The first thing I checked was the fuse because both the right and left were not working, it wasn't burnt. Second, I checked the drivers side bulb, it wasn't burnt. Using "The Club" I wedged the brake down to check them again and saw that the third upper brake light was working. By the way the parking lights also work so how can the socket be damaged.

Wedge the pedal down and check the voltage at the lights with a meter. Also, check the grounding to the sockets to make sure that the ground side is actually connected to something.

From: Andy Phillips <AnPi@norsk-data.co.uk> Subject: RE: Brake lights Date: Tue, 6 Jan 1998 13:36:06 -0000 The first thing to do is change both bulbs for known working bulbs. If they don't work either then you know its a power problem. (And you have the correct number of replacement lower brake bulbs!) Next follow the wiring back and see where the lower wiring and upper wiring join together (assuming they do). Now you know the size of the cabling you have to check. My brake light problems started off with only the left light working in tail light mode and by changing the brake light unit (the socket the bulb sits in) I brought both left and right bulbs back to life. The problem was thus in the unit as I had already checked the cabling and earth point and fuses. At some stage I plan to change the rest of the units as they are all similarly corroded and all the same age. Probably the next time the electrics go mad . . . My point about the electrics is don't panic and *do* attack the problem systematically! I know very little about electrics and managed to fix my wiring fault by doing the above.

From: David Brown - Graphics Specialist ~SRP~ E-mail: debrown@srp.gov PAB219 (602)236-3544 - Pager:6486 External (602)275-2508 #6486 Pers. E-mail: rovernut@hotmail.com If you're on the "mendo" list, please respond directly to me, I'm not subscribed to that list (no time). Hello great Rover lovers... (Hey! That sounds rather provocative!) I have a '71 IIa that hasn't been licensed in almost 2 years (long, slow, gearbox rebuild) that has a problem passing local emissions. I don't have the exact numbers with me, but the area that failed was in the idle test (tickover): 1500 HC when 500 HC is the maximum. Also, when you put your hand over the exhaust you can feel a fairly frequent (but not steady) miss, and sucking. 2-3 times/second. As I recall, you can't notice it doing this when reving the engine. Obviously, the idle is pretty rough, but not extremely so. I have replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, carburetor, and checked the points. Valve clearance checked and ok. All valves (rocker arms) appear to move the same, and seem ok. Compression is good: 117-120 dry, and 125 "wet." (oil) No apparent vacuum leaks. Distributor (dizzy) doesn't have excessive play when I try to wiggle it at the points lobes, and vacuum advance moves when I suck on the tube. No noticeable collapses in the exhaust pipe. The carburetor worked great on my 109, (now sold.) Dwell is fairly steady, at 60. (Admittedly, I have a 25+ year old dwell meter). The distributor is pointing differently than the 109 did, and the timing marks on the pulley are nowhere near lined up to the indicator mark, (Around 90 degrees towards the bottom) but the timing seems to be ok, gets worse when I turn the distributor left or right. (Could the distributor just be set a tooth or two off? Or would the chain be set wrong?) Where does your #1 plug wire "point" to on the cap? Mine is facing the #2 spark plug, as I recall. Other symptoms: very week power, (even for a Rover!) top speed is BARELY 50 on the flat road, more of 35 on ANY kind of incline. This is with the throttle floored. I have checked the throttle linkage and it is good (getting gull throttle). Starts right up - easily. Gas milage (not actually checked) is estimated at around 10 mpg. No excessive oil use or smoking. I used to be able to at least keep up with VW vans with my 109, but with this one, I can't keep up with ANYTHING, except maybe the bicyclist along the roadway. Acceleration is extremely slow. 1/4+ mile to get to around 40mph. (Small, "street" type tires.) What could this be??? Sticking valve? Weak valve springs? Anything else??? Bad fuel pump/pressure (for weak power)? What's the easiest fix? Valve spring spacers? Risoline oil treatment? Engine flush? How can I test to see what's wrong? Please, Please help!!! I really NEED to get this running and licensed. My other car is flat worn out and beat to a pulp. (Not a 4WD either!)

Per the instructions the grease is used on the sealing cups *outside* of the cylinder (wheel or master). I believe it also said not to let the grease come in contact with surfaces that the brake fluid will touch (i.e. internal parts). As for the scoring, I picked up a small cylinder hone at the local auto parts store for $3 - $4 US. Much more uniform than sandpaper I'd imagine. use brake fluid to lubricate the hone while it's running. (It's drill powered) hope this helps. tew Ps helpful hint #381, I lost the cap to the reservoir, Turns out the cap from a gas can is a perfect fit. might get you home without sloshing fluid on your perfectly restored bulkhead. ;) ------------------------------[ <- Message 17 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980107 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

The rubber grease is red or tan, and in a paper or foil tube in some kits. All it is, is thiiiick brake fluid. Use LMA if your hands are tres clean. Better yet, use gloves, even if only for your hands' sake. It used to be available in bigger tubes. I'm still using out of the tube I bought back in the late seventies. Lifetime supply, I guess.

You should be able to see two tangs, like dog ears, bent toward each other. after you unbend them, and clean everything below, put the contact parts back on, but this time bend the tangs the *other* way.

First: This is no commercial add. A friend of mine sells his LR101 (for those who ignore it: that's sort of= a forward control). It's one of the very last built (around 1979 I believe)= and has the very rare radio body (closed hard top) but no more military radio equipment. Engine is the original carburated V-8, it's left-hand-drive, 38.000 genuine km's (about 21.000 miles), overdrive, ver= y short axle ratio (5.?), 12 VOLTS and STANDARD electric parts (not this expensive military stuff) and everything in good working order with a straight body and no dammage. Also it's fully equipped (shovels, axe, hit= ch etc). It's very recently gone through our technical inspection, it's road= registered with plate LR101 and can be driven as is for any distance (whatever this means on a Land-Rover...). The last few years it was store= d in a dry barn and only driven a few days every year. Some spares go also with the car. The location for the moment is in LUXEMBOURG, EUROPE. = Asking price is said to be around 7000 US-$ or 3500 =A3 ONO. He sells it because his pregnant wife can't climb inside any more :-) . Shipping can be arranged worldwide, as can be any optional equipment you want on it (diff locks, stainless exhaust, winch,?) Only serious inquiries please directly to me at 100770.1655@compuserve.co= m. For those interested I can also send pics of the car. ---ALAIN--- ------------------------------[ <- Message 27 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980107 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
