Other wise, get a new one and set the cracked one free. I like creative solutions more than the next person...but I do draw the line some where. It would work in an emergency but if you are near civilization. As an after thought... When I was young and starving in college, I did use power steering sealer to "fix" a leaky brake system in my Renault 8. It is amazing what you can do to a vehicle to keep it going. The brakes worked great when I sold it a year later. Works on clutch systems too. I do not recommend this procedure to any one else, ever...does that free me of liability?

From: "Steve Irwin" <irwin@fred.ifas.ufl.edu> Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 10:51:16 EST Subject: Idle/Stalling Problems First post to the list, after 1.5 years of lurking. I have a 1973 SIII 88 with Zenith carb. I have owned it for about a year. The weekend of Jan 24, I undertook a carb rebuild/cleaning. Replaced the jets, soaked carb body parts in cleaner, new gaskets, etc. Adjusted the float to the correct height based on Haynes. Rover ran great for a week. Went camping/mudding in next weekend. Rover ran great all weekend, no problems. About midweek, I changed the engine oil. Rover ran fine for about another week, then started stalling at lights. I have checked timing, compression, fuel output, vacuum leaks, etc. We have deduced that the idle decreases when braking; the harder the braking maneuver, the more idle decreases, and stalls faster. Does it sound plasuible that the fuel in the carb is sloshing forward, and starving the jets, as diagnosed by a friend and I in the car? The PO had the floats sitting a bit higher than before the rebuild. Plus, he also had no jets where two were supposed to be; I don't remember which ones. Another local Rover friend discounts the sloshing, and reccomends new points and condensers, and re-timing and re-adjusting carb settings. Any suggestions?

From: Paul Quin <Paul_Quin@pml.com> Subject: RE: Idle/Stalling Problems Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 08:58:47 -0800 Hi Steve, Does your beast have power brakes? The power brake diaphragm is 'powered' by vacuum from the intake manifold. By pressing the brake pedal, it is possible that you are introducing a vacuum leak to the intake. Try pressing the brakes hard while idling. One of my first cars was a 1974 Toyota Celica. For months, I was puzzled by disappearing brake fluid. No drips anywhere. Turns out that it was leaking out of the master cylinder and into the vacuum chamber and down the pipe to the intake to be burned up!

Not so old, it would seem. A local Rover owner who works at a government

choice for a super penetrating oil. Cheers

Date: Thu, 26 Feb 1998 16:59:34 -0500 From: "William L. Leacock" <wleacock@pipeline.com> Subject: LR diesels Prior to moving here I operated LR diesels in the UK for many years, primarily due to the cost of fuel. I also used one in club trials and comp safaris, even managed to pass an odd V8 on downhill stretches. The condition of the injectors is a critical element in the efficient operation. The injector is basically a pressure relief valve, when fuel pressure reaches 148 atmospheres the pressure moves a spring which allows fuel to spray into the combustion chamber. Over time the spring pressure can reduce, thus the fuel pressure is reached earlier and premature injection takes place, thus advancing the timing. Lower injection pressures also mean that the fuel is not properly atomised, the larger drops of fuel do not burn as efficiently in the combustion chamber. There is a pin in the injector nozzle which seals the fuel until it is moved. The pin wears, thus permitting fuel to dribble into the combustion chamber causing power loss and smoke. The above is a simplification of what is a very specialised process. The injector pump is driven by a worm gear off the camshaft, the high pumping loads of the pump load the gear teeth with the result that the teeth wear more on a diesel than the distributor drive gear on a petrol engine. This wear also affects the engine timing causing the injection to retard. In my experience the CAV fuel pump has a long life, provided, like all diesels that good quality, clean fuel is used and filters are changed on a regular basis. It will last as long as the rest of the motor. Due to the high compression ratio of the LR diesel ( 22 ;1 ) bore wear becomes more critical than the petrol engine so they generally do not last as long between rebuilds. valve guides have a similar life to the petrol engine at around 80,000 miles.

The mounts we have have a anti vibration mount, that seams to work well! let me know if you want more info.

One question: Wouldn't attaching your laptop to a post bolted to your floor transmit too much vibration to what's still a fairly delicate box of transistors and glass? If I tried this, I put it on a big fluffy pillow on top of a second pillow on either my passenger seat or my passenger. > Neil "ask me about my psychelic, shattered ThinkPad display" Sheridan > 1984 Epson Valdocs computer > 1986 Toshiba T1100+ > 1989 Toshiba T5100 [ truncated by list-digester (was 16 lines)] > 1964 88 > (Baby, it's re-wired!) ------------------------------[ <- Message 27 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980227 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

I couldn't find a picutre of any 110 on their entire site.
Have you gotten any more info on this "loophole"?

Easily cured by money as they are supposedly not rebuildable and only cost a few hundred dollars. Clamp off the vacuum line to the brake boost and drive it. If the stalling stops, that is where the problem lies.

Subject: Points etc
It was a mild but wet day so Muddy went into the workshop to get a
proper fix of the brake line that broke on the way home from Winter
Romp. While the under side was exposed I replaced a transfercase gasket
that was leaking(surprise!). When she was back inthe ground I stripped
and cleaned the carb and put in a new set of points.....Then I got a
call from Revenue Canada. It was a nice Lady who said that if I didn't
submit my sales tax returns in 30 day she was going to lock me up and I
don't think it was for Kinky sex either :( So no more Land Rover fixing
till thats done
John and Muddy
