Subject: Series Shock replacement.

Hello everyone...

   Just a quick question, does anyone have the part number for the Ranchero 
shocks for series LR? I think the time has come to replace mine. Any opinions 
on types of shocks, which are best? The only reason I am leaning towards the 
Ranchero is 
because of being able to get them locally.

Thanks

Subject:  Re: 88 Diesel front pipe question

I answered my own question. After posting my inquiry, I found my RN
catalog, and looking at part numbers, it appears they are different. Rats!
I have a new petrol front pipe I was hoping to be able to use.
Anybody out there with a SWB rover that they converted to petrol from
diesel with a diesel front pipe they'd like to trade? I need a diesel front
pipe for a manifold that has the downward manifold outlet.
Cheers.

While I've heard of greasing between the leaves to make 'em work better,
I've also heard that this grease can accumulate grit and road funk to
create a "grinding paste" that will erode the springs.  Somewhere I saw
this thin, plastic (Teflon?) slip-sheet that you place between each leaf
upon reassembly.  Needing springs in the near future (and I hope I incur
the wrath of Nigel's disease), has anyone else seen this stuff?  Cheers

Does anyone out there in Central NYS have a decent used carb for a
s2a(2.25) that they KNOW works? I've been swapping bacjk and forth from
a Solex to a Rochester toa carter to a holley to another Rochester and
have had problems with all of them, its driving me nuts but I don't have
the $$$ to buy a new one just yet, I need something that is good to hold
me over until I can afford to get a new one in August or so, I have
plenty of spare parts from a S2a I could trade and or pay a bit of cash
maybe, right now I just can't afford the $150+ I'd need  to pay for a
new unit...

Thanks a lot, I really appreciate any help I can get...

Subject: Re: Spring ahead - lube

I have - and continue to use - dry graphite spray. They graphite is in a
liquid suspension which 'flashes' off after you spray it in. It made the
springs slid enough to make the ride comfortable for my eight month pregnant
wife (anyone else with similar tales?). Dry graphite does not attract dirt
and keeps on lubricating, it has been three and a half years since I did
them (I did not remove the springs to do it). The ride seems similar to a
D90 - yes, I spent time in one of these also.

Subject: Re: Unleaded Fuel catalyst

Haven't tried it but I have looked into it for use in my own vehicle. 
It's basically lumps of a Tin compound which dissolve into the 
petrol. The dissolved tin compound then acts much the same as the old 
lead compound. There are a few problems with this though:

1. It's not actaully a catalyst since it very slowly 
dissolves away and a catalyst, by definition, is not changed in 
operation. However I beleive that it dissolves very slowly so it 
should last a long time.

2. It's a bit pricey for what it is.

However, if anyone could tell me what the compound is then I could 
just by 500g of the stuff form the local chemical suppliers and chuck 
it in my tank!

I was at an event this weekend and saw the parabolic springs in action.

Woohoo~!!!!

Finally a coil-upgrade for series vehicles (sans coils of course).

They were smooth on the road, smooth on the rough, tons of articulation and
man were they just cool all around.

I *was* planning a custom coil rig, but now that I've seen the parabolics,
my custom rig just changed back to a leafer.  (stronger, cheaper components
etc...)

So, my .02 cents would be do the parabolics at all costs (which isn't that
bad actually).  You won't regret it.  I've owned an 88 (with dead springs)
and a 109 that had dead springs and then I changed them to new Genuine
springs and am thinking I might have kept the 109 if I had used parabolics.

Call me a softie, but for my money parabolics are the way to go.

YMMV.

Subject: Re: Spring ahead - lube

To the group - I have sprayed them once, but am looking to do it again. I
also did it on my previous LR. It needs to be done every 20,000 - 30,000
miles depending on your driving conditions and the rusting rate between the
springs (the rust interferes with the graphite). I use an 8-12oz can per set
of springs. Wear a latex glove because the overspray or dripping on your
hand will stain well!
I spray it in at the ends and let it run down to the middle. The graphite
when dried seems to stay put well.

Subject: brake servo vacuum system

Hi all,
I own a SIII '78 88" diesel and have a few problems with brake servo vacuum
system.
When I have bought the car , last year, and decided to restore it, the
capacity to brake was very insufficient.
To get my LR through the MOT test I changed brake shoes and dual master
cylinder.
These operations didn't resolve completely the problem but it was enough to
pass the test.
Now I find the adjustament of the inlet manifold butterfly valve isn't
correct. The butterfly valve isn't fully closed when the accelerator
linkage is in the idle position.
Thanks for any suggestion.

John,

   What Michael was refering to was the SNAFU in the latest Rovers North 
newsletter article by Jeff Aronson. Jeff met us all at Portland Brewery
one night, and despite taking tons of notes on his little scratch pad, managed
to confuse people, places, and vehicles. Mike Slade owns a 90 Rangie, and is
a professional photographer, and uses his truck on the job. Mike Fredette, me,
has the 101 FC's, 3 at the time actually. However, Jeff thinks we both have 
them. I gave him 10 pics or so of my 101 during it's resto, and he didn't 
use any of them, "wasting" his picture space on a grey market Rangie and a
Trek Disco. We are all having a good chuckle about the article, Mike Slade
getting lots of people asking where his 101FC is. He and I decided he just
had a few to many ales that night, scratch pad notwithstanding.
    On another note, Mike and I were both out with lots of other kooks this
weekend at Doug Shipman's Team Trophy Challenge out in the Coast Range of
mountains west of Portland, Or. Mike Slade was shooting lots of good pics,
and is planning on writing up an article for submission to 4Wheeler et all.
Should be good as he can realy take some outstanding photos. The event itself
was a real bugger. Teams consisting of two trucks, two people per truck, were
sent out on two 50+/- loops on Saturday, involving some very nasty tasks.
Many not returning till 8 or 9 that night, only to be sent out on the night
task, from which people were trickling back to camp till 4:30 AM! Then up and 
out 
of camp at 7:30 for the TSD rally on Sun, concluding at about 1:00PM. On top
of all this the weather really cooperated, at least as far as Doug Shipman
was concerned. It rained steadily all week leading up to it, and right through
the event. Temps in the 30's at night and 50's daytime, and lots of cold wet mud
to wear competetors down. And it did. Glad I was in a nice warm, dry 101 sitting
at my rally check point, and not competing. If anyone ever wanted a taste of
Camel Trophy, this was it. Just two days instead of 18-20.

