Subject: Re- Cheap CB's
Sorry - got you both beat with the old Lafayette 6-channel tube CB I still
have in the workshop. Works fine, too..... now I'm getting tempted to
install it for the 50th. 8*)
Re: Engine noise:
If it's a whining sound that changes pitch, then your dynamo's causing it.
Get an old condenser or two and put it across the power line to the CB to
bypass the noise to ground. The wire coming out of the condenser goes to
+12 - the can to ground (don't hook it up backward - trust me on this
one...8*) ). A good test for this is disconnecting the antenna - if you
still hear the noise it's coming up the power line.
If it's a sparking sound that changes in pitch - the resistor plugs should
be of help. Also, bond the bonnet to the bulkhead with a good-sized bit of
electrical braid - this will help trap the engine RF noise in the engine
compartment.
Antenna position's another good fix in problems like this - putting the
antenna at the back of the car rather than the front gets it away from the
engine-produced noise (which is usually pretty short-range).

Subject: Ragtop front bar?
In a nutshell - how the Hell do you mount the canvas front abr to the
windscreen if you ever plan to be non-ragtop again?
The front bar for the canvas seems to want to be riveted on - and as I plan
to go back to my cab top this Winter this seems a bit extreme to me.
I know there are a lot of folks who switch back and forth for Summer and
Winter - how do you do this without accumulating a bunch of drilled-out
rivets in your windscreen frame?

I don't know about yours, but I figure my Rover rattles so much already, what's a few more. Seriously though, I've wondered about this, but haven't gotten around to actually trying the only solution I can think of, which is small Rivnuts, but these would require drilling out larger holes. Alternatively, I've seen actual rivets that are threaded to take a small machine screw. As a matter of fact, now that I think of it, I bought some last year to try.

Mine came rivited to the top of the windscreen, but I drilled out the rivets to put on the hard top. I have since returned to soft top and just leave it unriveted works just fine.

Herman asks:

Yup - countersunk Pop-rivets. Handy little things, but you'll need to drill
the holes with a countersink to set them flush.
They're also handy for plugging random holes in bodywork that aren't
accessible from the back - drill countersink angle, plug and touch with a
dab of spot putty. Sand, paint and they disappear...

Wish I could answer your questions Dave. Unfortunately, when I made
inquiries (through channels, not myself) about getting a set of parabolics
prior to my "Spring Overhaul" last weekend I was informed that the U.S.
supplier was backordered until at least June.
I still have a set of poly spring bushes (through a new set of stock bushes
in the old springs so I wouldn't have to wrestle the poly's out) waiting to
go into a set of parabolics--and will be happy to report as soon as I can.

They sell it for near U$3500 Just two problems: I think those guys have not even the slightest idea of mechanics, since I asked them "Is it diesel or petrol" (to be exact I said "diesel or gasoline") and the guy answered me "It is diesel, and we take good care of it, tomorrow we are going to change the spark plugs on it" I have to make a trip to the other side of the country (not saying that its very big) just to see it.

Well, after plugging a few leaks in the Solex & trouble shooting a bad LT ignition circuit, my 1961 Series II is purring like a kitten! Thanks very much to all who offered their advise! Question: Is the heater that I have mounted on the engine side of the passenger footwell a Kodiak heater?? It was obviously added after the Rover arrived in Canada probably at the dealership. The heater core looks very North American. It's one of the early ones with an air intake that comes from the front of the wing by the headlights, piped over top of the tire and through the mud shield to the heater core.

If they are serious Land Rover fans they should be members of the Swedish Land Rover club. If you want information on Land Rovers for sale in Sweden you should check the Swedish Land Rover clubs home page www.canman.se/slrk/databas.htm This page lists all Land Rovers for sale from members. Unfortenately its in Swedish but you might get an idea on what there is anyway. The man responsible for the "for sale" list is the chairman Göran Kastell fax/phone +46 (0) 346 930 17. The page was updated 10/4 and it contains ten 88 PU/STW/HT, thirteen 109 STW/HT and six 109 PU. A "D" is diesel and "B" is petrol. Because of the high price for petrol (more than 1$/litre) diesel is more expensive. If you have questions or need translations please ask me. 3.500$ is about 27.000 SEK which is a fair price if the car is in god condition. I recently paid 38.000 SEK for a 109 diesel S3 in very good condition. Land Rovers are getting very popular in Sweden and it might be difficult to find cars in good condition, especially diesels.

Do this with the wheel on. grab the wheel at 6 and 12 o'clock and rock it in and out. tighten the adjuster (inner nut) until the wheel does not rock any more. loosen it in small increments until it begins to move again. go back one increment and then back it off maybe a half of an increment to be on the safe side. There should still be no perceptible movement. Lock down the tab on the lock washer. Install the lock nut making sure the inner nut does not turn much.

I have had other vehicles "borrowed" though. Nor have I actually spent a great deal of time in large cities (3 years out of the last 12 only)......however, I have come up with a couple of methods that seem to work well in a variety of circumstances. Vehicles get stolen while you are hiking and fishing as well as downtown. The key I was always told was to A. make the vehicle undesirable to steal and to B. slow them down as much as possible. 1. Freewheeling hubs all around - this worked great! - oh, except that the d**n selecto hubs always leaked a little. This was also great for towing. 2. Dogs - I have a Newfoundland and a yellow lab - together there is not enough room for a thief to work - nor do they like the attention the dogs give them. 3. Leave everything in neutral - tranny, OD, TC and hubs 4. My favorite - rig a separate starter button that completes the starter circuit. Make sure that the button has to be engaged as the key is turned. Lead the wiring from the engine compartment back to the switch. Hot wiring will not defeat this, since the connection is made after the ignition but before the starter. 5. Use a battery disconnect switch. 6. And as a last resort (the most intimidating) use a length of cable (or chain) to form a loop around the brake pedal, go up and around the steering wheel and back down and locked around the clutch pedal. This works great for rigs left topless...and tractors (stops the kids from rolling through farm fences and buildings) 7. pull the coil wire slightly out - looks good, cannot fire or pull a coil lead off 8. The fake blinking light - does keep the pros away. Well, I have used all these on one vehicle or another (I won't say which ones I am using tonight!!) - you could of course use all of them together. I do like the quick release steering wheel - I have seen that on stock cars. Keep all those good ideas coming My Ural needs 6 steps done to start it (one of them is turning on the key) If you fail to do any one of them, it will not start - I leave the key in it.

Indeed, none it seems. Went looking for new wiper blades several weekends

shorter than 12". One had a box marked 10", but it had one 10" and one

One term that is never used in the North American auto industry is
"firewall". The usual term is "dash" or "dash panel". The part which
contains the instruments, etc. is the "instrument panel".

Firewall is more like an "engine point of view" term for that steel =
division.
If you are looking from the inside of the car, you can see the "dash" =
running from side to side (the whole plastic stuff) and the "instrument =
panel" is in front of the driver, and the "center console" just there, =
in the center.
This is how I see it, and how we call it around here.
(not talking of any Series truck, of course!)

Richard, Try checking the BAK 102relay in the generator control panel to
see is it sticks on. Run with the lid off the box to see this. Set you
idle very low and you should see it click in and out at or around 27.8 to
28 volts. Get the wife to rev up and down to command to see this. There
should be no cuurent flowing with engine off.

They've been running a series with field scientists writing a letter home (ie. read out on the radio). So far we've had a British Antarctic Survey glaciologist, and an Open University Volcanologist.
