Subject: The CAR GUYS
How many were listening Saturday morning when the Car Guys on NPR suggested
that a woman sell her 89 Range Rover for $11,000?
The woman complained that her husband wanted her to trade it for a J**p
because he couldn't fit into the small accommodations of her Range Rover.
Then the Cambridge brothers suggested that Range Rover is a vehicle of only
middling quality. The caller described a few minor defects in her
newly-acquired vehicle that the dealer had fixed with relative ease, but
then apparently thought that her running out of gas was a curse from
Roverdom, caused by the alleged poor gas mileage.
There is no accounting for bad taste. :-}

With my generator system - the ammeter showed that the battery was charging. After I installed the alt., it would only show how much current was being drawn on the system - it was always negative - (I did reverse the three wires at the back of it.). Since the car ran much better than with the generator, I assumed all was fine, and it was for a few months... Now my alternator is baked. I have occasionally used 35 amps total - from the "43amp" alternator, but I didn't think that this would be too much for it. Is it? Are these problems somehow related?

Are these problems somehow related? > Thanks for your advice - Peter Kaskan What do you mean by baked? There are a number of things that go wrong with alternators and each had a different cause. A 35 amp continuous load could be too much for a 43 amp alternator but failure can be caused by things like electric welding or bad batteries or incorrect boosting of other vehicles. To get your ampmeter to read as it used to you will have to change the wireing a bit so that the meter is connected to the battery "down stream" of all the other connections. Clear as mud !!

Set the Camshaft Keyway to 2:00 NOTE: This being an EARLY II-A engine, there is NO "P" mark, as stated in the Haynes manuel. All it has is an Inner Sproket Spline-to-Camshaft Keyway mark. Using as reference the mechanical drawing in the Haynes manuel that depicts the location of the outer "P" Mark in relation to the Inner Spline Mark, I projected the Inner Spline Mark to the corresponding tooth then counted back (counterclockwise) eleven (11) teeth and marked that tooth "P." I then aligned this mark/tooth with the bolt hole in the block, as instructed in the haynes manuel. Does anyone see anything wrong with this set up? Yes, everything. The later set up utilizes parts which have been machined to datums, your older parts have not. I tried the reverse on my recent rebuild, I have a spare timing wheel with the P mark so I followed the instructions for the later engine, then checked it by the old method and found that the timing was way off. I recommend that you use a dial indicator to set the timing as indicated in the LR manual, Haynes manuals are %$#@ and not very accurate, Bill Leacock ( Limey in exile ) NY USA. 88 and 109 LR's and 89 RR ------------------------------[ <- Message 7 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980209 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Would > certainly appreciate it. Call around and see if your local auto parts places can get them. Unless you find a place that does lots of Weber work, you won't find one that has jets in stock. If there is a "speed and custom" (aka hot-rod) shop, they probably can get them for you. I'd be suprised if your favorite Land-Rover parts place couldn't get them for you. Failing that, you can get them one of the official Weber importers. david > Mitch and the Red Dinosaur > ** 'lro' mailing list information from 'majordomo@Land-Rover.Team.Net' > ** REPLY TO LIST at: lro@Land-Rover.Team.Net > ** lro pages: http://WWW.Land-Rover.Team.Net/ ------------------------------[ <- Message 9 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980209 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Subject: landrover conversions
hi everyone im looking for more info regarding tho scotties
conversions!.the conversion that i have at the moment mates a chevy
engine to a landrover gear box.is this a scotties conversion? it was
obtained by me from a scrapper in 1990.the conversion was put into the
scraper in 1978,and run for one year,it was a inline six cylinder
chev.the main reason im asking this is because im looking to trade it
for the conversion that adapts a chev transmission to the rover transfer
box{ my years in the military has given me a bad clutch leg},therefore
im forced to either buy a north american 4x4 {when hell freezes over}or
convert my 67 109 to a automatic.if anyone out there is interested in a
trade let me know {masmith@barint.on.ca}

From: DONOHUEPE@aol.com Date: Mon, 9 Feb 1998 01:09:56 EST Subject: LR Milage & High Altitude Ralph Bradt wrote of poor milage with a weber carburetted 88. Ralph: Sounds poor to me too. At higher altitudes, you need a lean mixture to offset the reduced air pressire found at altitude. Most carburetted cars are built to run at or near seal evel, so we need to modify them by using a main jet with a smaller orifice. One of the best ways to find the right jet is to work with a friendly garage that has exhaust gas analysis instrumentation. Show up with a collection of different size jets to experiment with. A side benefit is that you will end up with a well tuned engine that should meet emission requirements (essential in Denver). Weber jets can often be found at speed shops, and VW parts houses. With a well tuned 2.25 engine in the heavy Dormobile (with Rochester carb) I can ususlly get 16 to 17 mpg on the road.

My thinking was that if it was too delicate to put in the post, what were the chances of me being able to fit it without breaking!! I went for the electrical option, although this is meant to be less accurate. The electrical (civvie) temp gauges and senders are the same as the oil. Well, I found the sender was a little narrower, but some PTFE and orange gunge made a good seal. If you you choose this route, a 24v system will need a little voltage regulator (which I built myself).

Subject: A question to the diesel gurus (and probably novices)
Hello all,
A friend of mine has restored a 2.25 diesel 109. He has encountered
a problem and asked me if I can offer any advice. Since I am totally
ignorant about diesels, I am consulting the list for some hints.
The problem with the truck is that it behaves as if the engine is
extremely underpowered, somewhat like 20 to 30 hp. She can't climb
a very light incline with 2'nd high and 3'rd low. My petrol 2.25
can easily climb the same road section in 4'th high. A while ago
somebody had said that the 0-100km acceleration in diesel LR's is
measured with the calendar. With this truck it is literally true,
[oli] The Landrover 109 Diesel can=B4t reach 100 Km/h so the 0-100km
acceleration is marked with " - "
[oli]( It=B4s only possibel downhill with the Police behind you and
overdrive fitted)
because you can't shift into fourth even on flat road sections.
My friend is clearly making a blunder here, but what?
The engine has been rebuilt and the injectors have been tested and
cleaned
professionally. Engine sound is normal, idle is OK. Lucas CAV is
inscribed on the injection pump, so that is a potential problem source.
He has actually tested the truck with two Lucas pumps but the
behaviour has not changed. Also he (and I) don't know what the
valve clearances should be. Any info on these two items will be
appreciated. Apart from these two, what else might be causing the
above problem and what to check next?
[oli] is the full throttle screw (on the pump) correct adjusted. Have
you checked that the
[oli] fuel system is free and not blocked ? (for example with a direct
connected jerrycan ?)
Best regards,
Semih Bingol