 Err I beg to differ, from personal experience I can assure you that the rag
top for a lightweight and a ser 2 or 3 88 are  interchangeable, as are the
sticks, frames etc. The width difference of approx .25 inches per side is
not noticable. Truck cabs and hard tops can also be interchanged with

Hi All,
	This weekend I'll be pulling the tub off my swb parts rover. Any
words of wisdom before I start?
	I then will dissasemble it in order to install new rear panels and
a new rear quarter panel. I've removed rivits before, so that shouldn't be
a problem. What do I do to seperate pieces that are spot welded together?
	I plan to rivet it all back together - are pop-rivits strong
enough? I guess I can get the round-headed rivits somewhere - but is it a
real pain to hammer them while in a big piece such as a tub? Are there
special tools for setting these?
	The PO has an aluminum welder I can probably borrow - but I don't
know anything about it or how to use it - Is there a Al welding article or
website somewhere out there? A book maybe?

Thanks in Advance -

Do you have thin 'Releasing Oil'? over there? It is used to loosen off nuts

used to use that on leaves - it 'creeps' between them, much better than

Hi Peter,

If you have access to a welder - make a few steel bars with 1/4 or 5/6
nuts welded over holes in the bars to use when reassembling instead of
having to have one hand on the bolt, one hand on the spanner, one hand
on the nu, one hand on the washer, and one hand to lean on whilst
reaching around the tub. All my tub fixings are made in this way, and it
reduces the task to a one-man job - you'll see what I mean by Sunday
evening :-)

Good luck

Adrian Redmond

Has anyone heard of or tried liquid gaskets? A spray bottle containing
what resembles silicone mastic, but especially made for engines, diffs,
gearboxes and the like. I am tryingh this stuff for the first time next
weekend.- Any words of wisdom out there on this one?

Hi Adrian,
my friends and I have used it in loads of different places - but we get it in
tubes either little (toothpaste size) or mastic size and then use a mastic-
type gun.
 I personally think it often works better than a gasket 'cos it fills up
slight imperfections if you haven't cleaned the old gtasket off completely.
 Takes some handling though, try not to get it where you don't want it.

best cheers

Subject: RE: Use of Aluminium Nuts and Bolts

Brian,

I,ve been using a product called Duralac with good success on my 
SIII, and in marine applications on an aluminium boat. It's 
specifically designed as a jointing compound for dissimilar metals, 
originally for the aviation industry. I have used a variety of 
fasteners made from different types of metal through unpainted 
aluminium on the boat (gets regular use in salt water) which have 
been in place for up to ten years now with no sign of corrosion to 
the aluminium at all. I'll have a look this afternoon after work and 
dig out the manufacturers details.

Mark.

Subject: What are symptoms of blown head gasket?

Besides the usual oil in coolant and coolant in oil, which mine has neither,
what are some other symptoms of a head gasket that's about to go completely?
My truck has gradually been loosing power, especially on any incline.  The
motor was recently rebuilt.  It idles and revs nice and smooth.  I've given it
a tune-up, oil, valves, air filter, etc.  and even switched the carb with a
spare.  The fuel pump is recent and so is the distributor, and yes the advance
is working.  I checked for binding brakes today and the only other things I
can think of is the head gasket or, dare I say it, a sticking valve. Any
Ideas?
Thanks in adv.

Subject: Smokey Mtn. Sighting

Was anyone on this list over in the Tennessee/North Carolina border area
over this past weekend?  A friend at work attended a big Toyota FJ conclave
over there and spotted what sounded like a Series One with a half cab. 
Both he and I are curious as to the identification of this vehicle.  I was
only able to tentatively I.D. it from his description; however, I showed
him the "Spotter's Guide" in the Rovers North catalogue and he said nothing
matched well.  Thanks in advance.

I saw with my own two little eyes while I was sitting in my one of a kind "
best there was" "best there is" & "the best there ever will be" the mighty
Series 1. Now I will not lie because I did see this strange looking thing
moving up the driveway under it's own power (of which it had very little ) 
But it was the only one I have seen move for a long time. To be fair to all
that may posses one of these strange looking green sometimes black stuck in
the mud , parking lot , or was that a stream machines  with all due respect
to the Imports that posses  these fine works of art I will say no more and
go to bed dreaming "what the hell was that thing"  By the way I did take a
photo of one these things  a  video is not worth the effort as they don't
often move. Being the nice bloke I  an I will say no more.    Sweet Dreams.

Hi Brian,

this friend, I've got one as well, and he's daft enough to run an FJ.
As you can imagine, in the UK he's pretty lonely (the FJ was never sold here).
Would your friend have details of an FJ owners club or whoever organised the
conclave I can pass to my friend?

best cheers
