I spent many hours and much money in checking and replacing much of the fuel system only to find that the rubber membrane in the fuel pump had perished. This was renewed for less than £1.00!!!!!!!!!!!!! and the problem went away. My fuel pump was the type that allowed manual priming. Good luck! Ian PS.

Subject: Archiving LRO posts--redundant.
Saw something from a couple of days ago about saving all of the posts to
LRO. Just want to be sure that folks realize that, thanks to our listmaster
extraordinaire (All praise Bill!), this is done for us--with some cuts when
auto-reply filters go awry! ;-)--and is accessible and searchable using any
WWW browser. (Well, any that supports tables anyhow.) Check it out at
lro-info.html and conserve space on your own
drives.
One note here--sometimes "recent" archives aren't indexed for
searching--there's a process that Bill has to fit into his busy life. So
it's not a bad idea to save a few months worth of digests if you're real
serious about "total access."
RoverOn!

I've had both.Suction line failure on a Citroen C15D van (not mine, I hasten to add) giving the "start and die" symptom,and a spill line failure at the banjo union on no2 injector which had no effect on the engine but an 'orrible pong in the cab (My Land Rover this one),and an engine clean in places.As a matter of interest,the brass insert in the spill union had become uninserted.Cure was to remove the spill line, turn up a new brass insert(nice having a lathe at times like this),and using Fry's liquid solder resolder the new one thus produced into the union.

Subject: Re: [xj-s] British Cars Owner Survey- 6 Questions
This is a survey intended for all past or present owners of British Cars. If
you consider this survey to be an intrusion on your list, please tell me and
if there are enough complaints this will be the last British Car Owner Survey.
Why a survey? Us Americans are generally deprived of British cars. Even
the
British are slowly but surely being deprived of British cars. Please pardon my
intrusion onto your list, but I do believe that there is no way BMW (Leyland),
Ford (Jaguar-Aston), or The French (One of them owns Rootes Group, bought from
Chrysler) will EVER reintroduce our favorite cars unless there is some
documented demand for them. Cars that we can get, like the Jaguar, will become
increasingly less like the Jaguars we knew and remembered because the current
master-of-the-marque does not know what the essence of each marque is.
To help create original research, I ask that anyone with a few moments to
spare please answer the following questions about Jaguars. Each week, month,
(or never again if this posting pisses people off) we will do another marque,
to find out what the key characteristic of each marque are. The statistics
will be posted. REPLY DIRECTLY TO MGMAGNETTE@AOL.COM DO NOT REPLY DIRECTLY
TO YOUR OWN MAILING LIST. Chances are that I am not a member, and this one
letter was enough of an intrusion, we don't need to fill up the Hillman board
with junk about Jags. My suggestion is that you cut and paste the following
questions directly into your reply, if possible. Feel free to ramble on with
long answers if need be. OPINIONS OF NON-JAGUAR OWNERS ARE EXTREMELY VALUED
1. Do you own a Jaguar? If not, would you ever want one? Which one?
I own 4. I have owned at least 1 Jaguar since I was 15.
2. What does the name "Jaguar" mean to you?
thoroughbred, refinement, class, performance
3. What is your general idea of what a Jaguar owner is like?
Intelligent well mannered. Someone who KNOWS how to drive and KNOWS
their cars.
4. What elements make a Jaguar a Jaguar?
See #2. Mechanical Engineering, styling, Special JAguar interior
appointments(ie. Leather, wood)
5. What don't you like about Jaguars?
nothing
6. What do you see in older Jaguars that you want to see in the modern
versions as well?
Personality. Stop trying to please everybody and be individualistic.
Thank you for your time, and though these aren't alot of questions your
answers will cover alot of territory. I hope you didn't mind this intrusion
on your list. If this didn't upset too many people we will do "Rover" next
week, the car most likely to be introduced to America in the year 2000.
Thanks- John

First: In the winter of 1994 (My first winter with the Diesel, I bought it in Okt. 1993) the Landrover ist running fine at the start. After a few Km then there was no power, the car is going slower an slower. Then suddely it went like before. This happens every morning (at 5:30 AM) several times on my way to the work. I don´t want to get struck because it was very cold (abt minus 20 degree Celsius). After a few day I found the problem: The Water (a lot of) in the sediment and water tap (below the passager (right) side) there was so much water that if i drive the wind freesed it up. After removing of the water and dirt (abt 3 cm high) (on the day minus 10 C) the truck runs fine again. Second: In the Summer of 1994 (a few month later) on the B1. The Truck is going slow and then normal again. I thougth no problem "I know this". But the sedimentor was free ! After a few more Km (slow and fast) I stopped again and checked all. After removing of the Fuel pump (not the injector pump) and a strip down I found that there was the inlet valve is dirty. After cleaning all and a refit it go again (with no slow & fast). Third: If my truck parked longer than 10 hours I had to prime the fuel system. After a lot of tries I changed all seals an gaskeds (especialy the copper and aluminium ones) and after a final primimg the problem solved. (alwas clean the sedimentor before winter and change the gaskeds if removed) Hope this helps.

