(starting about '77, my guess). Why not just run a wire direct from the fuse panel (port bulkhead)? It is good to see this car mentioned. Seems like I never see them in the US anymore, gone to dust everyone. BTW, which of the two vehicles, Series LR or Spitfire, is the more cantankerous, unreliable, curse rendering?

Subject: Re: Season's Greeting
Dear Daniel & Julia,
Thanks very much for the Seasons Greetings. However well
intentioned, your triple dose of large, repeat files on the LRO and RRO
lists tied my computer up for an hour. Part of my work involves looking
though a variety of lists so I'm FORCED to endure the wait so I can get the
other mail mixed in with all your repeats.
I understand that accidents can happen (I'm probably more clueless
than most when dealing with 'puters) and I probably would have let it go
without saying anything (being on the list teaches patience and
forgiveness) but chuckling about Daniels "mistake" in a later note was a
handfull of salt in my wound. I winced. I suspect you will endure a bit of
a toasting from the flamemeisters on several front, so I won't add
anything. Please try to be more careful and consider that sending large
scanned images on the list, unbidden, is looked upon by a some listers as
an annoyance. Nuff said.

The series IIa has a sort of spacer ring on the springs for the release bearing to push on but the bearing pushes directly on the spring with the series III. If you use a Series III type in a IIa the clutch will not release and if you use a Series IIa type in the series III the bearing will be in contact all the time resulting in premature failure of the bearing and possibly clutch slip.

Martin; When you find a Defender for $2,000 you must do two things.
1) Do not drive it, instead, call me right away, and tell no-one.
2) Tell no-one, call me right away, don't drive it.
I'm just looking after your interests, and will come and take away the
offending vehicle.

When you've done that, lever the bottoms into position against the stops. The first one is usually fairly easy but getting the second one located is a b*****d. I use a 12" pinch bar lubricated with a strong dose of good anglo-saxon expletives. My (genuine) S/III repair and ops manual says that the springs *must* be installed on the inside but does not say why. I suspect though that putting the springs on the outside could potentially pull the pad locating lugs out leading to a complete loss of breaking, so I would not risk it.

They're located in the Millbrook area of Southampton, in the UK. Unfortunately I am on the US west coast at the moment so don't have the exact address or phone number handy - if you have trouble finding it let me know and I'll post it to the list (please send e-mail to ricky@drift.demon.co.uk rather than to this address). I bought paint from them about a year ago and if I remember correctly the price was something like 12 pounds base charge plus 6 pounds per litre of paint. I did send this to the list a couple of days ago but I never saw the append in the digest, so here goes again. Apologies if you get it for a second time, and apologies for all the disclaimers this will get wrapped in....

From: Rick_Turner@europe.notes.pw.com Date: Thu, 18 Dec 97 10:43:42 GMT Subject: RE: sliding door windows Interestingly, my 1992 (ex-military) 130 still has the sliding windows and series style doors. Obviously the parts were still being produced then and were being fitted to military vehicles, even though the civilian ones had changed. My 130 has a standard truck cab (not a crew cab) so these doors should fit a 110.

(Except that the original poster was in the UK?) So to let folks know, this is a very derogatory term for a homosexual in the US; since this is an international list, we should avoid using it in any potentially ambiguous context if we want to avoid losing the input of a lot of list members.

I use water to clean brakes up and the same could be used for a clutch system. Brake fluid washes away very well (as does all the junk behind a brake drum). When you've finished, flush the clutch system with methylated spirits (alcohol) to absorb the water. If you really wanted to, you could flush then with brake fluid. I don't think this will work with silicone fluids.

The physical layout of the leaf sprung system sort of limits the articulation. I believe that the biggest improvement is in ride quality (soaks up the small bumps in the road a bit better) and the fact that they seem to be of better quality than the junk British Springs turns out these days.
