Hi
I converted my 1980 SIII SWB to propane about 6 years ago.  With LPG

WA(Western Australia) the changeover paid for itself in  less than a year
and it runs on LPG with no significant loss of power, but a friend who has
a Disco says the his power loss is quite noticeable

I used to have a mixture of 80/90, water, mud and clay silt in my diff, 
ran flawlessly, changed it every 6 months though, usually when the diff 
was frozen solid! Now I've got snorkels on the vents, solved the 
water/mud problem, but how will I ever know if I run outta 80/90? ;-)

Subject: Supercharging a Land Rover??

There was some supercharging info on the MG list so I am including them here.

I am rebuilding a '66 Land Rover.  The engine needs a complete workover, and 
I am tearing down now (the crank is already out for a re-grind).  I was 
planning on having the head machined to a 9:1 compression ratio (along with 
hardened seats etc.), getting a better performance cam, and buying 
Automotive Components' performance package that includes a new intake 
manifold, muffler, and a 1 3/4 SU set-up.  I got to thinking, this is going 
to cost a little upwards of $1200 just for the performance parts.  Then I 
remembered Land Rover made the Tdi turbo deisel, and that my stock set-up 
provides a 7:1 compression ratio, which would be about ideal for turbo- or 
super-charging.  Has anyone done this, and how were the results??  I'd still 
need to have the hardened valves put in, and I'd assume I'll still need 
better exhaust, carburation, and a performance cam.  Anyone have any 
thoughts on this??

Please respond to me in person, as I am not on the land rover mailing list.

Thanks

This a bit difficult to explain but here goes.
  At the base of the bit that you turn is a square hole with a plastic
bit sticking out. Pry out the plastic and pull it round the
circumference of the hub and a plastic strip will appear, rather like a 
cable tie. With this removed the outer end will come off and let you get
at the rest.
    it has been a while since I did one so I hope this is clear enough.

I think that it may be caused by several of our normal folks not having
their utilities restored yet. Just a thought.

Subject: Re: Fairly Locking Hubs....

One removes them quite simply.

You tell me, and I send you two drive plates like the ones on the rear axle
to replace them with. You then purchase new axle felts, hub caps and cotter
pins and perform the swap, following the directions in your manual under
"Axle Shaft Removal and replacement".

Once you've got everything buttoned up with the new drive pates, you then
pack up the freewheel hubs and send them to me...

Quite seriously, all you need to do is remove the freewheel hubs from the
ends of the axles and put on drive plates like the ones on the rear axle.
Top the oils back up afterwards and you're golden.

If you want a set of replacement drive flanges, email me...

G'day all

A friend and I have just put up a web page of Land Rover pictures
featuring the mad cap antics of a few Toronto area Rover owners and we
invite you all to come take a look.

The photos have been taken over the last few years at a couple of our
favorite locations and show our aluminum friends in some rather
precarious situations, some of which earned this gang the reputation as
"the people most likely to do silly things with Land Rovers in the
water". (LROI Nov. 93) Those of you who attended the OVLR Birthday party
in '97 and receive their newsletter will already have had a sneak peek
at a few of the photos, but there are plenty more.

This is just the beginning. We have many more photos waiting to be added
in the coming months, but please, come take a look now, I'm sure you'll
be glad you did. Just go to...

From: Faye and Peter Ogilvie <ogilvi@hgea.org>
Subject: Re: Fairey Locking Hubs....

There is a flat head screw in the side of the large actuating knob/hub,
remove this screw and carefully pry out what looks like a nylon washer
underneath.  It is actually the end of a retaining strap that wraps around
the inner circumference of the hub and holds it on.  Pull this strap out
and the hub/knob will come off.  There is a large diameter o ring that acts
as the oil seal inside the hub.  Be careful not to lose this or cut or
otherwise ruin this when putting them back together.    Unbolt it like a
drive flange once the hub is removed and you are done.  RN sells a rebuild
kit which consists of a new nylon retaining strap and the o ring if you
need it.

Dear Mr/Mrs Wolfe	

I would recomend you put a comprehensive list of what you are selling
together and send it to this same list titled For Sale. You may also want
to go to www.solihullsociety.org and post a similar list under the
classified section. It's free.

John