If you are really trying to save a few quid, you don't need to replace the
inlet valves. Only the exhaust valves/seats are affected by residual
oxygen in the exhaust flow....

There shouldn't be any difference in the servo units, only a difference in
how the vacuum is created on the petrol and diesels. Test both units by
drawing on the vacuum port. If you can't pull a vacuum on one, the
diaphragm is probably perforated or perished. Oh yeah, the plastic one-way
valves sometimes go bad separately.... Cheers

Compression is still 130-150 lbs/in2 on a 7:1 head! I know that I eventually will have a problem, but I'm not going to fix something that's not broken!

From: "William L. Leacock" <wleacock@pipeline.com> Date: Fri, 15 May 1998 20:24:49 -0400 Subject: Springs Chris, rebuilding road springs, especially the OE ones is a useful exercise. I usuualy start by hammering each leaf on an anvil ( a big piece of steel joist will do ) to flake off the loose rust. If the set is a bit flat it is possible to beat some set back into trhe leay. Start by putting the main leaf on its side on the floor, chalk allong the side so you have a copy of the curve, hammer the leaf against an edge and you can beat some curvature back into it, compare the curve with the original until you are happywith the new shape, mark out the new shape and then make all the others the same profile. Re assemble with a light smar of grease between the leaves. Thsi usaully gives the sprig another few years of life. It is particularly effective for springs in which the leaaves have separated due to the build up of rust. Reving the rust agfeter dismantling works wonders.

From: "William L. Leacock" <wleacock@pipeline.com> Date: Fri, 15 May 1998 20:40:43 -0400 Subject: Diesel starting problems Denis, your assesment is correct, it is not an air in the fuel problem. The Land Rover diesel does not self prime, the fact that you can start it again after a minute confirms this. The fact that it stops means that fuel is not being properly injected into the combustion chamber, or that compression is not present. ( insufficient air being drawn into the cylinder for compression, or poor ring condition ? or poor valve sealing ) The injectors have two orifices for fuel injection, one a smal bypass sprays fuel onto tje heater plug to aid starting, the other is contolled by a spring loaded needle which releases fuel when the injection pressure is reached, if either of these is dirty starting problems follow, but the fact that the engine runs well when it finally starts suggests that they are decent. Does the 109 have a servo ? The servo flap, if badly adjusted could cause lack of air for the combustion process, is the air filter clean ? Is the fule filter and fule pump sediment bowl clean ? Is the fuel pump working efficiently, this needs to generate 5 or 6 psi ( 35 to 40 kp ) of primary pressure for the distributor pump.

From: "William L. Leacock" <wleacock@pipeline.com> Date: Fri, 15 May 1998 20:48:30 -0400 Subject: Brake booster Huub, the brake booster could be used on the diesel, however you need some additrional equipment. A standard diesel engine will not provide sufficient vaccum under normal operating conditions to power a brake booster. Look in the parts list for a 109 series 3 and you will see a butterfly valve arrangement which is fitted at the air inlet, This valve closes when the accelerator is released and creates a vacuum in the inlet manifold. a small vacuum tank is also utilised as a vacuum reservoir.

I haven't heard anything about this ever, though what are the collective thoughts of fellow listers about using aluminium nuts and bolts to attach such things as inner and outer wing panels together? I know that aluminium fasteners will be more expensive, though I would like to prevent galvanic corrosion around the fasteners themselves. I'm worried about strength and resistance to deforming under the normal stress and strains the body panels will encounter. Any thoughts? And finally, if not aluminium, how about stainless steel? Or brass? Or copper? Thanks in advance, Brian 1960 Series II 88" S.W. ------------------------------[ <- Message 30 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980516 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]

Without getting into a long dissertation on galvanic corrosion the easiest solution is to place zinc (galvanising) steel against the alum. If you wish it is acceptable to use stainless (although not in areas requiring grade 5 or 8 strength bolts) hardware just as long as you use hot dipped washers.Zinc is less "noble" than aluminum and therefore becomes sacrificial to the alum. Stainless steels particularly the "3" series are significantly more noble than alum and will corrode faster than mild steel. BRIAN WILLOUGHBY wrote: > Hello to everyone.

I now have the ability to tolerate L.A. traffic, with my SIIa diesel! Whilst going for a "test drive" around Palos Verdes, Ca. this afternoon, I passed a pastel green SIII 88 (I think it was a SIII), going in the opposite direction! Any idea of whom this could have been? Charles P.S. - Anybody considering a SIII gearbox conversion please note: You have to cut away a bit at the flanges on the front crossmember (the one underneath the engine), because the hump in the gearbox casing for the clutch slave won't clear it. Also - either you have to go with the SIII clutch master, OR (like I did, being the poor bastard that I am), make a new hydro line from the master, ot the slave, AND use a thread adaptor on the slave cylinder (the diameter for the fitting is larger than the SII fittings) ------------------------------[ <- Message 33 -> end | Table of Contents | <- Digest 980516 -> Archive Index | <- Browser -> ]
