concerning Land Rover - starting with Series LR's, I'm sure -
Including pictures, wiring schemes, tech tips, etcetera?
Think about this carefully, It could take up all your spare time,
and you will end up handing over the car keys to your daughter....

probably very true.
If you really want to know the pros and cons of the conversion you
should contact Jeff Aronson, editor of the RN Newsletter. I am kind of bias
toward coils (obviously). He has logged what must be well over 150,000
miles in his SIIA 88 leaf sprung, and has spent quite a bit of time with
and around our coil 88s as well. He would probably have the best "driven
both" opinion that would not be bias one way or the other.

Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 08:58:20 -0500
I dodn't know if you have solved your overheating problem, there is a few
standard steps for checking the system. 1. Be shore the system is full.
2. Pressure test to check for leaks. (hoses
or head gasket)
3. I feel a 160 thermostat is to low. at
least 180.
----- 4. I would not trust any gauge other than a
hand held unit stuck in the top of the
rad. Run engine and bring to temp 180 or better. You should be
able to see the coolant moving if the waterpump is working .
5. If you feel that every thing with the
engine is in order ( thermostat
waterpump / no leaks ) I would be
getting my radiator flow tested
because if it has any restriction it will cause overheating.

Once again Land Rover comes through as a capable vehicle for transporting harmful wildlife out of the world of Man and back to the woods where it can run free and be happy. Last night I trapped a vicious, snarling and just plain mad grey squirrel that had taken up residence in the attic insulation. After careful consideration and much discussion, I decided to use a Havaheart trap baited with irresistable Jif peanut butter. It wasn't long before the intruder had taken the bait and was hopelessly caged. The squirrel was rolling and banging about in the cage and had managed to almost completely coat itself with the peanut butter bait, not to mention that it was chuffing, whistling, and pooping turds at a most astounding rate, either due to stress or the Jif, not sure. Anyway, it was mad. Lucky for us we had a vehicle at our disposal that was up to the task of carrying this wild beast back to its forest domain....Land Rover! Into the rear of the 109 went the subdued pest, and off to the woods we went. My fearless companion Sarah took charge of the release operation, and chose carefully a site that looked to be auspicious for the deed. In two bounds the squirrel was out of the cage and up the nearest tree, back in Mother Nature's bosom. Marlin Perkins would have been proud. With a parting wave we were back in the truck and headed off to new wildlife adventures with Land Rover!

Subject: Call for presentations for Greek Peak in August
Want to be a legend in your own time?
Got something to say, and think you can say it well?
Then do I have a deal for you!
I've been tasked with pulling together technical presentations for the 50th
Anniversary Get-Together at Greek Peak in upstate New York, and I'm looking
for presenters and subjects. We want to create a forum for sharing tech and
I don't care what it is, as long as it meets 4 basic criteria.
1. It has to be relevant to the Rover communities - not necessarily both
leaf and coil simultaneously.
2. You be able to present this to a group of folks without endangering them
or yourself.
3. Presentation can take place without expensive goodies, though I'm trying
to scavenge up some AV gear
4. It be non-commercial.
As it stands I have about a dozen presenters, with some of the subjects of:
Welding for beginners (with an emphasis on Rover repairs) (Chris Weinbeck)
Equipping your Range Rover for off-road excellence (by Mark Talbot)
How to live with a Series Rover as a daily driver (by Jeff Aaronson)
Expedition planning with a 101(with George Bull)
Electrical Repair basics (by Al Richer)
New Rover learning curve - how to avoid it (by Al Richer)
Storage solutions and Audio Installations for Series Rovers (with Jeff "My
stereo cost more than my 88"Berg)
Winching and Hi-Lift basics (by Dale Desprey of OVLR)
Ordering from the UK - When is it a good idea?
and so on...
At present, most of the items I have folks talking on are on Series
vehicles, or Series-related. I really want more coil-sprung specific or
general items - though any and all ideas are more than welcome.
This is your chance to get your ideas and knowledge out to a larger
community and make yourself a name in the process. You know you all have
good ideas and experience that can benefit other owners - all the way from
the "What's the yellow knob do?" new owner to the grizzled veterans of
Rover ownership.
Email me at aricher@lotus.com if you're interested - I'll do anything I can
to help you prepare.

