driving a Series II then a run of IIAs, I usually still double-declutch when driving my SIII. How do you know when the speeds are matched? By looking at your tach :^} Seriously, you'll find that you know by feel, sound, whatever, and in no time at all you'll be impressing all your neighbors that you knew Tazio Nuvolari.

The written description of how to double clutch is fairly straightforward. I am not sure how to describe "correct" technique since it is something that you have to get a feel for doing. The way I learnt to do it was driving without using the clutch pedal. (I've actually been forced to do this twice when the clutch cable broke on two different cars.) After a quick touch of the gas in neutral, feel as the revs fall and it will slip into gear. It should not crunch. As I recall, it is a tad more difficult shifting down and you should not shift down to reduce the engine speed. Perhaps the problem downshifting may be caused by your shifting down as part of the engine braking. I think if you heel-and-toe that may reduce the crunching. Perhaps a more experienced user can give a better or more correct answer.

I am new, as you must have already concluded, and I live in Southern California, USA. I currently own a 1995 Range Rover County LWB, with Epsom Green on the outside, and Light Sorrell on the inside. I thoroughly love this vehicle, albeit some very frustrating problems. I purchased this vehicle new on Dec 12, 1994, and since then I have had some persistent and annoying problems come and go, and come back. I have an oil leak from the center differential i believe, and if you kneal down and look under the vehicle it is visible. I have pointed this out to the dealer, and they claim to have "resealed" this, and "replaced" that. To this day that drip persists. The light that illuminates the climate control system is very fussy. On some occations it lights up, and some times it doesn't. After a few skilled taps <g>, it lights back up sometimes. The most embarrassing of all problems, is the squeak in the rear seat clamps. The folding rear seats lock into a latch, and when the rear seats are occupied, they make an annoying noise, and also very abasing. The last problem (yes I know I am sounding ridiculous by now), is the squeak the sub-woofer makes when playing music. It also is very aggitating. I love this car. I would never trade it in for anything other than another Range Rover or Land Rover products. If only these problems would be fixed, then I could be content, rather than being embarrassed to take clients out to lunch. I guess no one is perfect. Anyone out there relate? Any comments?
