Dear list, As I wrote to the list some time ago I have a leak on top of my diesel tank rusthole. Diesel is leaking from the top of the tank where the gauge unit is placed. This round opening, approx 5 cm in diameter, is only tightened with an interesting piece of engineering art. Those who have seen it know what I mean. Are there known tricks to seal this opening and if so could someone please tell me how to do it? /Peter -------------------------------------- Peter Thoren 1975 109" SIII Diesel Långmyrtorp 740 20 Vänge 018-39 20 56 peter.thoren@genetik.uu.se -------------------------------------- ------------------------------[ <- Message 2 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980405 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

From: JKwas61947 <JKwas61947@aol.com> Date: Sat, 4 Apr 1998 10:14:56 EST Subject: Rover earns it's keep My wife, being the practical kind, was not overly fond of my Land Rover. She could not see the benefit of owning a 26 year old vehicle in which conversation is not possible at speeds above 50mph (a feature which I enjoy!). However, last Thursday, we got a delivery of hay for our horses, and our tractor would not start. No problem. I go up to the neighbor and ask him to tow the wagon up to the barn. He gets about 30 feet and digs in up to the axles in the wet spring ground. Uh-Oh! Now it's just starting to rain a little and the practical wife thinks we (read: me) need to start carrying the bales the 1/2 mile up the path to the barn! Yeah, right. So I take off and come back 5 minutes later with the Land Rover. Now it's the wife's turn to say "Yeah, right". I think she gently pointed out how if a tractor got stuck, blah, blah,blah.... Well, 8 bales in the back, 5 on the bonnett, 4 on the roof, and 15 on a skid towed behind (about 1400lbs of hay), and in 4 trips the hay was safe, sound, and dry! As the saying goes (and as I told her), It's Never Over In A Rover! Later that day I found her thumbing through my stack of old Rover Magazines! Now my wife wants me to buy a 101FC! Like I said, she is the practical kind!

That depends on what meaning you but in the word nearest - you can get as far as 500km to the north of Rvk. and 400 to the east - its no Autobahn but its asphalt.

From: David Scheidt <david@infocom.com> Date: Sat, 4 Apr 1998 11:21:08 -0500 (EST) Subject: copper brake pipes "Copper" brake pipes are almost certainly made of cupronickel, a variety of bronzes consisting of copper, nickel and possibly (depending on the particular alloy) iron and tin. They are noted for their corrosion resistance, malleablity, and ability to be extensivly cold worked without annealing. Cupronickel is commonly used in such things as condensers in marine applications and some industrial stills. I *think* that there is an aviation application or two, but I am not sure. I will look it up if some really wants to know. Galvanic corrosion is almost certainly a problem, but again, I would have to look it up. Cupronickel tubing is probably suitable for brake pipes, and a set should last the expected life of the car (you might want to replace them when you do the frame, say). If I were going to fit cupronickel brake pipes, I would make sure that the wall thickness was adequate, as bursting strength is not as high as with steel; but if they are selling the stuff as fit for the purpose, I would hope that someone has done the checking! I would also make sure that the pipes were well supported, as work hardening might (or not) shorten life span.

From: alan moore <amoore@teleport.com> Date: Sat, 04 Apr 1998 10:13:09 -0800 Subject: Rover Raffle Under Fire in Portland Greetings: Recently, Oregon Trout, the Pacific Northwest's premier wild fish non-profit organization, announced a fund raiser in which we would raffle off a 1998 Discovery. Tickets are $100 with a minimum of 350 and max of 750 to be sold. The local weekly, Willamette Week, in its infinite ignorance, was quick to publicly criticize us for aligning with "one of the most heinous contributors to global warming" and tabbed us the "Rogue of the Week." All of this set off a war of words between the paper and local reps from Land Rover Portland. Even with all of this attention, ticket sales have been slow, and we need help. If there is a way you could post our event on your page we would be most grateful. Also, any advice you might have to help make our event a success would be welcome. Details on the raffle are available at the Oregon Trout website: www.ortrout.org. Feel free to e-mail me at home or at info@ortrout.org. Thanks so much and happy roving!

Rubber bushings were completly gone from the rear of both springs and one rear chassis sleeve. No wonder it clunked when turning and hitting bumps. Both front bushings were intact. To my surprize only one bolt didn't want to leave the company of its metal sleeve. Cut through both sides of the bolt with a sawzall. Removal was easier than I had expecxted. I'm sure the front won't be as easy. Now I just have to find some time to install the new springs. Keith R.

Hi Matt,
The radio was mounted under the passenger parcel shelf, directly
above the Smith heater. The bracket for it is still there. Measuring from
the outside edge of the dash frame the first hole is 7 inches in and the
second is 5 and a half away from that one. There is also a hole through the
bulkhead that must have carried the antenna cable. A similar mystery hole
is about midway along the right wing and there are metal cable supports
along the inside top of the wing to about where the hole is.
The microphone clip is directly below the right hand wiper motor and
mounted on the surrounding frame of the dash. No holes between the vents.
I think the radio must have been a serious impediment to any passenger.
It's quite possible that your vehicle has an oil industry
background. From what I've been able to gather, the LR was the vehicle of
choice for the industry in western Canada for a long time.
Have you tried asking Land Rover for the production record? It
usually lists the name of the first buyer.

I know that the route from Akureyri to Reykjavik is mostly asphalted, as are short stretches outside the towns on the south / south east coast. Actually, I think Iceland is the most roverable country which i have visited, I can't recommend a better holiday than bouncing my way from the blue lagoon to Thingvellir anti-clockwise - just take your own car, cos the local rentals are EXPENSIVE!

Could someone out in Rover land share with me your experiences and advice in
running military style high traction tires? Are they noisy on pavement? Do
they lack wet traction? Are they the best thing since sliced bread? I await

I didn't get many ideas of why my carb needs so much priming if I let the vehicle sit a day or two. I changed the fuel pump to mechanical so of course I know why it takes a bit to get fuel to the carb, but when I had the electrical pump I had to wait a few seconds for the pump to fill the float chamber. I don't believe you can evaporate that much fuel in a day or two. It must be running into the manifold or out of the carb. Is there a common leak problem with the Zenith carbs.