Hi Paul,
I just read your posting to Bill and thought that I might add my 2 bits
worth(Canadian Equivalent to US .02 ) Have you tried a gravity bleed with
your brake system? It takes a little longer but I use the time to pull the
bleeder screws right out of the wheel cylinder and put on copious amounts of
anti-sieze goop, and you don't need a helper or any of those fancy brake
bleeding gimicky thingies.
Hope this helps.

Another, slightly less expensive solution to installing the rivets is to make a dolly, and pound them by hand. I only had to replace a dozen or so rivets, so I didn't want to invest too much. After I found the rivets, I also found a ball bearing with about the same radius. Take a chunk of steel, heat it up(red hot), then place the ball bearing on the heated steel and quickly give it a wack before it rolls away. I spent most of the time chasing the bearing, but once I made an initial dimple in the steel the bearing stayed put. Keep pounding the steel until the flat on the rivet is flush with the surface of the steel. This worked quite well for me, and only cost a couple of dollars. As for a European source for the rivets, there is a company called TIBNOR. I think it is a Swedish company, and I am pretty sure they have a store in Gothenburg. I recall having seen these rivets in that catalog. ------------------------------[ <- Message 19 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980312 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

O.K. sounds intriguing...what's the procedure to gravity bleed? So far I have replaced the master cylinder (CB type), brake pipes, wheel cylinders (with copious quantities of anti-seize on the nipples) & shoes. Adjuster cams seem ok as do the drums & flex hoses. I have tried pressure bleeding using the 'old bicycle innertube pressurizer trick' learned on this list. Worked well for the clutch system, but not much good on the brake side. I still want to use the technique of clamping closed all of the wheel cylinders that was in an issue of LRO a few months ago.

He didn't to give me hard numbers, since he wasn't sure of them, but he did tell me that classic forumla 96 RON (research octane, about 92 on the pump in the US) has a net calorifc content of about 45 MegaJoules/kg. MTBE --the major oxygenator -- has about 35 MJ/kg; ethanol 27 MJ/kg. The oxygenated gasolines seem to have about 42-43 MJ/kg, which is about 5%. If you are able to return your engine to burn the oxygenated fuels optimally, you will require more for the same power. However, since they burn more efficently the curve is not linear, and it is possible, but unlikely that some vechiles might do better. Reformulated gasolines do have lower emissions benzine and other aromatic hydrocarbons, but substanially higher formaldehyde and acetaldehyde emmisions. Both of these are named toxins under the Clean Air Act. The effects on "smog" are not well known. (There seems to be some varations depending on other conditions, but he didn't really know details.) Also, I am not sure if this came up here, or some where else, but white gas (Coleman Fuel) has a research octane of about 72. This is about 68 the way they mark the pumps in the US.

I'm just getting to the point of installing it now. There are some odd connectors on the ends of the wires leading to the instrument panel. They look almost like male spade connections but they are slightly bigger and with one side bent up, (sort of an L shape) with a small square hold in the middle. The connections on the instrument cluster itself are regular spade connections. The instrument panel appears to be from a newer SIIA vehicle, as it is painted black. (should be body colour for a '61 SII) What are these odd connections? Are they & their female counterparts still available? Should there be an intermediate instrument harness between them and the instruments? Should I just cut them off and go to crimp on connectors?

Date: Wed, 11 Mar 1998 21:14:42 -0500 From: Russ Burns <burns@ismi.net> Subject: Re: Bowls up I thought it was because they were on the bottom of the earth.. That would make it right side up here. Or is could be a safety feature for driver down under. Maybe the british realized that the rovers were spending more time oily side up, and put the fuel bowls upside down to keep the fires down. Then again, with the bowl upside down none of that crud would collect in your shot glass....

Just looked in an owners manual. 75 octane requires TDC with a 7:1 head. So a tad ATDC would probably not ping. david ------------------------------[ <- Message 34 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980312 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
From: Manny Garcia <mann@skyinet.net> Date: Thu, 12 Mar 1998 11:27:35 +0800 Hi All, I have a few questions for the list as follows : 1) Could you fit a S1 86" body + steering into a S3 88" Chassis. A friend is thinking of shipping in his S1 body, interior and steering (as original engine, gearbox and under chassis are in bad condition) and fit it in a S3 chassis, engine, gearbox and under chassis. Aside from shortening the chassis - would this be a direct fit or not ? Alternatively, anybody from US interested a green S1 ( Please e-mail me direct if so ) ? 2) Trying to refurbish 6 cyl engine - ------------------------------[ <- Message 35 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980312 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
